TRIBAL COLL & UNIV PROGRAM

NURSING ASSISTANT AND HOME HEALTH AIDE PROGRAM

CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTION - TRIBAL LIAISON

THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF OUR PROGRAM IS TO PROMOTE AND EDUCATE THE NATIVE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, SPECIFICALLY THE YOUTH, WITH NUTRITIONAL OPTIONS THAT COINCIDE WITH THE LOCAL NATURAL INDIGENOUS FOOD SOURCES AND THE TRADITIONAL FORMS OF FOOD PREPARATION BASED ON TRIBAL KNOWLEDGE. THIS WILL BE BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AS INDICATED IN THE 2015 COMMUNITY FOOD ASSESSMENT.IN ADDITION THE PROGRAM WILL FOCUS ON INCREASING BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT SKILLS OF LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS, BY OFFERING TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES AND A LOCATION FOR SMALL MICRO-BUSINESSES TO CONDUCT THEIR DAY TO DAY BUSINESS OPERATIONS BY DESIGNATING AN AREA THAT CAN BE RESERVED AND UTILIZED SPECIFICALLY FOR, INTERNET SERVICES, PRINTING, TELEPHONE/FAX AND A COMPUTER. THE CURRENT SUCCESS RATE FOR SMALL MICRO-BUSINESSES ON THE RESERVATION IS LOW BECAUSE OF A LACK OF RESOURCES. MANY OF THESE MICRO-BUSINESSES HAVE A SKILL SUCH AS CARPENTRY, BEADING OR COOKING, HOWEVER THEY LACK THE BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE AND OVERHEAD TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

THE LONG-TERM GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ADDRESS THE DRUG ABUSE EPIDEMIC ON THE MENOMINEE INDIAN RESERVATION AS IT PERTAINS TO TEENAGERS AND THEIR MENTAL HEALTH. THE MENOMINEE TRIBAL LEGISLATURE DECLARED A PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY ON APRIL 13, 2022, AS A RESULT OF THE OPIOID ADDICTION CRISIS. YOUNG PEOPLE ON THE RESERVATION ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY BECAUSE OF THIS, AND THERE IS A DIRECT NEED FOR COLLABORATION AND RESOURCES. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO PROVIDE RESOURCES DIRECTLY TO TEENS. THE MOST NOTICEABLE IMPACT WILL BE THE INCREASE IN TEENAGERS HAVING A VOICE AND THE STRENGTHENING OF SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILL SETS TO OVERCOME PERSONAL CHALLENGES. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO SERVE THE COMMUNITIES OF KESHENA AND NEOPIT. CURRICULUM TO BE UTILIZED WILL BE TEEN MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AIDE, DISCOVERY DATING, AND TRAUMA INFORMED CARE.THIS PROJECT ALIGNS WITH THE CYFAR PROGRAM GOALS BY GIVING TEENS THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIOR NECESSARY FOR FULFILLING AND CONTRIBUTING LIVES. THE PROJECTWILL ASSIST IN PROVIDING A SAFE NON-JUDGMENTAL PLACE FOR TEENS TO SHARE WITH THEIR PEERS AND WORK ON THEIR MENTAL HEALTH AND DECISION-MAKING SKILLS.THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE TOOLS AND VITAL RESOURCES TO TEENS THAT CAN BE SHARED IN THE COMMUNITY WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. BY THE END OF THE PROJECT WE PROPOSE TO HAVE AT LEAST 100 YOUNG PEOPLE TRAINED IN MENTAL HEALTH WITH THE ABILITY TO INCORPORATE IT INTO THE COMMUNITIES THEY ARE LOOKING TO SERVE.

