Part 1The purpose of this workshop is to bring together Native American/Alaska Native (NA/AN) tribal communities, leaders, elders, and cultural practitioners, faculty, students, geoscience and health professionals who engage in various aspects of geoscience, food sovereignty, and human health to emphasize both the importance geoscience plays in environmental sustainability and monitoring and the interconnectedness of geoscience in food sovereignty and thus human health. The workshop will contribute to empirical knowledge through the creation of a cross cultural geoscience learning community dedicated to respectfully and ethically coupling Traditional Knowledge and geoscience practices thereby expanding both knowledge systems. This workshop will add to the knowledge of collaboratively building upon best practices for engaging in geoscience research with tribal nations. Part 2The workshop, which will weave together geoscience research with sustaining traditional nutritional methodologies will address the following questions 1) how does geoscience research impact Indigenous food sovereignty (implications from changing weather patterns)?, 2) what geoscience research is being conducted with tribal nations to monitor environmental health and sustainability? 3) why is geoscience research important for tribal nations? 4) what knowledge needs to be generated or shared regarding the coupling of tribal knowledge (TK) with geoscience? and 5) why is food sovereignty important? Throughout the workshop participants will be prompted to consider these questions to expand interdisciplinary partnerships, promote ethical and culturally aligned geoscience research, and highlight the importance of geoscience in environmental health and the role of geoscience research around issues of food sovereignty.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.

本次研讨会的目的是召集美洲原住民/阿拉斯加原住民（NA/AN）部落社区、领袖、长老、文化从业者、教师、学生、地球科学和健康专业人员，他们从事地球科学、食物主权和人类健康的各个方面，强调地球科学在环境可持续性和监测中的重要性，以及地球科学在食物主权和人类健康中的相互联系。该研讨会将通过创建一个跨文化的地球科学学习社区，致力于以尊重和道德的方式将传统知识和地球科学实践结合起来，从而扩展这两个知识体系，从而为经验知识做出贡献。这次研讨会将增加与部落国家合作开展地球科学研究的最佳实践的知识。第二部分研讨会将把地球科学研究与维持传统营养方法结合起来，将解决以下问题：1)地球科学研究如何影响土著粮食主权（气候模式变化的影响）？2)为了监测环境健康和可持续性，正在与部落国家进行哪些地球科学研究？3)为什么地球科学研究对部落国家很重要？4)关于部落知识（TK）与地球科学的耦合，需要产生或共享哪些知识？5)为什么粮食主权很重要？在整个研讨会期间，与会者将考虑这些问题，以扩大跨学科伙伴关系，促进符合伦理和文化的地球科学研究，并强调地球科学在环境卫生中的重要性以及地球科学研究在粮食主权问题上的作用。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
