This award supports a workshop and community meetings in Pond Inlet, Nunavut, Canada Fall 2015 to solicit ideas and advice from Inuit community members for a planned "Narwhal: Inuit and Ice in a Changing Arctic" exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History planned for July 2017. The exhibit was envisioned as the capstone of the community outreach plan for a previously funded Arctic Social Science research award "Using Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, Traditional Knowledge, To Guide The Development Of Hypotheses On Narwhal Tusk Function." The Fall 2015 workshop includes elders and hunters (some of whom collaborated on the science project), community leaders, Inuit organizations, educators, scientists, and Smithsonian support staff to discuss a variety of themes for the proposed exhibit. In addition, meetings will be held with Hamlet Assembly representatives and the Hunters and Trappers Organization of Pond Inlet. The proposed Themes for the exhibit to be discussed include how natural scientists and Inuit community members collaborate to expand their knowledge of narwhal anatomy, physiology, behavior, and the Arctic; how narwhals are changing and adapting as their environment changes and how these changes are affecting local people who depend on the narwhal for food and folklore; and a final theme that would examine how people from Inuit, European, and Asian cultures have created artwork, legends, and folklore representing how they have understood narwhals through time, including up to the present. To ensure that Inuit voices are an integral part of the construction of the exhibit, members of the Pond Inlet community will be approached to participate on a review panel of Inuit representatives to work with the exhibit team in order to ensure accuracy and Inuit perspectives Members of the Pond Inlet Hunters and Trappers Organization will also be invited to participate as reviewers for the traditional knowledge of the narwhal and its presentation in the exhibit. In addition, their will be meetings between scientists and local artists, who will be contracted to represent pictorial and art renderings of indigenous hunting, narwhal behavior, and the Inuit legend of the narwhal to be included in the exhibit. The final part of the workshop will be youth-focused in order to elicit information and ideas that will appeal to indigenous children in the Arctic, as well as extend to other indigenous cultures around the world.

该奖项支持2015年秋季在加拿大努纳武特池塘湾举行的研讨会和社区会议，以征求因纽特人社区成员的想法和建议，计划于2017年7月在史密森自然历史博物馆举办“独角鲸：因纽特人和北极变化中的冰”展览。 该展览被设想为以前资助的北极社会科学研究奖“利用因纽特人Qaujimajatuqangit，传统知识，指导独角鲸獠牙功能假设的发展”的社区外展计划的顶点。“2015年秋季研讨会包括长者和猎人（其中一些人在科学项目上合作），社区领袖，因纽特人组织，教育工作者，科学家和史密森尼支持人员讨论拟议展览的各种主题。 此外，还将与哈姆雷特大会代表和池塘湾猎人和捕兽者组织举行会议。 拟议的展览主题将讨论包括自然科学家和因纽特人社区成员如何合作，以扩大他们对独角鲸解剖学，生理学，行为和北极的知识;独角鲸如何随着环境的变化而变化和适应，以及这些变化如何影响依赖独角鲸的食物和民间传说的当地人;最后一个主题是研究来自因纽特人，欧洲和亚洲文化的人们如何创造艺术品，传说和民间传说，代表他们如何理解独角鲸随着时间的推移，包括到现在。 为了确保因纽特人的声音是展览建设的一个组成部分，池塘湾社区的成员将被邀请参加一个由因纽特人代表组成的审查小组，与展览小组合作，以确保准确性和因纽特人的观点。池塘湾猎人和捕兽者组织的成员也将被邀请作为独角鲸传统知识及其介绍的审查员参加在展览中。 此外，他们将是科学家和当地艺术家之间的会议，他们将签约代表土著狩猎，独角鲸行为和独角鲸的因纽特人传说的图片和艺术效果图将被列入展览。 讲习班的最后一部分将以青年为重点，以征求对北极土著儿童有吸引力的信息和想法，并推广到世界各地的其他土著文化。