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THE LONG-TERM GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO INCREASE HEALTH AND WELLNESS AMONG INDIGENOUS PEOPLE BY INCREASING LOCAL FOOD PRODUCTION AND AVAILABILITY, SPECIFICALLY BY RENEWING AND SUPPORTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH TRADITIONAL TYPES OF FLINT AND FLOUR CORN. CMN AIMS TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL WITH A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT ACROSS THE NORTHERN STATES FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO VERMONT IN COLLABORATION WITH MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT, GRAND VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY, LITTLE TRAVERSE BAY BAND, AND OTHER REGIONAL PARTNERS. WE WILL EVALUATE THE AGRONOMIC, FLAVOR, AND NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FLINT CORN VARIETIES FROM THE USDA COLLECTION. WE WILL ATTEMPT TO RESCUE THE REMAINING SEEDS OF MENOMINEE FLINT CORN, AND WILL ASSESS THE EFFECTS OF A TRADITIONAL CORN MEDICINE. WE WILL ALSO REACH OUT TO THE PUBLIC WITH PARTICIPATORY VARIETY EVALUATIONS, VIDEOS, TOURS, SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS, A CORN CLUB MANUAL, PRESENTATIONS, A WEBINAR, AND A SCIENTIFIC PAPER ABOUT FLINT CORN VARIETIES AND THEIRQUALITIES.

AQUACULTURE IS THE FASTEST-GROWING FOOD PRODUCTION INDUSTRY, SUPPLYING OVER HALF OF THE FISH CONSUMED BY HUMANS. FISH ARE RICH IN PROTEIN, VITAMINS, AND OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS, WHICH HELP REDUCE THE RISKS OF HEART DISEASE AND STROKES. TO SUPPORT THE USDA'S STRATEGIC GOAL OF PROVIDING ALL AMERICANS WITH SAFE, NUTRITIOUS FOOD, THERE IS A CURRENT FOCUS ON REPLACING FISH OIL WITH PLANT OILS IN AQUAFEEDS TO LOWER COSTS AND REDUCE DEPENDENCE ON FISH OIL. HOWEVER, PLANT OILS LACK ESSENTIAL OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS, SUCH AS EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID (EPA) AND DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID (DHA), WHICH NECESSITATES A CLOSER LOOK AT FATTY ACID NEEDS IN FISH DIETS.WALLEYE (SANDER VITREUS) IS INCREASINGLY VALUED IN THE MIDWEST FOR ITS COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL AND HIGH MARKET PRICES ($46.2/KG FOR SKINLESS FILLETS). THE GROWING INTEREST IN WALLEYE CULTURE ALIGNS WITH THE USDA'S GOAL TO EXPAND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN RURAL COMMUNITIES. ALTHOUGH RESEARCH HAS ADDRESSED FISH OIL REPLACEMENT WITH VEGETABLE OIL, SPECIFIC DATA ON OPTIMAL FATTY ACID LEVELS FOR WALLEYE ARE STILL NEEDED FOR BALANCED, COST-EFFECTIVE FEED FORMULATIONS.THIS RESEARCH AIMS TO IDENTIFY THE IDEAL LEVELS OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS FOR WALLEYE THROUGH TWO GROWTH TRIALS FOCUSING ON Α-LINOLENIC ACID (ALA) AND EPA & DHA. THE PROJECT WILL COMPREHENSIVELY EVALUATE GROWTH AND BIOCHEMICAL RESPONSES AND DISSEMINATE FINDINGS THROUGH PRESENTATIONS, TECHNICAL REPORTS, AND PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS EFFORT WILL SUPPORT BOTH THE USDA'S GOALS.

