The Crow Reservation community is exposed to high concentrations of environmental contaminants through a number of factors. These include: 1) widespread leasing of agricultural lands, which may reduce the incentive for operator environmental stewardship; 2) the lack of regulations on reservation lands to mitigate environmental effects of agriculture; 3) subsistence hunting and gathering and other traditional practices that increase exposure risk to environmental contaminants; 4) inadequate/outdated or non-existent water and wastewater treatment systems; and 5) the unequal distribution of mine and other toxic waste sites on Reservation lands. This proposal describes a Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) collaboration between Environmental Health faculty from Montana State University; the Crow Tribe's environmental, health, natural resources and agriculture directors; health and civil engineering professionals from the Indian Health Service Hospital in Crow Agency; science faculty from Little Big Horn College (LBHC) on the Crow Reservation; Big Horn County Commissioners and additional organizations and community members from the Crow Tribe. The major objective of this research is to build on an existing partnership between the University and the Crow community, including LBHC, to address environmental health hazards on the Crow Reservation, particularly in relation to the high rates of cancer in the Crow tribe and the anecdotal evidence from community members of cancer clusters that are believed to be related to poor quality water and other environmental exposures. The community will participate in every phase of the work which will involve, 1) Establishing a sampling and analysis program to adequately assess contaminant loadings to drinking waters and subsistence foods; 2) Evaluating exposure pathways and subsistence and other cultural practices that contribute to exposure risk; 3) Communicating risks to community residents and developing and providing recommendations for exposure mitigation and future monitoring.

乌鸦保护区群落暴露在高浓度的环境污染物中，通过 有很多因素。这些措施包括：1)广泛出租农地，这可能会减少 对经营者环境管理的激励；2)缺乏关于保留土地的规定以减轻 农业的环境影响；3)自给性狩猎和采集以及其他传统习俗 增加暴露于环境污染物的风险；4)水不足/过时或根本不存在 废水处理系统；5)矿场和其他有毒废物场地分布不均 保留地。 本提案描述了基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)合作 来自蒙大拿州立大学的环境健康教师；乌鸦部落的环境，健康，自然 资源和农业主管；印度卫生局的卫生和土木工程专业人员 乌鸦机构的医院；乌鸦保护区小大角学院(LBHC)的理科教员；大 霍恩县专员和其他组织以及来自乌鸦部落的社区成员。 这项研究的主要目标是建立在大学和大学之间现有的伙伴关系基础上 乌鸦社区，包括LBHC，以解决乌鸦保护区的环境健康危害， 尤其是与乌鸦部落的高癌症发病率和来自 癌症聚集区的社区成员，据信与劣质水和其他 暴露在环境中。社区将参与工作的每个阶段，这将涉及：1) 建立采样和分析计划，以充分评估饮用水中的污染物负荷 和自给食品；2)评估接触途径以及自给和其他文化习俗 促成暴露风险；3)将风险传递给社区居民，并开发和提供 关于减少暴露和未来监测的建议。
