This project generates new ways of remixing Western and Indigenous knowledge systems to support Tribal sovereignty in river management and informs protocols for building and sharing knowledge to guide river restoration practice. The team--comprising Karuk cultural practitioners, Karuk Tribal agency staff, and non-Karuk academic researchers--will design, participate in, and evaluate an intervention into river governance to develop a plan to restore the river. The team will also interview Native and non-Native natural resource scientists to investigate how Karuk-led and Western-science-led approaches to riverscape planning. The study will be attentive to the differing ways of knowing and decision-making and how they interact with each other. Findings will be presented in a public forums and workshops as well as K-12 curriculum materials. The research will inform pressing debates about who should guide, fund, and benefit from ongoing Klamath River restoration once dam removal is complete and be of interest to policy makers, educators, citizens, and researchers. This project will weave together science and technology studies (STS), critical physical geography (CPG), and Indigenous studies to contribute to reparative approaches for Indigenous-led and place-based river restoration theory and practice. By mapping field research projects with intergenerational knowledge exchanges between Native youth and elders and interviews with Native and non-Native natural resource scientists the project will investigate how Karuk-led and Western-science-led approaches to riverscape planning may conflict with and complement each other due to differing epistemologies and governance structures. It will focus on Karuk knowledge-making practices that integrate geospatial, and ethnographic data with place-based understandings of ecological processes. The team--comprising Karuk cultural practitioners, Karuk Tribal agency staff, and non Karuk academic researchers--will design, participate in, and evaluate an intervention into river governance to develop a riverscape restoration plan. The work will culminate in public presentations of findings and analysis of broader river governance processes that implement and maintain a community focused restoration plan. Co-funding for this award is being provided by Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) program one of NSF's 10 Big Ideas. NNA supports projects that address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic, empower new research partnerships, diversify the next generation of Arctic researchers, enhance efforts in formal and informal education, and integrate the co-production of knowledge where appropriate. This award aligns with those goals.Additional co-funding of this award is provided by EcoSystem Science, Geomorphology and Land Use Dynamics, Hydrological Sciences Program and Science of Broadening Participation.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.

该项目产生了新的方式，将西方和土著知识系统混合在一起，以支持河流管理中的部落主权，并为建立和共享知识的协议提供指导河流恢复实践的协议。团队合作的Karuk文化从业人员，Karuk部落机构工作人员和非Karuk学术研究人员 - 将设计，参与并评估对河流治理的干预，以制定恢复河流的计划。该团队还将采访本地和非本地自然资源科学家，以调查如何通过Karuk领导的和西方科学领导的河流播种方法。这项研究将专注于了解和决策的不同方式以及它们如何相互作用。调查结果将在公共论坛和研讨会以及K-12课程材料中提出。这项研究将为关于谁应该指导，资助和受益于持续的克拉马斯河修复的媒体辩论，一旦大坝的拆除完成，政策制定者，教育者，公民和研究人员都感兴趣。该项目将编织科学技术研究（STS），批判物理地理（CPG）和土著研究，以促进原住民领导和基于地点的河流恢复理论和实践的修复方法。通过将现场知识交流的现场研究项目映射到本地青年和长者之间，并与本地和非本地自然资源科学家进行访谈，该项目将调查卡鲁克领导的和西方科学领导的河流规划方法如何相互冲突并相互补充由于认识论和治理结构不同。 它将着重于将地理空间和民族志数据整合的Karuk知识练习与基于位置的生态过程的理解。团队合作的Karuk文化从业人员，Karuk部落机构工作人员和非Karuk学术研究人员将设计，参与并评估干预河流治理以制定Riverscape恢复计划。 这项工作将在公开介绍和分析更广泛的河流治理过程的公开介绍中，这些过程实施和维护社区以社区为中心的恢复计划。 通过浏览新的北极（NNA）计划，为此奖项提供了共同的资金。 NNA支持在迅速变化的北极，赋予新的研究伙伴关系，使下一代北极研究人员多样化，加强正规和非正式教育方面的努力以及在适当的情况下整合知识的项目。该奖项与这些目标相吻合。该奖项的Additional共同资助由生态系统科学，地貌和土地使用动态，水文科学计划和扩大参与科学提供。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估值得评估。利用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响审查标准。