THIS PROJECT IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN A GROWING COMMUNITY-WIDE INTEREST AMONG LOCAL GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS, TRIBAL GOVERNMENT, AND INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY PRACTITIONERS TO RECLAIM MENOMINEE CULTURE, FOOD SOVEREIGNTY, AND COMMUNITY WELLBEING USING THE AGRICULTURAL TECHNIQUES OF OUR ANCESTORS. A DRAFT STATEMENT FROM CMN DESCRIBES FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AS LIVING OUR TRADITIONAL MENOMINEE WAYS, IDENTITY, VALUES AND RELATIONSHIPS TO PROVIDE A TRIBALLY SUSTAINED COMMUNITY FOOD SYSTEM FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THIS PROJECT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR PEOPLE AND OTHERS, TODAY AND INTO THE FUTURE. THEREFORE, WITH CMN'S ROLE AS A NATION BUILDER, BOTH WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY AND AS CONNECTED THROUGH THE TCU NETWORK, WE WILL WORK TO DEVELOP A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF OUR ANCESTRAL FOOD PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES AND TO DETERMINE THEIR RELEVANCE IN ADDRESSING THE FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AND SUSTAINABILITY CONCERNS OF OUR COMMUNITY TODAY. THIS WILL BECOME OUR AREA OF EXPERTISE. THIS MIXED METHODS RESEARCH IS DESIGNED AS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON AND THE MENOMINEE TRIBE'S HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE. THE LONG-TERM GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ADVANCE A COMMUNITY-BASED SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AGENDA, ESTABLISHING CMN AS A LEADER IN TRIBAL FOOD SYSTEMS THROUGH ESTABLISHMENT OF OUR AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH STATION. THROUGH THIS PROJECT, CMN ANTICIPATES THE FOLLOWING IMMEDIATE OUTCOMES:1. THE PROJECT STAFF AND STUDENT INTERNS WILL HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE CROPS GROWN IN THE ANCIENT RAISED BED GARDENS, HOW THESE GARDENS WERE ESTABLISHED, WHY THESE GARDENING METHODS WERE CHOSEN, AND HOW WELL THEY SCALE UP FOR FOOD PRODUCTION TODAY.2. THE PROJECT STAFF AND STUDENT INTERNS WILL IMPROVE THEIR RESEARCH AND OUTREACH SKILLS THROUGH THIS COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH UW-MADISON, LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, AND SEVERAL PROJECT CONSULTANTS.3. THE PROJECT STAFF AND STUDENT INTERNS WILL GAIN GREATER FAMILIARITY WITH OUR LOCAL FOOD SYSTEM, AND THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND PROGRAMS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.4. CMN WILL FORMALLY ESTABLISH OUR AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH STATION AROUND OUR AREA OF EXPERTISE.

