Historical landscape photographs in museum and archival collections are critical resources for identifying and characterizing environmental shifts due to climate change and other factors. Repatriation or return of these cultural heritage resources to Indigenous communities assists local stakeholders in assessing changes over time, formulating plans to address and respond to future changes, thus reducing risk and enhancing community resilience. This project, in collaboration with the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) and the Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA), creates a unique opportunity for the Iñupiat of Arctic Alaska and Ainu peoples of northern Japan to participate in a visual repatriation project and engage in community-centered heritage resource management. This project advances understanding of the processes of social and environmental change and resultant impacts on Indigenous peoples and fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers and Indigenous communities in Alaska and Japan.This collaborative project employs diverse methods, including story mapping, repeat photography, oral history interviews, and photovoice to advance understanding of environmental change and foster intergenerational dialogue among Indigenous communities. Project activities include workshops and cultural exchanges, and community knowledge curation by Iñupiaq and Ainu community participants, co-authoring and co-editing a catalogue of historical photographs, and co-publishing peer-reviewed articles. This project advances Indigenous research sovereignty and cultural heritage repatriation efforts through knowledge co-production and builds collaborative relationships among the circumpolar 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.

博物馆和档案收藏中的历史景观照片是识别和表征由于气候变化和其他因素而导致的环境变化的关键资源。这些文化遗产资源归还或返回土著社区有助于当地利益相关者评估随着时间的变化，制定计划和应对未来变化的计划，从而降低风险并增强社区的韧性。该项目与阿拉斯加大学Fairbanks（UAF）以及北极（ELOKA）的当地观察和知识的交流为北极阿拉斯加和日本北部北部人民的Iñupiat创造了一个独特的机会，以参与视觉归还项目，并从事社区鉴定的遗产资源管理。该项目提高了对社会和环境变化过程的理解，以及对土著人民的影响，并促进了阿拉斯加和日本的研究人员和土著社区之间的协作和知识交流。该协作项目采用大型项目​​，包括故事映射，重复摄影，口述历史访谈，口头历史访谈，以及对环境变化和photovoice的认识，以促进环境变化和构图中的对话。项目活动包括研讨会和文化交流，以及Iñupiaq和Ainu社区参与者的社区知识策划，共同撰写和共同编辑历史照片的目录，以及共同发表的同行评审文章。该项目通过知识共同制作来推进土著研究主权和文化遗产遣返工作，并在电路波拉尔社区之间建立协作关系。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来获得的支持。
