Native communities are disproportionately affected by threats of land development (e.g., mining, logging, oil/gas pipelines) and climate change. Extreme weather events, warming waters, and rapid habitat loss reduce the ability of these communities to access, maintain, and use coastal resources such as Manoomin (Ojibwe word for wild rice). Manoomin grows in coastal wetlands, and its range has decreased considerably, making understanding, conservation, and restoration of manoomin habitat a critical challenge for the Great Lakes. Manoomin ties the physical and ecological issues of coastal wetlands to the spiritual, social, and subsistence issues of the people who have lived on these coasts, and acts as an interface between people and coastlines. This Focused Hub will develop cyber, scientific, educational, and community foundations to ensure 7th generation sustainability and resilience of the Great Lakes by bringing together tribes, government, conservationists, and researchers around Manoomin as a pillar of Ojibwe culture and livelihood, and as a keystone sentinel species for understanding and conserving Great Lakes coastal wetlands. This Focused Hub will use a holistic, transdisciplinary approach to untangle the interconnected human, coastal, and climate change issues causing region-wide manoomin decline in the Western Great Lakes. The Hub will advance scientific capacity to measure, understand, and predict changes in coastal wetland ecosystems, focusing on manoomin as a vital sentinel species. Direct partnerships with Native Nations and Communities will affirm local sovereignty over coastal land, water, and ecosystems, and inform resilience decisions at community, tribal, national, state, and regional levels. The Hub will increase coastal community capacity through community engagement, knowledge co-production, and training a new generation of scientists and leaders from currently underrepresented communities in the region. The Hub enables basic research on coastal wetlands processes across four Themes: 1) Sensing and Data Science Cyberinfrastructure will combine local and remote sensing with Data Science approaches to develop a deeper understanding of coastal wetlands. This theme will provide data to support the other Themes: 2) Physical and Environmental Processes will unravel the fundamental processes that underlie wetland systems, focusing on the combined effects of water, sediments, and contaminants in manoomin ecosystems, 3) Governance, Social, and Human Dimensions will investigate the governance systems that guide decision-making and the social and human dimensions of manoomin resilience. 4) Community Engagement, Communication, and Education will strengthen relationships between university researchers, government, tribal entities, and conservation organizations while building novel educational opportunities for Indigenous students.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.

土著社区受土地开发威胁（例如采矿，伐木，石油/天然气管道）和气候变化的影响不成比例。极端的天气事件，温暖的水和快速的栖息地损失降低了这些社区获得，维护和使用沿海资源（例如Manoomin（Ojibwe for Wild Rice））的能力。 Manoomin在沿海湿地生长，其范围已大大减少，使Manoomin栖息地的理解，保护和恢复成为大湖区的关键挑战。 Manoomin将沿海湿地的物理和生态问题与居住在这些沿海地区的人们的精神，社会和生存问题联系在一起，并充当人们与海岸线之间的界面。这个集中的枢纽将开发网络，科学，教育和社区基础，以确保大湖区的第七代可持续性和韧性，通过将部落，政府，保护主义者和研究人员汇集在一起​​，以了解Ojibwe文化和生计的支柱，并作为Keystone Sentinel物种，以理解和了解大湖沿海地区沿海地区沿海地区沿海地区。这个集中的枢纽将采用整体，跨学科的方法来解开互连的人，沿海和气候变化问题，导致西部大湖区范围内的众多人类衰落。该枢纽将提高科学能力，以测量，理解和预测沿海湿地生态系统的变化，重点是Manoomin作为至关重要的前哨物种。与土著国家和社区的直接合作伙伴关系将确认对沿海地，水和生态系统的地方主权，并在社区，部落，国家，州和地区级别为弹性决定提供弥补。该枢纽将通过社区参与，知识共同制作以及培训来自该地区当前代表性不足的社区的新一代科学家和领导者来提高沿海社区的能力。该枢纽可以对四个主题的沿海湿地过程进行基础研究：1）传感和数据科学网络基础设施将将本地和遥感与数据科学方法结合在一起，以对沿海湿地有更深入的了解。该主题将提供支持其他主题的数据：2）物理和环境过程将揭示湿地系统基础的基本过程，重点关注人类生态系统中水，沉积物和污染物的综合效果，3）治理，社会和社会和人类维度将调查指导决策的政府和人类的政治化和人类二重奏的治理系统。 4）社区参与，沟通和教育将加强大学研究人员，政府，部落实体和保护组织之间的关系，同时为土著学生建立新的教育机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