PROJECT CRISE: CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE INCLUSIVE SPECIAL EDUCATORS

THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE (SDI) HAS BEEN A PART OF THE COLLEGE OF MENOMINEE NATION SINCE INCEPTION IN THE EARLY 90'S. EARLY SDI WORK INCLUDED SUPPORT FOR FACULTY DEVELOPMENT AND GUIDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RESEARCH AGENDA BASED ON THE MENOMINEE THEORETICAL MODEL OF SUSTAINABILITY (MTMS). THIS PROPOSAL BUILDS ON THAT HISTORY AND RECENT WORK THROUGH THE FOLLOWING THREE GOALS: 1) PROVIDE A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE MTMS AND ITS APPLICATION IN DIFFERENT SPHERES OF INFLUENCE (EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND OUTREACH) AS A MEANS TO ENGAGE FACULTY AND STUDENTS ON TOPICS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY, AND HUMAN-ENVIRONMENTAL RELATIONSHIPS; 2) DEVELOP REGIONAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS FOR ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES BETWEEN CMN FACULTY AND STUDENTS WITH OTHER INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND INSTITUTIONS; AND 3) DEVELOP A PROGRAM EVALUATION FOR PROPOSED FACULTY AND STUDENT DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES THAT ALIGN WITH CMN PROGRAM REVIEW PROCESSES AND SDI STAKEHOLDERENGAGEMENT PLAN. WE BELIEVE THESE ACTIVITIES WILL ASSIST OUR CMN FACULTY IN THEIR ENGAGEMENT WITH STUDENTS, DEVELOPING DEEPER CONNECTIONS TO INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE THROUGH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND COURSE DELIVERY AND HELP CMN SDI ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING OF THE MTMS. WE SEEK TO SHARE WHAT WE LEARN LOCALLY, REGIONALLY, NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY THROUGH EXISTING AND DEVELOPING PARTNERSHIPS, AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FACULTY AND STUDENTS TO LEARN ABOUT OTHER INDIGENOUS MODELS OF SUSTAINABILITY AS PART OF THEIR CURRICULAR WORK AND FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THE PURPOSE OF BUILDING A NORTHERN FRUIT CONSORTIUM IS TO INCREASE HEALTH AND WELLNESS AMONG INDIGENOUS PEOPLE BY INCREASING LOCAL FRUIT PRODUCTION AND AVAILABILITY. CMN AND OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS AIM TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL THROUGH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A COLLABORATIVE AND PARTICIPATORY FRUIT EVALUATION EFFORT ACROSS THE NORTHERN STATES FROM NORTH DAKOTA TO VERMONT. OUR TEAM WILL INCLUDE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, TRIBAL AGENCY STAFF MEMBERS, AND TRIBAL COLLEGE STUDENTS AND FACULTY FROM THE MENOMINEE, ONEIDA, MOHICAN, HO CHUNK, OJIBWE, DAKOTA, AND ABENAKI NATIONS. THE PROJECT IS A PILOT STUDY TO DETERMINE WHETHER PARTICIPATORY PLANT BREEDING METHODS WILL BE A GOOD FIT FOR TRIBAL COLLEGES AND TRIBAL COMMUNITIES AS WE LOOK FOR IMPROVED VARIETIES ADAPTED TO OUR LOCATIONS TO BOOST LOCAL FOOD PRODUCTION. OUR SPECIES OF INTEREST IS WILD PLUM, A TRADITIONAL SPECIES OF INTEREST AMONG SOME INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES, AND ONE THAT COULD BE GROWN RAPIDLY IN MANY PLACES TO INCREASE LOCAL FRUIT AVAILABILITY AND TO IMPROVE DIETS. WE WILL ESTABLISH HUNDREDS OF SEEDLING PLUMS AND TREES OF A CHECK VARIETY IN RESEARCH PLOTS AMONG COLLABORATING COMMUNITY MEMBERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INSITUTIONS TO SET UP A FOLLOW UP PROJECT TO EVALUATE THE FRUIT FROM THESE TREES ONCE THEY ARE MATURE. STUDENT INTERNS WILL ASSIST OTHER TEAM MEMBERS TO ESTABLISH THESE RESEARCH PLOTS, TO LEARN ABOUT EXTENSION AND RESEARCH IN SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC, AND TO COMMUNICATE OUR EXPERIENCES WIDELY. WE WILL ALSO TEAM WITH COMMUNITY EXPERTS, USDA EXPERTS, LAND GRANT EXPERTS, AND AN INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATORY PLANT BREEDING EXPERT TO SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT TRADITIONAL USES OF PLUM, PLUM BIOLOGY, PLUM BREEDING, AND ORGANIC METHODS FOR FRUIT PRODUCTION AMONG TEAM MEMBERS AS WE PREPARE FOR MORE LOCAL FRUIT PRODUCTION TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELLNESS AMONG THE PEOPLE OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND BEYOND.

THE PROPOSED PROJECT TITLED, LAYING THE FOUNDATION OF A SUSTAINABLE INDIGENOUS FOOD SYSTEM WILL ENHANCE THE MISSION OF THE COLLEGE OF MENOMINEE NATION (CMN)-SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE (SDI) BY ADVANCING INDIGENOUS FOOD SYSTEMS, TRIBAL FOOD SOVEREIGNTY, AND NATIVE AMERICAN STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN STEM-BASED EDUCATION AND CAREERS THROUGH COMMUNITY-CENTERED AND CULTURALLY-RELEVANT APPLIED AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH IN FOOD PRODUCTION. BUILDING UPON PREVIOUS RESEARCH AND GUIDED BY THE MENOMINEE ARCHEOLOGICAL RECORD, THIS PROJECT WILL EMPHASIZE STUDENT, YOUTH AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT TO: 1) DESIGN AND CONDUCT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF TRADITIONAL MENOMINEE AGRICULTURAL TECHNIQUES, INCLUDING RAISED BED GARDENS, ON BEAR ISLAND FLINT CORN PRODUCTION, CORN NUTRITIONAL DENSITY, AND SOIL HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY; 2) IDENTIFY SUCCESSFUL TRADITIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY FLINT CORN DRYING AND STORAGE TECHNIQUES, 3) EXPLORE THE USE OF FLINT CORN IN CONTEMPORARY RECIPES AND DIETS; 4) SCREEN VARIETIES OF CORN AND OTHER CROPS FOR LOCAL ADAPTATION, 5) DEVELOP FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENT AND YOUTH LEADERS THROUGH ONE-ON-ONE MENTORING AND JOB SHADOWING OPPORTUNITIES, AS WELL AS THE EMPLOYMENT OF A TEAM-BASED APPROACH TO DESIGNING, IMPLEMENTING, AND COMPLETING RESEARCH AND OUTREACH OBJECTIVES; AND 6) PROMOTE CULTURAL-BASED, AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE EDUCATION TO CMN STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF, MENOMINEE YOUTH, AND INTERESTED COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH SUMMER STEM WORKSHOPS EMPHASIZING THE INTEGRATION OF TRADITIONAL AND SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURAL KNOWLEDGE, SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH DESIGN, EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS, AND CAREER EXPLORATION.

