TRIBAL COLL & UNIV PROGRAM

THE PROJECT EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES FORAGRICULTURE AT NHSC IS BEING SUBMITTED BY NUETA HIDATSA SAHNISH COLLEGE (NHSC) UNDER TRIBAL COLLEGES EDUCATION WITH AN EDUCATION/TEACHING FOCUS.THE PROJECT WILL IMPLEMENT A NUMBER OR PROGRAM AND COURSE EDUCATIONAL AND ASSESSMENT IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE STUDENT RECRUITMENT RETENTION AND STUDENT SUCCESS INTO OUR EXISTING EQUINE STUDIES A.S. DEGREE AND OTHER AGRICULTURE COURSEWORK. THE PROJECT INTEGRATES INDUSTRY STANDARDSEXPERIENTIAL LEARNING EXPANDED COURSE DELIVERY METHODS AND STANDARDIZED ASSESSMENT PROCESSES TO IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING INTO EXISTING AGRICULTURE COURSEWORK.SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT SATISFIES ALL SIX GOALS OF THE TRIBAL COLLEGE EDUCATION GRANT PROGRAM BY (1) IMPROVING SERVICES EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE RECRUITMENT RETENTION AND STUDENT SUCCESS IN THE EQUINE STUDIES AS DEGREE; (2) CREATING A MODEL OF ASSESSMENT WITHIN THE EQUINE STUDIES DEGREE TO IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING; AND (3) DEVELOPING A FOUNDATION OF A FORMAL EDUCATION FOR NHSC AGRICULTURE GARDENING COURSES.

THE PROJECT WILL FOCUS ON THE FOLLOWING AREAS OF NIFA: AGRICULTURE, TRIBAL YOUTH, AND FAMILY ANDCONSUMER SCIENCE, HEALTH AND NUTRITION.THE FOCUS OF NHSC'S TCEP PROPOSAL IS THE COMMUNITY. THE THREE GOALS AND SIX OBJECTIVESEMBODY THE NICHE THAT THE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS AS IT HASREFINED ITS PRESENCE ON FORT BERTHOLD AND DEVELOPED ITS EXPERTISE IN TWO MAIN AREAS: EQUINE ANDGARDENING/FOOD SUSTAINABILITY AND SOVEREIGNTY.THERE ARE TWOGARDENING GOALS IN THE TCEP PROPOSAL; ONE FOCUSES ON EXPANDING THE GARDENS FOR COMMUNITYMEMBERS, AND THE OTHER FOCUSES ON GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY.BOTH GOALS INTEND TO BENEFIT THE ENTIRECOMMUNITY BEYOND THE DIRECT PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. NHSC IS SETTING A TREND ON FORT BERTHOLD OFGROWING AND UTILIZING FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR COOKING AND PRESERVING IN ORDER TO INCREASEHEALTH BENEFITS AND LOWER RELIANCE ON PROCESSED FOODS.THE EQUINE PROGRAMS THAT NHSC HAS DEVELOPED PROVIDE INFORMATION, RESOURCES, AND EVENTS THATWERE OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO DO NOT OWN HORSES. THE MANDAN, HIDATSA,AND ARIKARA TRIBAL MEMBERS HAVE ALWAYS HONORED HORSES, BUT THE CULTURAL TRADITIONS, PRACTICES, ANDKNOWLEDGE HAVE DECREASED WITH THE "URBANIZATION" OF THE RESERVATION. THE EQUINE PROGRAMMING,INCLUDING THE STUDENT-LED CLUB, HORSE NATION, AIM TO BRING BACK THE CULTURAL AWARENESS AND HEALINGTHAT CAN COME FROM WORKING DIRECTLY WITH HORSES. THE OBJECTIVES IN THE PROPOSAL AIM TO OFFER HORSEACTIVITIES TO THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING: EQUINE EDUCATION SEMINARS AND CLINICS; HORSE FUN DAYS THAT FAMILY-ORIENTED EQUINE EDUCATION, CULTURAL HORSE RIDES, EQUINE HEALTH MANAGEMENT, AND EQUINE YOUTH ACTIVITIES, INCLUDINGTHEFORT BERTHOLD YOUTH RODEO. EACH OF THESE EVENTS WORKS TO EMPOWER PARTICIPANTS' LIVES BY TEACHINGTHEM THE NATURAL THERAPEUTIC QUALITIES OF THE HORSE-HUMAN RELATIONSHIP.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PEEC PHASE II: 2+2+2+INFINITY: PIPELINE FOR TRIBAL PREENGINEERING TO SOCIETY

