Practicing resilience has always been vital to Ojibwe lifeways. Grounded in the importance of place, Ojibwe worldviews recognize the hierarchically dependent Four Orders (physical, plant, animal, human) and the importance of cultural security for maintaining these relationships. When any of these orders is threatened, resilience and sustainability are also threatened. Environmentally destructive development and climate change, alongside cultural decline, for example, impact communities’ abilities to respond to climate change and natural disasters. This project aims to address the resilience challenges faced by Indigenous communities by bringing together scientific and traditional ecological knowledge and utilizing data science and advanced sensing technologies to strengthen data sovereignty, resource sustainability, and climate resilience in Ojibwe communities. Understanding Indigenous resilience is a complex endeavor. Most resilience science generally develops in isolation from the communities experiencing climate change, natural disasters, and extreme weather events and focuses primarily on cities, large-scale food and energy production, water resources, and industrial systems. Integrating scientific and traditional ecological knowledge to strengthen resilience requires collaborative, sovereignty-affirming, tribally-driven research to address many fundamental questions: (1) How can transdisciplinary research best foster resilience in the face of long-term declines in environmental quality and short-term extreme events?; (2) How can scientific and traditional ecological knowledge be synergized to improve resilience in Indigenous communities?; (3) What mechanisms, tools, and technologies best support collection and synthesis of scientific and traditional ecological knowledge?; and, (4) What indicators can most effectively translate synthesized knowledge into improved resilience capabilities in Indigenous communities? This planning project brings together a core group of scientists in engineering, natural resource management, computer science, and social sciences with community leaders and knowledge holders to identify culturally relevant indicators for monitoring resilience and co-produce decision-support tools to strengthen community resilience. This will be achieved by: (1) developing a fundamental and respectful understanding of traditional ecological knowledge, systems, and co-production; (2) developing understanding of the threats to Ojibwe resilience; (3) establishing new methodologies incorporating the relationships of the Ojibwe Four Orders with state-of-the-art environmental sensing and data science to help identify and evaluate resilience solutions; and, (4) developing a framework to identify and analyze pathways to adaptation and/or increased resilience for Ojibwe nations/ The proposed plan will offer a resilience framework to develop monitoring, prediction, and response systems and decision-making tools that can be extended to other Native Nations and communities to advance cultural, food, and water security.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.

练习韧性对奥吉布的生活方式一直是至关重要的。基于场所的重要性，奥吉布韦的世界观认识到等级依赖的四个秩序(物理、植物、动物、人类)以及文化安全对维持这些关系的重要性。当这些秩序中的任何一个受到威胁时，韧性和可持续性也会受到威胁。例如，破坏环境的发展和气候变化，以及文化衰落，都会影响社区应对气候变化和自然灾害的能力。该项目旨在通过汇集科学和传统生态知识，并利用数据科学和先进的传感技术，加强奥吉布社区的数据主权、资源可持续性和气候适应能力，解决土著社区面临的复原力挑战。理解土著复原力是一项复杂的工作。大多数恢复力科学通常是在经历气候变化、自然灾害和极端天气事件的社区中孤立发展的，主要关注城市、大规模食品和能源生产、水资源和工业系统。整合科学和传统生态知识以加强复原力需要协作、肯定主权、传统驱动的研究，以解决许多基本问题：(1)面对环境质量的长期下降和短期极端事件，跨学科研究如何最好地培养复原力？(2)如何将科学和传统生态知识协同作用以提高土著社区的复原力？(3)哪些机制、工具和技术最能支持科学和传统生态知识的收集和合成？以及(4)哪些指标可以最有效地将综合知识转化为土著社区提高的复原力？这一规划项目将工程学、自然资源管理、计算机科学和社会科学的核心科学家小组与社区领导人和知识持有者聚集在一起，以确定监测复原力的文化相关指标，并共同制作决策支持工具，以加强社区复原力。这将通过以下方式实现：(1)发展对传统生态知识、系统和联合生产的基本和尊重的理解；(2)发展对Ojibwe复原力的威胁的理解；(3)建立新的方法，将Ojibwe四个秩序的关系与最先进的环境传感和数据科学结合起来，以帮助识别和评估复原力解决方案；以及，(4)为奥吉布国家制定一个框架，以确定和分析适应和/或提高韧性的途径/拟议的计划将提供一个韧性框架，以开发监测、预测和响应系统以及决策工具，这些系统和决策工具可以扩展到其他土著国家和社区，以促进文化、食品和水安全。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
