Target Audience:The project audience includes Alaska Native peoples and residents within their remote communities and throughout Alaska. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?2021-22 NWC - HLRM NWC director, Barb Amarok and HLRM Coordinator, Mariah Morgan traveled to Finland and met with the Sámi Education Institute, conducting a hybrid arrangement with the Komi Republic and Taimyr College (Russia) of the BEBO-network (an organization founded by the Sámi Education Institute) virtually. The topic of the meeting was the continuation of cooperation and renewal of agreement for the future between the Sámi Education Institute and Northwest Campus. The focus was on topics familiar to Arctic Indigenous peoples, such as reindeer husbandry, traditional crafts, and Arctic tourism. The meeting was collaborative for all parties and shows that there is strength in Arctic Indigenous cooperation. All of these circumpolar higher education institutes are members of the University of the Arctic, which constantly updates universal reindeer herding curriculum. Dr. Amarok and Ms. Morgan also toured the Sámi Education Institute. The school focuses on Sámi language, Hand Crafts & Culture, Media Studies, Tourism, and Nature & Environmental Studies. They had several classrooms particularly for hand crafting: a knife workshop, industrial sewing machines, reindeer hide tanning, etc. NWC staff would like to continue this visit with yearly student exchanges to provide experiential learning opportunities that build upon Circumpolar Indigenous knowledge and modern economic systems that advance economic self-determination. BBC - SEI The ENVI F250, SEI Solar Installers Training (2 credits, 8 day intensive, 64 SEI certificate hours toward NABCEP certification, spread across 3 distinct SEI offerings PV101, PV201 and PV301) offered a tremendous value and opportunity for local, regional and statewide individuals with an equitable distribution pertaining to solar professional workforce development. Participants have a deeper knowledge of professional quality standards for decommissioning and installation of modern solar electric systems. With this knowledge, they can qualify and apply for jobs in the quickly expanding solar energy market today, within or outside of AK. They also have the opportunity to continue their training in upcoming workforce training opportunities to continue to apply this knowledge in the job market or in an entrepreneurial fashion. The ENVI F293 Solar Decathlon provided students with the opportunity to perform group research and design of an innovative net zero emissions energy efficient home. Students gained valuable experience through presentation at the NREL Solar Decathlon International Competition, building their resume to apply for future academic and professional opportunities. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?2021-22 BBC - SEI Results of the Solar Training and Decathlon events have been disseminated through the WAISC public forum conference which focuses on rural and western AK. In this conference, community members, Tribal leaders and members, professional, private, academic, governmental and non-governmental institutions are present. This information is then shared collectively amongst those groups. News articles in the UAF Cornerstone and CRCD newsletter also shared information about the success of the events and future opportunities / upcoming events. The Solar Decathlon students were also interviewed in a public article for AK Biz Magazine: https://www.akbizmag.com/industry/architecture/uaf-students-design-shipping-container-house/ Flyers, mass marketing email campaigns, and social media have also been successful platforms for sharing this information as well as upcoming events and opportunities pertaining to the BBC SEI's upcoming solar workforce training, decathlon, and course series events. Tribal and Native organization leaders are also close allies with the BBC SEI. Leaders within these organizations help spread the word of offerings and opportunities within the program as well as successes and outcomes. This information is then shared with individuals that may not normally have direct access, thus reaching further into target audiences to provide equitable distribution of information pertaining to these opportunities. NWC - HLRM The Northwest Campus Advisory Council holds membership representing the fifteen regional village communities, and meets biannually. The NWC director report includes HLRM activities and planned activities. The HLRM Program has provided opportunities for participants to attend and present at Reindeer Herders Association meetings and Reindeer Herder Council meetings HLRM Recruitment Video, Hrabok, J.T. & Mariah Morgan Kids to College Meat Workshop - Hrabok, J.T. IAC - TG Outreach through the Tribal Governance Facebook and College of Rural and Community Development Social Media, Tribal Non-Profit Newsletters, and UAF Cornerstone. KuC - EBOT The new program assistant has taken over outreach/recruitment, enrollment and scholarship assistance for students. The EBOT website remains a good source of information. CC - FSS Information is disseminated through a local email group that includes a large (100+) community of gardeners or garden advocates. Information is also informally disseminated to identified new and current gardeners via private home garden visits; to CC community gardeners; and to youth during group visits and class field trips to CC gardens. Facebook and social media are also utilized at CC. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Nothing Reported