AGRICULTURE HAS LONG BEEN CENTRAL TO THE HISTORY, CULTURE, AND WELLBEING OF THE MANDAN, HIDATSA, AND ARIKARA (MHA) NATION. TODAY, AGRICULTURE ALSO OFFERS IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR CAREERS IN FOOD SYSTEMS, NATURAL RESOURCES, ANIMAL SCIENCE, EDUCATION, EXTENSION, RESEARCH, AND COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP. HOWEVER, TRIBAL STUDENTS CAN FACE BARRIERS IN FINDING AND NAVIGATING CLEAR EDUCATIONAL PATHWAYS THAT CONNECT THEIR INTERESTS IN AGRICULTURE TO COLLEGE CREDENTIALS, FOUR-YEAR DEGREES, AND CAREERS. NUETA HIDATSA SAHNISH COLLEGE (NHSC) CURRENTLY OFFERS AGRICULTURE-RELATED LEARNING THROUGH AGRICULTURE AND EQUINE STUDIES, NATIVE AMERICAN STUDIES, AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE, BUT THESE OPPORTUNITIES HAVE LARGELY EXISTED AS SEPARATE ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES. THE NHSC AGRICULTURE PATHWAYS INITIATIVE WILL BRING THESE STRENGTHS TOGETHER TO CREATE A MORE COORDINATED PATHWAY FOR STUDENTS BEGINNING IN HIGH SCHOOL AND CONTINUING THROUGH COLLEGE, TRANSFER, AND EMPLOYMENT. THE PROJECT WILL BUILD UPON THE AGRICULTURAL KNOWLEDGE AND TRADITIONS OF THE MHA NATION WHILE ALSO PREPARING STUDENTS WITH CONTEMPORARY SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL, LEADERSHIP, AND PROFESSIONAL SKILLS NEEDED TO ADDRESS CURRENT AND FUTURE CHALLENGES IN AGRICULTURE, FOOD SYSTEMS, AND NATURAL RESOURCE STEWARDSHIP.NHSC WILL WORK WITH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS, NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY (NDSU), AND OTHER PARTNERS TO CREATE STACKABLE AGRICULTURE CERTIFICATES AND ASSOCIATE DEGREE PATHWAYS, EXPAND DUAL-CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES, AND PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH ADVISING, TUTORING, MENTORING, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, CAREER EXPLORATION, INTERNSHIPS, RESEARCH, AND OTHER HANDS-ON LEARNING EXPERIENCES. A KEY COMPONENT WILL BE DEVELOPMENT OF A 2+2 TRANSFER PATHWAY THAT ALLOWS STUDENTS TO BEGIN THEIR EDUCATION AT NHSC, COMPLETE AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE, AND TRANSITION TO NDSU TO COMPLETE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES OR A RELATED FIELD.STUDENTS WILL ALSO HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO VISIT AND LEARN AT NDSU, MEET FACULTY AND ADVISORS, EXPLORE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH AND CAREERS, AND PREPARE FOR TRANSFER INTO BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAMS. NHSC WILL TRACK STUDENT PARTICIPATION, RETENTION, CREDENTIAL COMPLETION, TRANSFER, EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING, AND OTHER MEASURES THROUGHOUT THE FOUR-YEAR PROJECT AND USE THE RESULTS TO CONTINUALLY IMPROVE THE PROGRAM. ULTIMATELY, THE INITIATIVE IS INTENDED TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF TRIBAL STUDENTS WHO ENTER, PERSIST IN, AND COMPLETE AGRICULTURE-RELATED EDUCATIONAL PATHWAYS AND ARE PREPARED TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION OR ENTER THE WORKFORCE. BY DEVELOPING FUTURE AGRICULTURAL PROFESSIONALS AND LEADERS WHO BRING TOGETHER TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE, CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE, AND STRONG CONNECTIONS TO THEIR COMMUNITIES, THE PROJECT CAN STRENGTHEN THE LONG-TERM CAPACITY OF THE MHA NATION AND OTHER TRIBAL COMMUNITIES IN AGRICULTURE, FOOD SYSTEMS, NATURAL RESOURCE STEWARDSHIP, EDUCATION, AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

