SUMMARY:Community-University Partnerships to Assess Exposures and Risk Perceptions of Diné Communities following the Gold King Mine Spill
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 27\, 2020 \n4:30-6:30 pm \nLa Kretz Garden Pavilion \nRSVP: http://bit.ly/KarlettaChief \nIntersections of AIS & STEM presents “Community-University Partnerships to Assess Exposures and Risk Perceptions of Diné Communities following the Gold King Mine Spill\,” a talk by Dr. Karletta Chief (Diné). \nOn August 5\, 2015\, 3 million gallons of acid mine drainage was released from the Gold King Mine\, eventually reaching the San Juan River – the lifeblood of the Navajo Nation. In this talk\, Dr. Karletta Chief will discuss ways to build community and university partnerships to quickly develop and implement a community-based risk assessment in environmental disasters. Central to this effort has been the development of a network of Diné community partners from the affected chapters that have guided the university researchers in designing and implementing a culturally appropriate study that addresses the community’s concerns. A key focus has been on building capacity for assessing environmental exposures through training of Diné tribal college students\, environmental interns\, and community health representatives. To date nearly a hundred students (half Diné) and 25 community members have collaborated and participated in data collection\, interpretation\, and dissemination. Given the potential for future catastrophic mine spills in the Western United States\, findings will be used to develop a model of community capacity-building aimed at empowering affected communities to collect samples\, minimize impacts\, and engage in informed-decision making. \nDr. Karletta Chief (Diné) is an Associate Professor and Specialist in Soil\, Water\, and Environmental Sciences at the University of Arizona (UA). Her research focuses on understanding\, tools\, and predictions of watershed hydrology\, unsaturated flow in arid environments\, and how natural and human disturbances impact water resources. As an extension specialist\, she works to bring relevant science to Native American communities in a culturally sensitive manner by providing hydrology expertise\, transferring knowledge\, assessing information needs\, and developing applied science projects. Dr. Chief is a member of a national climate change network of indigenous and non-indigenous scientists. Two of her primary tribal projects are The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe Climate Adaptation and Traditional Knowledge and The Navajo Nation Gold King Mine Spill Impacts. Dr. Chief is the PI of the National Science Foundation Training Track “Indigenous Food\, Energy\, and Water Security and Sovereignty” where 12 graduate trainees are learning FEWS skills and how to work with indigenous communities. Dr. Chief is Diné from Black Mesa\, AZ and was raised without electricity or running water. She is a first generation college graduate. Dr. Chief received a B.S. and M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Stanford University in 1998 and 2000 and a Ph.D. in Hydrology and Water Resources from UA in 2007. She completed her post-doctorate at Desert Research Institute in Las Vegas\, NV. In 2011\, Dr. Chief was named American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) Most Promising Scientist/Scholar\, 2013 Stanford University Distinguished Alumni Scholar award\, 2015 Native American 40 under 40\, 2016 AISES Professional of the Year\, and 2016 Phoenix Indian Center Woman of the Year. \nIntersections of AIS & STEM is an event series highlighting the science of Indigenous knowledges. Organized by the UCLA American Indian Studies IDP. Co-sponsored by the UCLA American Indian Studies Center. \n

SUMMARY:Wrangling the Whole System”: Educational and Linguistic Sovereignty at Standing Rock\,
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 2\, 2020 \n12 PM – 1:30 PM \n3340 Moore Hall \nIn recent decades\, Native communities have been dedicating time\, energy and resources to maintaining\, reclaiming\, and revitalizing their languages. Much of this work happens in educational contexts which have been found in and are the mechanisms for colonial assimilation policies that caused language loss. Native communities are finding innovative ways to use existing educational contexts to forward their language goals. This talk will examine how one rural reservation community\, Standing Rock\, engages in such anti-colonial practices so that the Indigenous language is strengthened in schools. The presentation demonstrates the ways in which Standing Rock wrangles with an entire educational system to ensure Lakota/Dakota language is carried on for future generations. \n\nTasha R. Hauff\, PhD\, (Mnikowozu Lakhota) is a University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California\, Los Angeles. Her research\, teaching\, and outreach focus on Indigenous language education and tribal sovereignty. In addition to her research\, she contributes to the urgent project of community language revitalization\, primarily on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.

SUMMARY:Díi Hlanggwáay tla k_íiya 'la áaygaagang: Fostering Inclusive Geoscience Research & Education Practices
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 19\, 2020\n12–1:30 PM\nRolfe 2125\nRSVP: http://bit.ly/WendySmythe \nIntersections of AIS & STEM presents “Fostering Inclusive Geoscience Research & Education Practices\,” a talk by Dr. Wendy Smythe\, who has worked over the last 12 years to couple Traditional Knowledge (TK) with Geoscience Research and Education to increase the number of Native students in STEM and computer science by developing a culturally focused science curriculum that integrates Indigenous language\, culture and protocol. In this talk\, she will discuss how integrating TK into STEM allows for researchers to better observe ecosystems from a holistic view\, and how TK can help to empower future generations of Native scholars. \nWendy Smythe\, Ph.D. is Alaska Native Haida from Hydaburg\, Alaska. Her Haida name is K’ah Skaahluwaa (laughing lady)\, from the Xáadas (Haida) clan of Sdast’ aas (Fish egg house).

SUMMARY:Dr. Manu Karuka Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, January 13\, 2020 \n3:00 PM – 4:30 PM PST \n  \nCharles E. Young Research Library\, Main Conference Room \n280 Charles E Young Drive North \nLos Angeles\, CA 90095 \n  \nIn this talk\, Dr. Manu Karuka will give an overview of his new book\, Empire’s Tracks: Indigenous Nations\, Chinese Workers\, and the Transcontinental Railroad (University of California Press\, 2019). Empire’s Tracks boldly reframes the history of the transcontinental railroad from the perspectives of the Cheyenne\, Lakota\, and Pawnee Native American tribes\, and the Chinese migrants who toiled on its path. In this meticulously researched book\, Karuka situates the railroad within the violent global histories of colonialism and capitalism. Through an examination of legislative\, military\, and business records\, Karuka deftly explains the imperial foundations of U.S. political economy. Tracing the shared paths of Indigenous and Asian American histories\, this multi-sited interdisciplinary study connects military occupation to exclusionary border policies\, a linked chain spanning the heart of U.S. imperialism. \n
