Abstract: The Kodiak Archipelago Youth Area Watch is an ongoing community involvement project designed to engage students in projects with goals aligned with the general restoration efforts of the Trustee Council. Students and site coordinators will conduct interviews with local experts and document TEK, while taking part in locally relevant research projects. Participation of KAYAW adults and students in the annual Academy of Elders/Science Camp will be strongly encouraged. Participants will share their research during regional gatherings and within District publications. Such participation will serve as another avenue for more tribal members to learn about restoration efforts, scientific monitoring techniques, and occupations related to such work. Students will explore local knowledge as it relates to marine mammal populations, inter-tidal environment, and the impact of humans on the coastal environment, human use overtime and intergenerational changes and cultural beliefs and practices that may provide insight in scientific studies. Student interns will be hired during the summer months to work directly with archaeologists and anthropologists in a community archeological dig in coordination with the Alutiiq Museum. The value and implications of TEK will be strongly emphasized throughout the implementation of the KAYAW project.