PROJECT SUMMARY: THE AREA OF EXPERTISE BEING DEVELOPED IN THIS PROJECT IS HORTICULTURE PRODUCTION RESEARCH, USING THE CULTURALLY RELEVANT JUNEBERRY IN NATIVE, NRCS PLANTINGS, AND CULTIVATED ORCHARDS. THE JUNEBERRY FRUIT IS A SMALL POME AND IT IS BORNE IN CLUSTERS OF SIX TO 12 POMES, RIPENING TO PURPLE, RED OR ALMOST BLACK COLOR. JUNEBERRY IS A HIGHLY NUTRITIOUS FRUIT CROP WITH AN EXCELLENT SOURCE OF IRON, POTASSIUM, MAGNESIUM AND PHOSPHORUS; A HIGHER PROTEIN, CALCIUM, AND FIBER CONTENT THAN BLUEBERRY, AND A VITAMIN AND PHENOLIC CONTENT SIMILAR TO BLUEBERRY (OCHTERSKI, 2010). IN CONTRAST TO BLUEBERRY THE JUNEBERRY IS WELL-ADAPTED TO THE NORTHERN CENTRAL PLAINS (LAUGHLIN ET AL., 1996; ST.PIERRE, 1999). THE AIMS OF THIS PROJECT ARE TO DEVELOP MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR JUNEBERRY CULTIVAR ORCHARDS AND NCRS PLANTINGS FOR NORTH DAKOTA CONDITIONS AND TRAIN STUDENTS IN RESEARCH PRODUCTION METHODOLOGIES WITH THE SPECIFIC AIMS OF: 1) DETERMINING IMPORTANT FACTORS IMPACTING FRUIT YIELD BY ALTERING PRODUCTION VARIABLES IN JUNEBERRY CULTIVAR ORCHARDS. 2) DEVELOP BASELINE FRUIT YIELD INFORMATION FOR NRCS SEEDLING DERIVED PLANTINGS AND NATIVE STAND FRUIT YIELD. 3) TRAIN NHSC STUDENTS IN FRUIT CROP RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES AND DEVELOP CURRICULUM MATERIALS FOR NATIVE PLANT BOTANY COURSE. THIS PROJECT IS HIGHLY RELEVANT TO THE TRIBAL COMMUNITY, WILL BENEFIT THE PUBLIC, INCREASE EDUCATION AND RESEARCH CAPACITY, AND HAVE BROADER APPLICATION TO OTHER GROWERS IN THE REGION. TRIBAL MEMBERS WILL BENEFIT FROM INCREASED AVAILABILITY OF FRUIT AND KNOWLEDGE TO IMPROVE THEIR OWN PLANTINGS, PROVIDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR ENTREPRENEURIAL TRIBAL MEMBERS. THE RESULTS OF THESE STUDIES WILL BE DISSEMINATED THROUGH PRESENTATIONS, BULLETINS, AND RESEARCH PAPERS TO TRIBAL AND SCIENTIFIC AUDIENCES. IN ADDITION, EXPERTISE AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPED BY THIS NEW RESEARCH PROJECT HAVE POTENTIAL APPLICATION FOR USE WITH OTHER NATIVE FRUIT MATERIALS.THE JUNEBERRY IS AN EXCELLENT FRUIT TO INCREASE THE NATIVE AMERICAN CONTEMPORARY DIET BECAUSE OF THE HEALTH BENEFITS (ORCHTERSKI, 2010). HISTORICALLY, THE NATIVE SHRUB WAS A WIDELY USED FOOD STAPLE BY MANY NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBES AND FLOWERS AND FRUIT WERE IMPORTANT IN NATIVE CEREMONIES (MOERMAN, 1998; ST-PIERRE, 1999). FRUIT WERE USED FRESH, STEAMED OR MASHED, DRIED AND USED IN PEMMICAN CAKES (DRIED LEAN MEAT, MELTED FAT, AND JUNEBERRIES) THAT WOULD KEEP FOR MONTHS IN A COOL, DRY PLACE AND WAS A WINTER STAPLE. THE NATIVE JUNEBERRY, IS STILL USED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BY MEMBERS OF THE MANDAN, HIDATSA, AND ARIKARA NATIONS AND KNOWN WILD PLOTS ARE HARVESTED FOR FRESH AND DRIED EATING AND FROZEN FOR MULTIPLE USES.FORT BERTHOLD COMMUNITY COLLEGE (NOW NHSC) BEGAN THE JUNEBERRY PROJECT IN 2003 BY PLANTING THREE LARGE ORCHARDS OF JUNEBERRIES, TWO ORCHARDS OF CULTIVARS ARE LOCATED IN THE WHITE SHIELD DISTRICT ON THE EAST SEGMENT OF THE RESERVATION AND ONE IN THE MANDAREE DISTRICT ON THE WEST SEGMENT. A THIRD ORCHARD AT ELBOWOOD IS COMPOSED OF SEEDLING DERIVED PLANTS FROM NCRS. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE SEVERAL KNOWN AND STUDIED WILD NATIVE STANDS OF THE JUNEBERRY. DR. HARTMAN CONDUCTED THE INITIAL RESEARCH FOR HIS PHD STUDIES ENTITLED, REESTABLISHING THE JUNEBERRY ON THE FORT BERTHOLD INDIAN RESERVATION: CULTURAL, HORTICULTURAL, AND EDUCATIONAL CONNECTIONS (HARTMAN, 2008). INITIALLY THE FORT BERTHOLD COMMUNITY COLLEGE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT CONDUCTED STUDIES OF PROPAGATION AND TRANSPLANT, PESTS, AND WEED CONTROL. RESULTS INCLUDED MULTIPLE CULTIVAR DIFFERENCE IN GROWTH AND