This project is centered on conceptualizing Indigenous Knowledge to better understand historical and contemporary ways in which Alaska Native people steward salmon, the cultural contexts connected to salmon stewardship, and Indigenous approaches to current management practices and systems. Indigenous people have served as stewards of Alaska lands and waters for thousands of years yet have been largely excluded from science and management systems. This project explores how Indigenous peoples’ and the knowledge they hold contribute to fisheries science and management and how this contribution is critical to better understand sustainability, climate change, and access to fisheries, especially in light of the rapid changes ongoing in the Arctic. Addressing these challenges in a holistic way will not only benefit Indigenous peoples, but all global citizens, animals, and ecosystems. The project team builds upon years of pilot research, soliciting guidance and creating relationships to ensure a rigorous and diverse approach to the project. The specific objectives of this project are: 1) to study and document Indigenous values, knowledge, and governance of salmon in regions across Alaska and the adaptation of these systems over time; 2) to assess and analyze current salmon science and management systems; and 3) to better understand ways to incorporate Indigenous peoples, values, knowledge, management, and governance mechanisms into current systems. The project adopts Indigenous research frameworks and methodologies that support cultural knowledge and strengthen research relationships. Driven by Indigenous methodologies, dialogues and multi-generational interviews co-led by Indigenous students in their home communities are the building block methods of the project. These methods help the project team to explore the deep roots of the relationships and stewardship practices, values, and knowledge of Alaska Native peoples, as well as assess the current western science and management system from Indigenous perspectives and identify areas to better incorporate and dovetail these two knowledge systems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目的核心是概念化土著知识，以更好地了解阿拉斯加土著人管理鲑鱼的历史和当代方式，与鲑鱼管理有关的文化背景，以及土著人对当前管理实践和系统的方法。土著人民数千年来一直担任阿拉斯加土地和沃茨的管理者，但在很大程度上被排除在科学和管理系统之外。该项目探讨了土著人民及其掌握的知识如何为渔业科学和管理做出贡献，以及这种贡献如何对更好地了解可持续性、气候变化和渔业准入至关重要，特别是考虑到北极正在发生的快速变化。以整体方式应对这些挑战不仅有利于土著人民，也有利于所有全球公民、动物和生态系统。 项目团队建立在多年的试点研究基础上，寻求指导并建立关系，以确保对项目采取严格和多样化的方法。该项目的具体目标是：1）研究和记录阿拉斯加地区的土著价值观，知识和鲑鱼治理以及这些系统随着时间的推移而适应; 2）评估和分析当前的鲑鱼科学和管理系统; 3）更好地了解如何将土著人民，价值观，知识，管理和治理机制纳入当前系统。该项目采用支持文化知识和加强研究关系的土著研究框架和方法。在土著方法的推动下，土著学生在其家乡社区共同领导的对话和多代访谈是该项目的基本方法。这些方法帮助项目团队探索阿拉斯加原住民的关系和管理实践、价值观和知识的深层根源，以及从土著人的角度评估当前的西方科学和管理体系，并确定更好地融合和衔接这两个知识体系的领域。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