SUSTAINABLE ORGANIC AGRICULTURE - A MENOMINEE LEGACY

EMBRACE-EAR-SEED: WEAVING WESTERN GEOSCIENCE WITH INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE IN TIMES OF CLIMATE CHANGE: LAKE CORES AND ECOCULTURAL CALENDARS THROUGH THE HOLOCENE -THE COLLEGE OF MENOMINEE NATION, MENOMINEE TRIBAL ENTERPRISES, AND THE CONTINENTAL SCIENTIFIC DRILLING FACILITY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA AIM TO DEVELOP A VEGETATIVE AND FIRE TIMELINE OF THE PAST REGIONAL AND SEASONAL CLIMATE WITHIN MENOMINEE ANCESTRAL HOMELANDS (UPPER GREAT LAKES, USA) BY BUILDING RESEARCH CAPACITY TO SAMPLE AND ANALYZE LAKE CORES AT A TRIBAL COLLEGE. LAKE SEDIMENT CORING IS A VALUABLE SCIENTIFIC TECHNIQUE EMPLOYED TO UNRAVEL THE ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY AND GEOLOGIC EVOLUTION OF LAKES AND THEIR SURROUNDING LANDSCAPES. IN MENOMINEE ANCESTRAL LANDS, LAKE CORES CAN PROVIDE A WINDOW THROUGH TIME BACK TO GLACIATION AND THROUGHOUT THE HOLOCENE (~12,000 YEARS)?WITH SIGNATURES OF PAST CLIMATE AND WATER REGIMES, THE FOREST AND SPECIES COMPOSITION, AND ADAPTATIONS OVER TIMES. FOR MENOMINEE LIVING ON ANCESTRAL LANDS CONTINUOUSLY SINCE THE LAST GLACIATION, THE LANDSCAPE AND ASSOCIATED INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE (IK) HOLD AN INTRICATE PORTFOLIO OF LIFEWAYS PRACTICED THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD (INCLUDING A HISTORY OF INDIGENOUS FIRE, FOOD, FOREST, AND SPECIES MANAGEMENT). BY BUILDING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH CAPACITY AT TRIBAL COLLEGES, THIS PROJECT PROVIDES TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE FOR RESEARCH DONE BY AND FOR TRIBES IN CLIMATE SCIENCE. PROJECT PARTICIPANTS WILL BECOME TRAINED IN CORING; CORE DESCRIPTION; SUB-SAMPLING; AND CHARCOAL ANALYSIS. THE PROJECT WILL EMPLOY A CORE BARREL SYSTEM TO COLLECT SEDIMENT SAMPLES FROM THE LAKE BOTTOM?USING THE MANUAL CORING DEVICE TO RETRIEVE THE SEDIMENT CORES. CORES ARE CAPPED, LABELED, AND STORED IN A TEMPERATURE- CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. THE CORE WILL BE ANALYZED FOR AN INITIAL CORE DESCRIPTION TO CHARACTERIZE SEDIMENT LAYERING WITH BOTH MACROSOPIC AND MICROSCOPIC FEATURES?PARTICULARLY POLLEN AND CHARCOAL. THIS PROCESS INCLUDES COLLECTING GEOPHYSICAL DATA ON THE GEOTEK MULTISENSOR CORE LOGGER (MSCL-S) WITH IMAGES AT 200 PIXELS/CM TO SEE SEDIMENT LAYERING. WE ALSO BEGIN TO ENGAGE IN A COMMUNITY-ENGAGED RESEARCH FRAMEWORK IN ECOCULTURAL CALENDARS TO SEE HOW INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE AND WESTERN SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO INFORM ADAPTATION AND MANAGEMENT DECISION-MAKING TO CLIMATE CHANGE(S). THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

