Rising Voices, Changing Coasts: The National Indigenous and Earth Sciences Convergence Hub<\/em> (RVCC), will be housed at Haskell and is focused on bringing together Indigenous knowledge-holders from diverse coastal regions and university-trained social, ecosystem, and physical Earth system scientists and students for transformative research to address coastal hazards and create more resilient communities. This grant is the largest NSF-funded research award in tribal college and university history.<\/p>\nHaskell, established in 1884 and based in Lawrence, Kansas, is a post-secondary tribal college operated by the Department of Interior, Bureau of Indian Education that serves members of all federally recognized tribal nations in the United States. Haskell has been a leader among tribal colleges and universities in climate change research and education for decades.<\/p>\n
The Olohana Foundation is a longtime partner of Haskell and others who will be participating in the RVCC Hub. Olohana\u2019s sub-award is $1.6 million over five years, which will focus on community technological and communications infrastructure to support RVCC research for dissemination and future research collaborations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Olohana `ohana is tremendously honored to be a part of the RVCC Hub, a necessary expansion of work we\u2019ve been doing together for more than a decade with folks at NCAR\/UCAR\u2019s Rising Voices Center for Indigenous and Earth Sciences and others on a long list,\u201d said Sarah Purgus, Olohana\u2019s Executive Director.<\/p>\n
The RVCC Hub\u2019s goals are to improve modeling and prediction of coastal processes to support adaptation and mitigation decision-making by Indigenous communities; develop a framework for cross-cultural collaboration that can be adopted in the future; train the next generation of Indigenous scientists and researchers; and increase the infrastructure at Haskell needed to support future large research projects.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat NSF has made this award is a strong endorsement that Indigenous wisdom together with academic scholarship has an important role to play towards finding collective, long-term, and sustainable solutions to the climate crisis along our coastlines,\u201d said Purgus.<\/p>\n
