University of Washington doctoral candidate Joyce LeCompte-Mastenbrook, supervised by Dr. Stevan Harrell, will undertake research on the relationship between indigenous traditional food movements using public lands and external management of those lands. Advocates for increasing use of traditional foods recognize a strong link between cultural disruption, alienation from the land, contemporary dietary practices, and high rates of metabolic diseases in Native communities. Devolution of decision-making within land management agencies appears to have fostered increasing collaborative and co-management agreements between tribes and public land managers on lands comprising treaty-reserved food gathering areas. The goal of this project is to understand the effects of cross-cultural collaborations between Native communities and land management agencies on the paradigms, policies, and practices of each.The researcher will undertake 12 months of research among the Coast Salish tribes of Washington State and the federal land managers responsible for the lands being used by those tribes. The researcher will gather data with a mix of social science methods including participant observation; documentation of Coast Salish indigenous environmental knowledge; formal and informal interviewing; cultural domain analysis; Thematic Apperception Tests; and analysis of archival records. The research is important because it will contribute to theories of under what circumstances policies that promote cultural diversity are compatible with policies that promote biological diversity. Findings also will fill gaps in the ethnography of the Pacific Northwest Coast peoples. This award also supports cross-cultural collaborations and communication, and the education of a graduate student.

华盛顿大学博士候选人Joyce LeCompte-Mastenbrook将在Stevan Harrell博士的指导下，研究利用公共土地的土著传统粮食运动与这些土地的外部管理之间的关系。提倡增加使用传统食物的人认识到，文化破坏、与土地的疏远、当代饮食习惯和土著社区代谢性疾病的高发病率之间有着密切的联系。土地管理机构内部决策权的下放似乎促进了部落与公共土地管理者之间就条约保留的粮食采集区土地达成越来越多的合作和共同管理协议。本项目的目标是了解土著社区和土地管理机构之间的跨文化合作对各自的范式，政策和实践的影响。研究人员将在华盛顿州的海岸萨利希部落和负责这些部落使用的土地的联邦土地管理人员之间进行为期12个月的研究。研究人员将收集数据与社会科学方法的混合，包括参与者观察;沿海萨利希土著环境知识的文件;正式和非正式的采访;文化领域分析;主题统觉测试;和档案记录的分析。这项研究之所以重要，是因为它将有助于关于在何种情况下促进文化多样性的政策与促进生物多样性的政策相一致的理论。调查结果还将填补太平洋西北海岸民族志的空白。该奖项还支持跨文化合作和交流，以及研究生的教育。