IT PROPOSES TO DO SO THROUGH INTERACTION OF TRIBAL ELDERS, MENOMINEE LANGUAGE INSTRUCTORS, COLLEGE OF MENOMINEE NATION (CMN) STAFF, MENOMINEE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND A CMN INTERN. BRANDON FRECHETTE, YOUTH PROGRAM COORDINATOR AT CMN WILL BE PROJECT DIRECTOR. MR. FRECHETTE WILL MANAGE THE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM. THE MENOMINEE LANGUAGE IS IN A PRECARIOUS STATE WHERE LESS THAN .001% OF THE TRIBE'S 9500 MEMBERS ARE FIRST LANGUAGE SPEAKERS. THESE TEACHINGS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR MENOMINEE YOUTH WHO STRUGGLE WITH UNDERSTANDING THEIR PERSONAL AND CULTURAL IDENTITIES. UNDERSTANDING PERSONAL IDENTITY IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF GROWTH FOR YOUNG MENOMINEE YOUTH AND WILL HELP THEM UNDERSTAND THEIR PLACE IN LIFE AND WHAT CAREER CHOICES FIT THEM WELL. THIS WILL LEAD TO A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE.

YOUTH HERITAGE PROGRAM

CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS RANGE ACROSS ALL SIX DIMENSIONS OF THE MENOMINEE THEORETICAL MODEL OF SUSTAINABILITY (LAND & SOVEREIGNTY, NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, TECHNOLOGY, INSTITUTIONS, ECONOMICS, AND HUMAN, PERCEPTION, ACTIVITY AND BEHAVIOR) INCLUDING DIRECT IMPACTS ON THE DEEP-ROOTED CONNECTION BETWEEN THE LAND AND THE PEOPLE, SIGNIFIED BY NAMES SUCH AS MAEQTEKUAHKIHKIW KEW KAN?HWIHTAHQUAQ ("THE FOREST KEEPERS"). THE SHIFTING SEASONS AND CHANGING PHENOLOGY STAND AS A DIRECT THREAT TO THOUSANDS-OF-YEAR-OLD CULTURAL RELATIONSHIPS. IN ADDITION, CONTEMPORARY UNDERSTANDING AND USE OF RELATIONSHIPS ARE THREATENED. THE LONG-TERM GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE FORESTS AND LIVELIHOODS OF THE MENOMINEE NATION. THE PROJECT HAS THREE OVERARCHING AIMS: 1) CONDUCT RELEVANT, PRACTICAL RESEARCH THAT CAN PROVIDE INDICATORS OF FOREST RESPONSES TO CLIMATE CHANGE 2) BUILD RESEARCH CAPACITY AT CMN THROUGH TRAINING OF STUDENT INTERNS; 3) ENGAGE THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, THE COLLEGE COMMUNITY, AND THE REGIONAL TRIBAL COMMUNITY. WE BUILD ON RESULTS FROM TWO PROJECTS FUNDED BY USDA NIFA TCRGP THROUGH THE RECENSUS OF THREE 1-HA FOREST DYNAMICS PLOTS AND THE CONTINUATION OF A TIME SERIES OF GROUND-LAYER PLANT PHENOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WOULD CONTINUE TO ANCHOR FOREST RESEARCH TO THREE 1-HECTARE MONITORING PLOTS THAT REPRESENT A LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO DEVELOP AND PROVIDE RELEVANT RESEARCH TO THE MENOMINEE COMMUNITY IN REGARDS TO ITS SUSTAINABLY MANAGED FOREST RESOURCES.

