The Orutsararmiut Native Council’s EPA Environmental Program, along with Woodwell Climate Research Center Permafrost Pathways, invites interested Tribal leaders and Tribal environmental professionals to attend weekly meetings to discuss coordinating water quality monitoring efforts and to bring about successful projects to Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Tribal communities. The meetings are held every Tuesday/Wednesday from 3:00-4:00 Alaska. The mission of the project is to establish shared goals and understand co-stewardship opportunities. The objectives are to: 

  • Define a core set of shared environmental monitoring goals and concerns of YK Delta Tribal partners
  • Understand potential Tribally led and co-stewardship opportunities for addressing these goals and concerns
  • Begin planning a framework for potential Tribally led initiatives.
