项目摘要

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式研究（CBPR）方法来吸引缅因州部落管理与环境污染相关的风险。社区对其水域健康和水质表示担忧特别关注粮食主权的自给食品，其定义为“粮食主权” 人民获得通过生态无害和生产方式生产的健康且文化适宜的食品可持续的方法，以及他们定义自己的粮食和农业系统的权利。” 核心能力在于，可以将 CBPR 和参与式科学相结合来装备部落社区拥有管理和平衡相关风险的工具我们的目标是： 1. 建设参与能力。为部落青年提供样本收集和基本知识的工具污染物监测，在大学实验室进行更先进的分析；通过 Wabanaki 公共卫生与健康 (WPHW) 之间的合作，部落长者和其他土著知识守护者；传统生态知识（TEK）围绕自给食品消费模式以及利用水道进行捕鱼和其他活动活动将通过录音和其他媒体记录下来； 3. TEK 将被纳入其中；纳入健康风险评估，以支持文化上适当的风险沟通和 WPHW 将作为受影响社区的风险管理战略的中央存储库。获取此信息，以确保缅因州的所有部落都能轻松获取这些信息。该项目的最终目标是在部落社区内提供能力和培训对其传统食物和水道的健康做出明智的决定，这反过来又会产生影响。为更大的计划奠定基础，以满足环境健康的需求缅因州的部落社区，同时尊重和支持粮食主权面对快速变化的环境，这可以是长期可持续的。
