Supporting the Next Generation of Indigenous STEM Scholars Demands Indigenous Leadership
Creating Indigenized academic spaces is important for supporting the next generation of Indigenous STEM scholars. Examples of transferable components of Indigenous research frameworks that can support the creation of inclusive STEM educational environments for diverse cohorts of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, faculty, professionals, and community members include multilogicality, relationality, and authentic engagement. However, navigatin…
Confronting colonial history
Against the backdrop of growing concerns for environmental and social justice, interest in developing effective strategies that support social and ecological resilience and recovery are mounting. To pursue these strategies requires cultivating a shared understanding of the full scope of settler colonial legacies that continue to impede justice efforts in conservation and environmentalism more broadly. However, although decolonial resources are gr…
Shifting Power in Practice
Elevating Indigenous leadership in conservation science is critical for social and ecological wellbeing. However, Indigenous knowledges are frequently undermined by persistent colonial research standards. In response, calls to implement ethical guidelines that advance Indigenous research and data governance are mounting. Despite this growing movement, most environmental studies continue to follow largely colonial, extractive models, presenting a …
A values-centered relational science model
Addressing complex social-ecological issues requires all relevant sources of knowledge and data, especially those held by communities who remain close to the land. Centuries of oppression, extractive research practices, and misrepresentation have hindered balanced knowledge exchange with Indigenous communities and inhibited innovation and problem-solving capacity in all scientific fields. A recent shift in the research landscape reflects a growin…
Global impacts of extractive and industrial development projects on Indigenous Peoples’ lifeways, lands, and rights
To what extent do extractive and industrial development pressures affect Indigenous Peoples’ lifeways, lands, and rights globally? We analyze 3081 environmental conflicts over development projects to quantify Indigenous Peoples’ exposure to 11 reported social-environmental impacts jeopardizing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous Peoples are affected in at least 34% of all documented environmental conflic…
Centering Equity in the Nation's Weather, Water, and Climate Services
Water, weather, and climate affect everyone. However, their impacts on various communities can be very different based on who has access to essential services and environmental knowledge. Structural discrimination, including racism and other forms of privileging and exclusion, affects people's lives and health, with ripples across all sectors of society. In the United States, the need to equitably provide weather, water, and climate services is u…
Scientists' Warning to Humanity on Threats to Indigenous and Local Knowledge Systems
The knowledge systems and practices of Indigenous Peoples and local communities play critical roles in safeguarding the biological and cultural diversity of our planet. Globalization, government policies, capitalism, colonialism, and other rapid social-ecological changes threaten the relationships between Indigenous Peoples and local communities and their environments, thereby challenging the continuity and dynamism of Indigenous and Local Knowle…
Community-based (rooted) research for regeneration
For researchers and educators working to engage Indigenous knowledges, colonial legacies, including assimilation-driven education curriculum, form challenging and complex pathways to navigate. To address such legacies and support Indigenous education efforts, we developed a participatory research model exploring benefits, barriers, and resources for engaging Indigenous knowledges in science education and research. This article details methods and…
A global assessment of Indigenous community engagement in climate research
For millennia Indigenous communities worldwide have maintained diverse knowledge systems informed through careful observation of dynamics of environmental changes. Although Indigenous communities and their knowledge systems are recognized as critical resources for understanding and adapting to climate change, no comprehensive, evidence-based analysis has been conducted into how environmental studies engage Indigenous communities. Here we provide …