HARDINESS, BENEFITS OF WEED BARRIER, AND NO SIGNIFICANT PEST ISSUES. IN 2007, DR. HARTMAN AND DR. ANNE FENNELL (CO-PD OF THIS PROPOSAL) OF THE SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY (SDSU) AGRONOMY, HORTICULTURE AND PLANT SCIENCE DEPARTMENT, BEGAN A RESEARCH PROJECT INTO PROPAGATION METHODS FOR JUNEBERRIES. THE PUBLISHED RESULTS INDICATED PROPAGATION FROM SEEDS AS THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR PROPAGATING JUNEBERRIES. DR. HARTMAN COLLABORATED WITH DR. FATHI HALAWEISH, BIOCHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT AT SDSU ON A 2011 USDA FUNDED PROJECT TO STUDY THE NUTRITIONAL AND ANTI-CANCER PROPERTIES OF THE JUNEBERRY. THIS PUBLISHED RESEARCH EVALUATION OF CHEMOPREVENTIVE CONTENTS OF NATIVE AMERICAN JUNEBERRIES SHOWED JUNEBERRIES IN GENERAL TO BE EXTREMELY NUTRITIONAL AND CONTAIN HIGH LEVELS ON ANTI-OXIDANTS (GUNAWARDANA ET AL. 2016). DR. HARTMAN'S EXPERIENCES WITH THE JUNEBERRY PROVIDE WELL-ESTABLISHED PLANT RESOURCES AND A STRONG RESEARCH FOUNDATION TO DEVELOP THE NEW RESEARCH IN SPECIALTY CROP PRODUCTION AND TIE THIS DIRECTLY TO COLLEGE CURRICULUM. THIS PROJECT WILL IMPROVE HIS RESEARCH EXPERTISE, PROVIDE STUDENT RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES AND NEW CURRICULUM.THE FORT BERTHOLD JUNEBERRY PROJECT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN PROMOTING THE REESTABLISHMENT OF THE JUNEBERRY ON THE FORT BERTHOLD RESERVATION. IN ADDITION, CULTURAL NOTATIONS AND EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES SURROUNDING THIS TRADITIONAL FOOD SOURCE HAVE ALSO BEEN REESTABLISHED IN THE FORT BERTHOLD INDIAN RESERVATION. THE ORCHARDS AND WILD STANDS PROVIDE HUNDREDS OF GALLONS OF JUNEBERRIES WHICH ARE DISTRIBUTED TO ELDERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN SOME YEARS. MEMBERS HAVE ALSO SUCCESSFULLY MARKETED JUNEBERRIES AND OTHER JUNEBERRY PRODUCTS, UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE SOME YEARS WHEN THE FRUIT YIELD IS VERY LOW OR NON-EXISTENT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS NEW RESEARCH IS TO MANIPULATE SEVERAL CULTURAL PRACTICES (IRRIGATION, PRUNING, AND FERTILIZER) IN ORCHARDS AND TO EXPLORE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF NCRS DERIVED SEEDLING PLANTINGS AND NATIVE STANDS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO ENHANCE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN THE THREE DIFFERENT GROWING SYSTEMS.PREVIOUSLY THE BERTHOLD JUNEBERRY PROJECT INVESTIGATED SOILS, LOCATION, TOPOGRAPHY, AND LAND USE FACTORS ON THE GROWTH AND PERFORMANCE OF NATIVE JUNEBERRY STANDS (HARMON, 2008). HOWEVER, YIELD IN NATIVE STANDS AND NRCS PLANTINGS IS RARELY STUDIED AND AT PRESENT THERE IS NO RESOURCE AVAILABLE THAT DOCUMENT OR INFORM MANAGEMENT OF NRCS OR NATIVE JUNEBERRY YIELDS. HENCE, IN ORDER TOMEET THE NEEDS DETERMINED BY THE PRIMARY STAKEHOLDERS TO CROP JUNEBERRY AND STATE AND FEDERAL INTERESTS IN DEVELOPING ECOLOGICAL, ECONOMICAL, AND SUSTAINABLE JUNEBERRY PRODUCTION, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO DETERMINE FRUIT YIELD IN ALL SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE BASELINE INFORMATION FOR EXPLORING MANAGEMENT ENHANCEMENT STRATEGIES. THIS PROJECT WILL USE CULTIVAR ORCHARDS TO EXPLORE IRRIGATION, PRUNING, AND FERTILIZATION ON YIELD. THE NRCS PLANTINGS AND NATIVE STANDS WILL BE USED TO PROVIDE THE MOST BASIC DATA ON YIELD IN NATURAL CONDITIONS OR MINIMAL IRRIGATION SUPPLEMENTS, TO DEVELOP THE KNOWLEDGE TO PROMOTE ADEQUATE PRODUCTION OF JUNEBERRY CROPS IN THE TRIBAL COMMUNITIES.

