This CAREER project undertakes the first systematic three-dimensional (3D) modeling and digital repatriation of Alaska Native cultural heritage from the Bering Strait region of Alaska. Employing innovative and collaborative modes of community engagement, the PI examines how digital 3D models of cultural heritage objects are viewed relative to the originals housed in distant museums. Working with Alaska Native partners, and museum personnel, this project will train both Midwestern community college students and Alaska Native undergraduates in the design and implementation of collaborative research, digital technologies, and 3D modeling. The project will produce the first readily available collection of 3D models of Alaska Native cultural heritage and develop a plan for providing Indigenous communities across the country with access to distant museum collections. Undergraduate students and Alaska Native interns will review the Arctic collections of the four partnering museums in preparation for an on-line workshop to select objects for 3D modeling. Following training on the use of 3D technologies for digital repatriation, student participants will conduct collections research, literature review, and ethnographic interviews. During the museum-based component of the project, selected objects will be scanned and modeled; the process will be video recorded for educational use by Indigenous organizations, museum staff, and in college courses developed by the PI. Project partners and student participants will present workshops in Alaska communities and collaboratively develop a digital exhibit of scanned objects. Working with university partners, the PI will also develop and produce a series of open-access videos that explain the basics of 3D modeling and scanning procedures. The video series will include interviews focusing on collaborative work with Indigenous communities and address ethical issues of digital heritage preservation.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.

该职业项目进行了第一个系统的三维（3D）建模和数字遣返阿拉斯加本地文化遗产，来自阿拉斯加贝林海峡地区。 PI采用了社区参与的创新和协作模式，研究了如何相对于遥远博物馆中的原始物品观看了数字3D文化遗产对象的模型。该项目与阿拉斯加土著合作伙伴和博物馆人员合作，将培训中西部社区大学生和阿拉斯加本地本科生，以设计和实施协作研究，数字技术和3D建模。该项目将制定第一个随时可用的阿拉斯加本地文化遗产模型的收藏品，并制定一项计划，以在全国范围内提供土著社区，并获得遥远的博物馆收藏。本科生和阿拉斯加本地实习生将审查四个合作博物馆的北极收藏，以准备在线研讨会，以选择用于3D建模的对象。经过有关使用3D技术进行数字遣返的培训，学生参与者将进行集合研究，文献综述和人种志访谈。在项目的基于博物馆的组件中，将扫描和建模选定的对象；该过程将记录由土著组织，博物馆工作人员以及PI开发的大学课程的视频录制。项目合作伙伴和学生参与者将在阿拉斯加社区举办研讨会，并协作开发扫描对象的数字展览。与大学合作伙伴合作，PI还将开发并制作一系列开放式视频，以解释3D建模和扫描程序的基础知识。视频系列将包括关注与土著社区的合作工作的访谈，并解决数字遗产保护的道德问题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响评估标准，认为值得通过评估来支持。
