Target Audience:The CDA Reservation Indian and non-Indian residents on the CDA Reservation, including youth, and adults are our direct target audience. The primary CDA Reservation population centers include the communities of Worley, Plummer, Tensed, and DeSmet. In 2020, 7,567 people lived on the CDA Reservation. The enrolled population of the CDA Tribe is 2,557 members, of whom 1,040 live on the reservation. Forty percent of CDA Tribal members are under the age of 18, compared to 25% of the similar U.S. population (Coeur d'Alene Tribe Enrollment Office Data, 2022). The CDA Tribe and reservation community face a 36% poverty rate for American Indians (ACS Census Bureau, 2015-2019). The overall poverty rate for the reservation including non-Indians is 17.1% (US Census Bureau, 2020). According to the American Community Survey, the poverty rate from 2015-2019 was 36% of American Indians on reservation compared to 17% of the total population on the reservation.

Progress 09/01/18 to 08/31/19
Outputs
Target Audience: The Coeur d' Alene Reservation was established by Executive Order in 1873, and is comprised of 345,000 acres of timbered mountains and agriculture lands in the Panhandle of Northern Idaho in Kootenai and Benewah Counties. The primary reservation population centers include the communities of Worley, Plummer, Tensed and DeSmet. Approximately, 7,164 people now live on the Coeur d' Alene Reservation. The enrolled population of the CDA Tribe is 2,457 members, of whom 1,140 live on the reservation. The Coeur d' Alene Reservation Indian and non-Indian residents, youth and adults, are the direct target audience. Forty percent of CDA Tribal members are under the age of 18, compared to 25% of the similar U.S. population (Coeur d' Alene Tribe Enrollment Office Data, 2015). The CDA Tribe and reservation community faces a 34% rate of poverty for American Indians, ranking the highest among the five tribes of Idaho (American Indians on the Coeur d' Alene Reservation; Poverty Rate, overall IndicatorsIdaho.org, 2014). Single-female heads of household with children under 18 face a poverty rate of 100% (Benewah Medical and Wellness Center Community Health Assessment, 2014). The overall poverty rate for the reservation including non-Indians is 18% (IndicatorsIdaho.org). Changes/Problems:The University of Idaho Extension has a new Project Director/Investigator for the Coeur d'Alene Reservation Program, FRTEP. More professional development, training, and getting familiar with 4-H and extension is needed however the new PD is positive and has remained on-track and open to many opportunities to increase overall knowledge. All necessary reporting has remained up to date, administrative and programming duties have been fulfilled, and the day to day operations were successful during the hiring process. The new PD has successfully continued with the current programming while enhancing and adding new programs and has partnered with the Idaho 4-H office to implement new curriculum that will give students more opportunities. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Conferences Trainings/Workshop Presentations Given "It's Your Life" delivery at Lakeside College and Career Fair with UI Extension Kootenai County UI Extension Approx. 200 youth.

Information is shared through the tribal internal network, email, Zoom (conference calls) meetings, and collaborations with FRTEP program educators, community forums on student activities, flyers, face to face contact, and personal phone calls. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Continue to develop and adapt 4-H Youth Development best practices and experiential learning models to be culturally relevant to the traditions of the Native American population. Continue to partner with local leaders and educators in our community to teach hands on place based projects using traditional knowledge and expertise from Coeur d'Alene tribal members.

What was accomplished under these goals?
In response to the needs of the Coeur d'Alene (Cd'A) Reservation community, the University of Idaho extension agent has continued and expanded a multi-faceted program. The UI Cd'A Reservation staff has facilitated a wide range of youth and natural resources related education opportunities. Over the course of the 2018-19 year, the UI Cd'A Reservation Program has provided enrichment in a multitude of disciplines and a variety of audiences. 4-H has not always been viewed as accessible to all students in every socioeconomic status on the Coeur d'Alene Reservation. Several efforts have been made with youth programming collaborations to make a variety of projects and trips available for local youth. I n the process youth have learned the importance of fundraising to show personal buy in when partnering with sponsors. For example, The Know Your Government Conference has been very successful with students. Those delegates that attended The Know Your Government Conference expressed interest in attending another 4-H conference, The Idaho 4-H State Teen Association Convention; our youth fundraised and were able to attend the conference in June 2019.