COMMUNITY FACILITIES - NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES

JUNEBERRIES WERE A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE DIET AND CULTURAL TRADITIONS OF THE MANDAN (NUETA), HIDATSA, AND ARIKARA (SAHNISH) NATIONS. HOWEVER, MOST NATIVE STANDS WERE LOST UPON THE DAMMING OF THE MISSOURI RIVER IN NORTH DAKOTA. WHILE JUNEBERRIES HAVE BEEN USED FOR GENERATIONS, THEY HAVE ONLY RECENTLY BECOME A SPECIALTY CROP, AND THERE IS LIMITED INFORMATION ON MAXIMIZING FRUIT PRODUCTION. RECENT EVALUATIONS INDICATE CULTIVARS WITH HIGH YIELD AS DETERMINED BY WEIGHT (ARDAYFIO & HATTERMAN-VALENTI, 2015). PRODUCTION GUIDES AND EXTENSION BULLETINS PROVIDE GENERAL GUIDELINES ON IRRIGATION AND FERTILIZER; HOWEVER, MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION IS NEEDED FOR MANAGING WATER, PRUNING, AND FERTILIZER IN MATURE ORCHARDS AND NATIONAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICES (NRCS) PLANTINGS, FROM OPEN POLLINATED SEED SOURCES, FOR YIELD IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS (AAARD, 2013; BARNEY ET AL., 2009; KAISER & ERNST, 2017; LAUGHLIN ET AL., 1996; ST-PIERRE, 2005) ;ST. PIERRE, 1999). THIS JUNEBERRY RESEARCH PROJECT WILL LEVERAGE PLANTINGS THAT THE NUETA HIDATSA SAHNISH COLLEGE (NHSC, PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS FORT BERTHOLD COMMUNITY COLLEGE UNTIL 2016) ESTABLISHED IN LAST 15 YEARS (FORT BERTHOLD JUNEBERRY PROJECT). THE JUNEBERRY PROJECT WAS INITIATED AND CONTINUES AT THE REQUEST OF TRIBAL ELDERS, WITH ONGOING GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT FROM THE TRIBAL COMMUNITIES ON FORT BERTHOLD INDIAN RESERVATION IN NORTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA.

MULTIPLE TRIBES ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECISIONS SUCH AS DAMMING. THE CREATION OF A MISSOURI RIVER CONSORTIUM THROUGH THE TRIBAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (TCUS) LOCATED ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER WILL CONNECT THOSE TRIBES AND ALLOW THEM TO HAVE A COLLECTIVE VOICE ABOUT THE ISSUES THEY FACE. BECAUSE THIS NATION OF THE UNITED STATES WAS FOUNDED ON ALL NATIVE LAND, IT IS IMPORTANT FOR NATIVE PEOPLE TO HAVE A VOICE IN ISSUES RELATED TO THE LAND AND RESOURCES. THIS PROJECT IS ONE WAY OF BRINGING SOME OF THOSE VOICES TOGETHER, WHICH IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES ON AND OFF THE RESERVATIONS, AS WELL AS REGIONALLY TO BECOME INFORMED ABOUT TRIBAL NATURAL RESOURCE ISSUES.THE PROJECT WILL CREATE RESEARCH PROCEDURES THAT ARE INFORMED BY NATIVE PHILOSOPHIES. THE PROJECT WILL FOCUS ON BOTH CULTURAL AND BIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS TO MEASURE AND MONITOR TO INFORM PRIORITIES AND DECISION-MAKING RELATED TO THE MISSOURI RIVER.THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS TO CREATE A SAFE AND POWERFUL SPACE FOR TRIBES TO COME TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS COMMON ISSUES AS THEY RELATE TO THE MISSOURI RIVER. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO ESTABLISH SOME COMMON BIOLOGICAL FEATURES FOR MONITORING AND ESTABLISH SOME BASELINE DATA.
