The project describes a community based participatory research (CBPR) approach to engaging the Maine tribes in managing risks associated with environmental contamination. Each community has expressed concerns about the health of their waters and quality of their subsistence foods with particular concerns around Food Sovereignty, defined as “the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems.” Our central hypothesize is that integrating CBPR and participatory science can be used to equip tribal communities with the tools to manage and balance their risks associated with contamination of water and subsistence foods. We aim to, 1. Build capacity for participatory science amongst tribal youth by providing them the tools for sample collection and basic contaminant monitoring, with more advanced analyses conducted in the University labs; 2. Through collaborations between the Wabanaki Public Health and Wellness (WPHW), Tribal Elders and other Indigenous Knowledge Keepers; traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) around subsistence food consumption patterns and use of waterways for fishing and other activities will be documented through recordings and other media; 3. TEK will be incorporated into health risk assessments in order to support culturally appropriate risk communication and risk management strategies for affected communities. WPHW will serve as a central repository for this information, in order to ensure that it is readily accessible to all of Maine’s Tribes. The ultimate goal of this project is to provide the capacity and training within tribal communities to make informed decisions on the health of their traditional foods and waterways. This in turn will provide the foundations for a larger program that will serve the environmental health needs of Maine’s Tribal communities, while at the same time respecting and supporting food sovereignty that can be sustainable over the longer term and in the face of a rapidly changing environment.

该项目描述了一种基于社区的参与研究（CBPR）的参与方法 缅因州部落管理与环境污染相关的风险。每个 社区对水域的健康和质量表示关注 对食品主权特别关注的生存食品，定义为“ 人们可以通过生态良好的健康和适当的文化适当食物 可持续方法，以及定义自己的食物和农业系统的权利。 中心假设是集成CBPR和参与科学可用于装备 部落社区使用工具来管理和平衡与之相关的风险 水和生存食品的污染。我们的目标是1。建立参与能力 部落青年的科学通过为他们提供样本收集和基本的工具 污染物监测，在大学实验室进行了更高级的分析； 2。 通过部落的Wabanaki公共卫生与健康（WPHW）之间的合作 长者和其他土著知识饲养者；传统的生态知识（TEK） 生存食物消耗模式以及用于捕鱼和其他水道的使用 活动将通过录音和其他媒体记录； 3. Tek将合并 进行健康风险评估，以支持文化上适当的风险交流和 受影响社区的风险管理策略。 wphw将用作中央存储库 有关此信息，为了确保缅因州所有部落都可以轻松访问它。 该项目的最终目标是提供部落社区内的能力和培训 就其传统食品和水道的健康做出明智的决定。反过来将 为大型计划提供基础，该计划将满足环境健康需求 缅因州的部落社区，同时尊重和支持食品主权 从长远来看，面对迅速变化的环境，这可能是可持续的。