Progress 09/01/17 to 08/31/18
Outputs
Target Audience:The University of Idaho (UI) currently supports three FRTEP programs on reservations, the Coeur d' Alene, Nez Perce and Ft. Hall Tribes.The Coeur d' Alene program was first established in 2001 and has demonstrated programmatic impacts in the areas of positive youth development, STE(Art)M including agriculture and natural resources education as well as community and economic development. The Coeur d' Alene Reservation was established by Executive Order in 1873 and is comprised of 345,000 acres of timbered mountains and agriculture lands in the Panhandle of Northern Idaho in Kootenai and Benewah Counties. The primary reservation population centers include the communities of Worley, Plummer, Tensed and DeSmet. Approximately, 7,164 people now live on the Coeur d' Alene Reservation. The enrolled population of the CDA Tribe is 2,457 members, of whom 1,140 live on the reservation. The Coeur d' Alene Reservation Indian and non-Indian residents, youth and adults, are the direct target audience. Forty percent of CDA Tribal members are under the age of 18, compared to 25% of the similar U.S. population (Coeur d' Alene Tribe Enrollment Office Data, 2015). The CDA Tribe and reservation community faces a 34% rate of poverty for American Indians, ranking the highest among the five tribes of Idaho (American Indians on the Coeur d' Alene Reservation; Poverty Rate, overall IndicatorsIdaho.org, 2014). Single-female heads of household with children under 18 face a poverty rate of 100% (Benewah Medical and Wellness Center Community Health Assessment, 2014). The overall poverty rate for the reservation including non-Indians is 18% (IndicatorsIdaho.org). Considering these realities, the CDA Reservation Extension program has clear rationale for identified goals and objectives with many opportunities to be had. Although difficult to measure, indirect contact and impact is very likely. The individual participant's youth or adult may take gained knowledge and put it into practice at home. Those practices may be adopted by immediate or extended family, therefore creating a ripple effect of impact in the community. Changes/Problems:The University of Idaho Extension will be seeking a new Project Director/Investigator for the Coeur d' Alene Reservation Extension Program, FRTEP. Typically, the search, interview and hiring process can take some time.Filling the position can take several months depending on the flow of processing. This could potentially create a gap in some areas of administration. However, all necessary reporting will be up-to-date by the current PD and she will also be available to assist with areas of need until the position is filled. The Northern District Director for the UI Extension will take leadership over the grant until the position is filled and the Program Administrative Assistant will continue with day-to-day operation of the program and local office, as well as, continue communication with community partners, and follow through with programming that has been established. The new PD will be titled as Senior Instructor/Associate Educator with a bachelor's requirement. Program content areas will remain as written in the approved grant application. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Conference Trainings/Workshop Presentations Given "It's Your Life" Workshop Co-development (withSharla Wilson, UI Extension Kootenai County and Cheryl Lockard) and Delivery at six youth conferences.

How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The UI Extension, Coeur d' Alene Reservation keeps the community updated on events, outcomes of programming and educational opportunities through the local newspaper, The Coeur d' Alene Tribal Council Fires and St. Maries Gazette. The UI Extension also has a Facebook page for the UI Extension, as well as, the One Sky One Earth Food Coalition which is maintained by staff. Information is shared through the tribal internal network and email, zoom (conference calls) meetings, collaborations with other FRTEP program educators, community forums on student activities, flyers, face-to-face contact and personal phone calls. Other efforts have been made to publish a community youth events directory. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Continue to develop and adapt 4-H Youth Development best practices and experiential learning models to be culturally relevant to the traditions of the Native American population.