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Project Impact: The IANS project continued to build on previous success and approaches to increase the human and skills capacity of the communities served. The project activities and five campuses that comprise the Drumbeats Alaska (DA) Consortium supported by IANS are highlighted below to demonstrate that the DA Consortium has increased its capacity to engage in and lead the efforts towards IANS objectives. With IANS funding, the DA Consortium directly engaged with communities and participants across the state of Alaska to increase food and energy security through place-based instruction, distance delivery, and experiential learning. Drumbeats Alaska and its program sites enhanced cross-campus and cross-program collaboration and partnerships. Drumbeats programs continue to collaborate across partner campuses to deliver place-based curricula in FANH sciences with joint course development through Bristol Bay Campus (BBC) and Kuskokwim Campus (KuC): Wild Plant Ecology I and II takes an ecological approach to understanding important plants to the people of Bristol Bay and Kuskokwim regions (Southwest Alaska). BBC's collaboration with IAC / Tribal Governance and Stewardship included Sustainable Salmon and Tribal Entrepreneurship & Sustainable Resources curricula. Both courses focus on the relationship with people and natural resources including salmon, to the well-being of Tribal Communities. Faculty incorporated Indigenous and Western science methods of utilizing natural resources to develop and market traditional arts. Emphasis was placed on marketing opportunities provided by tribal organizations, Indigenous arts ecology, and sustainable economic development in Tribal communities. IAC Tribal Governance and Stewardship: IAC Tribal Governance and Stewardship program further increased student enrollment and public participation through strategic partnerships, such as with the Yukon River Drainage Fisheries Association and the US Fish and Wildlife Service, creating a greater understanding in a broader community of Alaska Native food security and sovereignty as it relates to wild food resources. Through these strategic partnerships, Tribal Governance courses and seminars were inclusive of both non-Native resource managers and Native wild food harvesters, providing information that students and participants were able to apply directly in the field of fisheries and wildlife regulatory management in Alaska. The University of Alaska Fairbanks faculty from the Tribal Governance & Stewardship Program partnered with the Northern Latitudes Partnerships team, in partnership with US Fish & Wildlife Service and offered a 6-part virtual course on "Indigenous-Led Land Planning." The course, which drew in over 250 registered participants, featured distinguished speakers from Alaska and western Canada and included small group breakout discussions. Topics included Indigenous Worldview, the context for land management in Alaska and Canada, successful case studies and models for Indigenous-led land planning, and ways for various partners including government agencies, conservation organizations, and academia to effectively collaborate with Indigenous groups on land stewardship and planning. BBC Sustainable Energy: BBC's Sustainable Energy (SE) Solar Installers Workforce Training included students, statewide educators, scientists, and industry professionals who together installed a 6.1 kW solar electric array used for future training, outreach, and research. This workforce initiative helped empower 12 Alaskans and the BBC to advance the solar industry in Alaska. The next step in the process will be to leverage this training and group for BBC's upcoming "Train the Trainer" initiative. With additional partnership and support from the Alaska Technical Vocational Education Program (TVEP) for $88,600, the SE program will recruit a group of cohorts to begin a professional pathway as solar energy installation instructors, the first of their kind in the state of Alaska. The IANS funding also provided continuation of rural Alaskans' participation in a nation-wide U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon, which builds partnerships within Alaskan communities and provides a connection between different levels of education, from high school to university. BBC's ENVI F293 