The Power of Indigenous Knowledges - Moving From Collecting to Respectful Use

AISES students are future science and technology leaders who come from diverse communities with Indigenous knowledges, perspectives and worldviews that are often overlooked in mainstream research and academia.  This session will fully engage students in a dynamic dialogue with the panelists on issues of concern such as intellectual property rights, the peer-review process, tribal sovereignty, free prior and informed consent, mentoring, inclusion and implicit bias.  Student participants will reflect on their own Indigenous knowledges, communicate their ideas for understanding and applying the many contributions that Indigenous peoples can make in helping their communities and the broader society adapt in a changing climate, and share ways to incorporate these knowledges with mainstream science that should be culturally inclusive and encourages students to pursue STEM degrees.    Panelists: Dan Wildcat, Haskell Indian Nations University Roger Pulwarty, NOAA/Office of Oceanic & Atmospheric Research Bill Thomas, NOAA/National Ocean Service Suzanne Van Cooten, NOAA/National Weather Service
