蒙大拿州Apsaálooke（克劳族）的人们一直非常尊重水。部落成员质疑河流和井水的健康状况，因为水质明显恶化，而且可能与社区疾病有关。社区成员发起了当地组织、部落和学术伙伴之间的合作，产生了真正基于社区的参与性研究。这篇文章分享了我们作为部落成员和研究人员在共同努力检查地表水和地下水污染物、评估暴露途径和利用我们的数据改善我们人民和水的健康方面的经验。
Water has always been held in high respect by the Apsaálooke (Crow) people of Montana. Tribal members questioned the health of the rivers and well water due to visible water quality deterioration and potential connections to illnesses in the community. Community members initiated collaboration among local organizations, the Tribe and academic partners, resulting in genuine community based participatory research. The article shares what we have learned as tribal members and researchers about working together to examine surface and groundwater contaminants, assess routes of exposure and use our data to bring about improved health of our people and our waters.
