Tribal hazard mitigation planning pathways
Anatomy of Good Planning
Problem, research strategy, and findings We have developed and articulate here a human-centered planning framework that adapts structured decision support to integrate cognitive analysis (head), emotional intelligence (heart), and intuitive judgment (gut). By systematizing these three dimensions, the framework draws on insights from decision science, behavioral psychology, and neuroscience to critically advance planning theory beyond rational cho…
Deciding what and how to share Indigenous knowledge online
We are Indigenous knowledge holders, herbalists, academics, and community environmental health staff who have the honor and responsibility of curating and sharing knowledge about traditional plants and medicines. Together, we created the Native Plants and Foods Curriculum Portal. This online sharing platform increases accessibility to Indigenous knowledge that is vital to the wellbeing of our environment and all those within it. In this article, …
You Say “Natural Resources,” We Say Part of Our Community Health
Background: There has long been a call for metrics that effectively evaluate Indigenous community health based on an Indigenous community’s worldviews and priorities. Indigenous definitions of health are often not considered in decision-making, which contributes to environmental pollution disproportionately impacting American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The Indigenous Health Indicators (IHIs) were established by the Swinomish Indian Tri…
Boundary spanners
The need to diversify science includes increasing both the diversity of science practitioners and the voices included in decision-making processes. Indigenous communities have been sought out to provide Indigenous knowledge to mainstream science research programs. As working across the mainstream science and community boundary is increasingly codified into the future of natural sciences, models for equitable collaboration and roles within project…
Evaluating the best available social science for natural resource management decision-making
Engage key social concepts for sustainability
Social indicators, both mature and emerging, are underused
Developing Responsive Indicators of Indigenous Community Health
How health is defined and assessed is a priority concern for Indigenous peoples due to considerable health risks faced from environmental impacts to homelands, and because what is "at risk" is often determined without their input or approval. Many health assessments by government agencies, industry, and researchers from outside the communities fail to include Indigenous definitions of health and omit basic methodological guidance on how to evalua…
Conceptualizing and operationalizing human wellbeing for ecosystem assessment and management
Community-Based Research as a Mechanism to Reduce Environmental Health Disparities in American Indian and Alaska Native Communities
Racial and ethnic minority communities, including American Indian and Alaska Natives, have been disproportionately impacted by environmental pollution and contamination. This includes siting and location of point sources of pollution, legacies of contamination of drinking and recreational water, and mining, military and agricultural impacts. As a result, both quantity and quality of culturally important subsistence resources are diminished, contr…
Conducting Research with Tribal Communities
Poisoning the body to nourish the soul
Current United States government risk assessment and management regulations fail to consider Native American definitions of health or risk. On the invitation of the Coast Salish Swinomish Indian Tribal Community of Washington State, this study examines local meanings of health in reference to seafood where contamination of their aquatic natural resources has been found. By conducting two series of interviews with Swinomish seafood consumers, expe…
Environmental Justice, American Indians and the Cultural Dilemma
Environmental justice in the tribal context cannot be contemplated apart from a recognition of American Indian tribes' unique historical, political, and legal circumstances. American Indian tribes are sovereign governments, with inherent powers of self-government over their citizens and their territories. Their status as sovereign entities predates contact with European settlers. This separate status, nonetheless, was affirmed by the United State…
