The unique insights provided by tribal nations and their Indigenous knowledges are recognized as being key to developing more sustainable futures. This project empowers Northwest tribes to take the lead in identifying research priorities for a sustainable regional systems research network that is driven by tribes for tribes. The project will bring together multiple organizations, disciplines, and tribes to co-produce a Sustainable Regional Systems Research Network (SRS RN). The proposed work will focus on climatic impacts on forests, foods, and water. Individual tribes have developed adaptation strategies grounded in Indigenous knowledges that could benefit Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities as the Northwest region of the USA faces rapid changes from climatic impacts.The research will be based on the socio-ecological system, a foundational concept in all Indigenous knowledge. The tribes of the Northwest view their own health and wellbeing as existing via mutually beneficial relationships among humans, nonhuman relatives, and the environment. In collaboration with the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, the project will be led by the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI), whose member tribes are implementing localized, sustainable adaptive resource management projects founded on Indigenous knowledge in the context of climate change that may be scalable to other regional systems. The 12-month project will consist of tribal representatives meeting on monthly calls and two in-person workshops to discuss their respective projects. Representatives will identify which projects might be suitable to scale to a regional system, identify existing research gaps, hone research questions, and develop hypotheses about the regional systems of study (forests, foods, and water, in the context of climate) in preparation for drafting an SRS RN full proposal. The sustainable resource management systems that result from adaptations based on Indigenous knowledge would be desirable societal outcomes for all communities.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.

部落民族提供的独特见解及其土著知识被认为是发展更可持续未来的关键。该项目授权西北部落带头确定可持续区域系统研究网络的研究重点，该网络由部落驱动。该项目将汇集多个组织，学科和部落，共同建立可持续区域系统研究网络（SRS RN）。拟议的工作将侧重于气候对森林、食物和水的影响。个别部落已经制定了基于土著知识的适应战略，这些战略可以使土著和非土著社区受益，因为美国西北地区面临气候影响的快速变化。研究将基于社会生态系统，这是所有土著知识的基础概念。西北部的部落认为他们自己的健康和福祉是通过人类、非人类亲属和环境之间的互利关系而存在的。与Swinomish印第安部落社区合作，该项目将由西北印第安人附属部落（ATNI）领导，其成员部落正在实施基于土著知识的本地化，可持续的适应性资源管理项目在气候变化的背景下，可以扩展到其他区域系统。这个为期12个月的项目将包括部落代表每月举行电话会议和两次面对面讨论各自项目的讲习班。代表们将确定哪些项目可能适合扩展到区域系统，确定现有的研究差距，磨练研究问题，并制定有关区域研究系统（气候背景下的森林、食物和水）的假设，为起草做准备SRS RN完整提案。可持续资源管理系统是基于土著知识的适应性发展的结果，这将是所有社区都希望获得的社会成果。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进行评估，被认为值得支持。
