Brief explanation of Project: Participant-Observer at the “Climate Strong! Professional Development Institute” July 7 to July 12, 2019. I will be assisting with the institute which will take place in Northern Wisconsin. It is based out of the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center in Ashland, Wisconsin. Activities will take place at the center and in the surrounding Bad River and Red Cliff tribal communities. As part of the residency, I will work closely with Cathy Techtmann, Environmental Outreach State Specialist and Professor of Community Development for the Community Development Institute at the University of Wisconsin, Division of Extension. The program is part of the “Climate Strong! Climate Leadership Initiative.” Rationale for Committee: Conducting a study with Indigenous people must take into consideration Indigenous ways. The composition of this committee includes Dr. Parajuli who is indigenous to Nepal and understands alternative philosophies and regenerative perspectives. Dr. Rice is of Mohawk and has experience working with Elders as knowledge keepers. Dr. Johns Danforth is Oneida and has worked with Wisconsin Indigenous people. These three have experience with culture and Indigenous philosophies. It is important to have members that will provide an insiders perspective. All members have experience working with teachers of science and/or social studies.
