  • Resumen

  • In 2021, USGS and Grand Canyon Youth (GCY) embarked on a groundbreaking expedition known as the Partners in Science Colorado River Expedition. This initiative marked a significant milestone as it introduced an all-Indigenous conservation crew, the Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps, into the realm of scientific research within the Grand Canyon.

    The collaboration aimed to merge traditional ecological knowledge with contemporary scientific practices. Through this partnership, the Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps participated in vital research efforts, fostering a unique exchange of insights between Indigenous wisdom and modern science. The project underscored the importance of inclusive conservation efforts, spotlighting the role Indigenous communities play in environmental stewardship.

    The Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps, composed of members deeply connected to their cultural heritage and ancestral territories, worked alongside scientists in collecting data and monitoring the ecological health of the Colorado River. Their involvement provided invaluable perspectives on environmental changes and conservation strategies, demonstrating how Indigenous practices and values can enhance scientific understanding and resource management.

    The expedition not only contributed to significant scientific findings but also served as a platform for empowering Indigenous youth. Participants gained hands-on experience in field research, data collection, and analysis, equipping them with skills to pursue careers in conservation and environmental science. This immersive experience fostered a sense of pride and ownership in preserving their ancestral lands while bridging the gap between traditional knowledge and contemporary environmental science.

    In conclusion, the Partners in Science Colorado River Expedition of 2021 stands as a landmark event in the realm of conservation science. By integrating the Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps into their research endeavors, USGS and GCY highlighted the profound contributions Indigenous communities can make to environmental research and resource management, setting a precedent for future inclusive and collaborative conservation initiatives.