Solar Decathlon students created a prize-winning new design for rural Alaska housing construction at the 2022 National Renewable Energy Laboratory Solar Decathlon International Division in Golden, CO. A description of the team and their project is detailed in the article here. KuC Ethnobotany: KuC EBOT students continue to increase knowledge in health and natural resources: The Kaayani Sisters Council, comprised of seven Indigenous women across Alaska, has three graduates of EBOT who contributed to "Respectful Harvesting" guidelines informed by the course, EBOT 210 Ethical Wildcrafting. The goal of the guidelines is to encourage communities to "engage with local and cultural plant traditions, produce thoughtful discussion, honesty and hard work to solve the issues of inequity and develop more sustainable ways to preserve and care for natural resources." The project was also partially funded by Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples, Inc. NWC High Latitude Range Management: The NWC HLRM program's visit to Finland for a face-to-face gathering was invaluable to the HLRM team and the advancement of the program. As a model and mentor for HLRM, the Sami Institute provides reindeer husbandry knowledge based on over 1000 years. Due to this breadth and depth of knowledge, Dr. Barbara Amarok and Mariah Morgan from NWC traveled to Finland in September of 2021 to meet Dr. Jackie Hrabok at the Sámi Education Institute and experience the Sámi reindeer husbandry region. The High Latitude Range Management program is a flagship program of Northwest Campus in that it originates out of our campus. It's important that it remains with Northwest Campus as the Seward Peninsula houses the majority of reindeer in the state of Alaska. NWC plans to build upon the visit to Finland and the Sámi Education Institute with yearly HLRM student exchanges, which would increase student success in reindeer herding and entrepreneurship through immersion at the Institute. Observation at the Institute's postsecondary programs on nature and environmental studies, culture/crafts, media studies and tourism all help to inspire and promote established meat processing enterprises in the Circumpolar North. CC Food Security and Sovereignty: Chukchi Campus - Food Security and Sovereignty Program (CC FSS) project hosted field days led by Kotzebue High School students in the Teaching for Tomorrow's Future class (HS students interested in the teaching profession). Over 150 students from June Nelson Elementary School in Kotzebue attended field days hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Chukchi Campus on August 25th and 26th. The place-based outdoor activities were held at Chukchi, in the area of the demonstration food garden and native plants garden. Elementary students rotated between stations, led by Kotzebue High School students in the Teaching for Tomorrow's Future class. Activities included making observations and collections, playing a native plant identification game, making mini-growth chambers for sprouting bean seeds, and checking out the kinds of vegetables grown in the area. Through the use of the demonstration gardens and the native plants gardens, a goal was to encourage students to recognize that locally grown produce and traditional food can combine to make a healthy diet.There was an emphasis on understanding how the relationship between subsistence and agriculture in this region can be beneficial in terms of food security, personal health, and nutrition.

What was accomplished under these goals? Invigorating Alaska Native Food & Energy Sovereignty (IANS) received a no-cost extension to continue the project through 7/31/2024. The IANS project has completed two years (2021-2023) and delivered five academic/career and community outreach programs through the Drumbeats Alaska (DA) Consortium to Alaska Native students and community participants across Alaska: Ethnobotany (EBOT), Sustainable Energy (SE), High Latitude Range Management (HLRM), Food Security & Sovereignty (FSS), and Tribal Governance & Stewardship (TGS). While Year 1 (2021-22) provided curricula and community outreach activities, the primary focus of Year 2 (2022-23) was external evaluation services. Raven's Group program evaluators coordinated with the project manager on monitoring activities in Year 2 of IANS. The evaluation team assisted in the collection of UA PAIR data in addition to review and synthesis of the data. Ongoing monitoring meetings occurred throughout Year 2 by the evaluation team with each of the five campus' faculty, site directors and staff. The evaluation team conducted monitoring and data collection interviews with IANS faculty and administration of each campus to reflectively collect data specific to challenges and accomplishments of project objectives and lessons learned on collaborations and partnerships. Data synthesis, campus overview documents, and a summary of findings were provided through the Year 1 progress reporting process.