MANY OF THE STUDENTS ARE MENOMINEE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE THEIR SKILLS AND GIVE BACK WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED TO THEIR COMMUNITY IN SUCH AREAS AS TEACHING, BUSINESS, PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, NATURAL RESOURCES, AND TRADES PROGRAMS. THIS HAS PROVIDED OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MENOMINEE COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES A RESOURCE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION THAT WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE IN THIS RURAL AREA OF NORTHEAST WISCONSIN.THE COLLEGE'S DEPARTMENT OF CONTINUING EDUCATION (DOCE), WHICH OVERSEES TRIBAL EXTENSION PROGRAMS FOR THE COLLEGE, HAS BEEN ABLE TO UTILIZE ANNUAL CAPACITY FUNDING TO BUILD COLLABORATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. FOR THESE REASONS, THE COLLEGE IS A TRUSTED RESOURCE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND PROGRAMMING THROUGHOUT THE MENOMINEE TRIBAL COMMUNITY. DOCE HAS A LONG HISTORY OF PROVIDING COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS SUCH AS GARDENING, COOKING, SERVSAFE FOOD SAFETY, WILDLAND FIREFIGHTING, QUILLWORK, AND QUILTING.THIS PROJECT AIMS TO COMBINE THESE TWO WELL ESTABLISHED PROGRAMS OF ACADEMIA AND EXTENSION WORK INTO A MICRO-CREDENTIAL PROGRAM THAT WILL ALLOW COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO LEARN ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES AND TECHNIQUES IN TRADITIONAL MENOMINEE PRACTICES AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND RECEIVE ACADEMIC CREDIT FOR THEIR TIME DEDICATED TO LEARNING. OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS, THE DOCE HAS HELD ANAVERAGE OF OVER 100 WORKSHOPSPER YEAR WITH ALMOST 700 PARTICIPANTS. CMN WILL OFFER APPROVED WORKSHOPS AND WORKSHOP SERIES PER POLICY OF THE INSTITUTIONS COMMITTEE ON ACADEMIC QUALITY THAT WILL GIVE PARTICIPANTS A COLLEGE CREDIT BASED ON STUDENT HOURS. MICRO-CREDENTIALING IS A PROCESS THAT PROVIDES AN INDIVIDUAL WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO EARN MINI-DEGREES OR CERTIFICATIONS IN A SPECIALIZED TOPIC AREA.THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ELEVATE EXTENSION WORKSHOPS AND TRAINING TO THE COMMUNITY INTO MICRO-CREDENTIAL PROGRAMS THAT WILL PROVIDE COLLEGE CREDITS TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE FIELDS OF SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND MENOMINEE CULTURE.

THE ADVENT OF MODERN SOLAR ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES CAN IMPROVE THE COSTS OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION ON A GLOBAL, NATIONAL, AND REGIONAL LEVEL, ULTIMATELY SPANNING STAKEHOLDERS FROM GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES, TO UTILITY COMPANIES, CORPORATIONS, AND RESIDENTIAL HOMEOWNERS. IN EACH CASE THE QUESTION OF IT AND WHEN THE INVESTOR WILL RECOUP THEIR INITIAL INVESTMENT IS AN IMPORTANT BARRIER TO BE CONSIDERED. CURRENT SOLAR ENERGY PANEL PERFORMANCE ESTIMATION MODELS HAVE SEVERAL LIMITATIONS, ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO COLD AND SNOWY CLIMATES. WHILE THE MODELS COMMONLY INCLUDE A DISCOUNT TO ACCOUNT FOR SHADE OR SOIL, THE FACTOR IS ASSUMED TO BE CONSTANT AND DEVOID OF SEASONAL OR MONTHLY CHANGES, SUCH AS SNOW FALL. THIS IS PROBLEMATIC WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCURATELY ESTIMATE THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND VALUATION OF SOLAR ENERGY PANEL GENERATION IN SNOW PRONE LOCATIONS.
