OVERVIEW

ABOUT THE PARTNER ORGANIZATION(S)

Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps: The Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps (ALCC) is a local program of Conserva tion Legacy (CL) which is an accredited 21st Century Service Corps and a longstanding non-profit focused on collaborative conservation through the employment of youth, young adults, and military veterans on public and tribal lands throughout the country. Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps also serves as a model for the Indian Youth Service Corps (see DOI Press Release), which Secretary Deb Haaland announced earlier this year in partnership with ALCC, Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, and Capacity Builders. Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps has “in community” programs based in Acoma Pueblo, Albuquerque, the Hopi Tribe, the Navajo Nation, and Zuni Pueblo. This year, ALCC operated 30 crews and 12 Individual Placements (Interns) in partnership with NPS, engaging more than 150 participants: 28 Crew Leaders, 80 paid crew members, and 25 unpaid

LEADING OUR NATIONS BACK TO ECOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL WELL-BEING

.

Hiking Club members. ALCC has worked with Native American communities, state, local and non-profit agency partners to pro vide economic opportunity, technical skills training, personal and professional development, cultural re-connection, and healing opportunities since our inception in 2008. 2022 marks the sec ond year that the Ancestral Lands program is being recognized as a full-fledged Conservation Corps program of Conservation Legacy.

Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps was created in 2008 in the Pueblo of Acoma by a community member who saw the poten tial that conservation corps had to offer to his local community. Over the years, ALCC has grown and evolved to expand to oth er Indigenous communities and has partnered with conservation corps across the country to help catalyze new opportunities for Indigenous youth and young adults in conservation. We were modeled off conventional conservation corps programs, tracing our lineage to the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930’s and 1940’s. We have worked to tailor our program model to meet the needs, strengths, and opportunities unique to Indigenous

OVERVIEW

communities, and to meet our participants where they are by removing barriers to their participation and success. While we still have much work to do to expand the definition of conser vation to include urban and rural Indigenous communities, we are proud of what we have accomplished and look forward to growing and deepening the impact we have on the lives of Indigenous young people and communities.

Current ALCC projects include cultural reconnection, historic preservation, traditional agriculture, habitat restoration, youth hiking clubs, stream restoration, fence construction, trail con struction, high school equivalency degree program, and more. The Ancestral Lands program aims to incorporate cultural recon nection and resurgence as well as personal and professional development. Our vision is to lead our Nations back to ecologi cal and cultural well-being.

Arizona Conservation Corps (AZCC): Arizona Conservation Corps is a program of Conservation Legacy, is the result of a merger of the Coconino Rural Environment Corps, White Moun tain Youth Corps and the Southwest Conservation Corps—So noran Desert. AZCC operates a variety of urban and camping conservation corps programs across Arizona from offices in Tucson and Flagstaff. Arizona Conservation Corps’ ’s success is largely due to having a staff of dedicated individuals who oversee operations. On average AZCC has 30 staff supporting crew-based operations.

Arizona Conservation Corps is a non-profit AmeriCorps con servation program with a mission to engage individuals and strengthen communities through service and conservation. We are dedicated to supporting locally based conservation service programs. Conservation Legacy operates and supports pro grams that provide service and work opportunities for a diverse group of individuals to complete important conservation and community projects for the public benefit.

Northwest Youth Corps: Since 1984, Northwest Youth Corps (NYC), a non-profit organization, has given tens of thousands of youth and young adults opportunities to learn, grow, and experi ence success. Through partnerships with conservation agen cies, youth and young adults gain the personal and professional skills needed to carry out a variety of stewardship projects, from which they can earn a stipend, high school credit, and/or an AmeriCorps educational award. More importantly, these young people gain skills needed to become economically and socially self-sufficient, benefit their communities as citizen stewards, and recognize that they can make a positive difference. NYC also operates an accredited charter school, internship program, and the Idaho Conservation Corps (ICC).

COVID-19 MITIGATION:

The global pandemic has continued to have pronounced im pacts on Native American Nations and peoples. These impacts have extended to the Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps, Arizona Conservation Corps, Northwest Youth Corps, and other corps programs. Higher than average rates of COVID-19 in the Navajo Nation, Pueblo of Zuni, and other communities have led

to increased travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders, while the Pueblo of Acoma has taken a similarly protective approach to try and preemptively protect its people. While Native Nations have led in the distribution of vaccines, not all neighboring com munities have followed suit, leading some Nations to preemp tively close their borders or to restrict travel within their borders to try and stop the spread of COVID-19 from outside sources.

Recruitment has proven particularly challenging as the pandem ic continues. While we do not have any empirical data from our participants, anecdotal data indicates reluctance in our commu nities to take the risk of going back to work, leading many of our program offices to postpone or cancel crews due to not being able to recruit and select enough participants. Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps has had to postpone numerous crews and we have canceled six crews due to either a lack of applications to the program or due to community concerns of safety due to the pandemic. We were not able to operate Hiking Clubs in the Pueblos of Acoma and Zuni this year because of concerns for the safety and well-being of youth in those communities.

One of the biggest impacts of the pandemic has been the ability of our program to pivot to provide relief efforts that directly ben efit our communities. We have worked with the Navajo – Hopi COVID-19 Relief Fund, Hopi Foundation, National Forest Foun dation, Red Feather Development Group, United States Forest Service, La Plazita Institute, Albuquerque Foundation, Conser vation Lands Foundation, and other agencies and non-profits to respond directly to the pandemic in support of our communities. This work has included establishing a fuelwood processing and delivery program and staffing a resource distribution facility in Hopi, helping to provide free, locally grown organic food to low-income residents in Albuquerque, and teaching youth how to grow their own gardens in Acoma. It has long been our goal to provide more programs that bring the benefits of our work directly to our communities. Due to these impacts and the delay it has caused for ALCC and our partners to implement programs in 2021 and 2022, this report includes programs operated with WASO 2020, 2021, and 2022 agreements (P20AC00397, P21AC10242, and P22AC01366, respectively). We plan to close agreement P20AC00397 this year, and will utilize the funding re maining on agreements P21AC10242 and P22AC01366 in 2023.

PROGRAM

SUCCESS

2022 has continued to provide opportunities for growth through challenge, reflection, and innovation. This year has seen the continuation of the global COVID-19 pandemic, major economic disruption, and major fracturing of the American social fabric. Despite major impacts to our country and the Native Nations that we serve, and subsequently to our program, Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps will complete and partner with Arizo na Conservation Corps, Appalachian Conservation Corps, and Northwest Youth Corps/Idaho Conservation Corps to complete more than 35 projects, totaling over 100 weeks, at 20 different NPS units throughout the country through direct support from the National Park Service’s Youth Programs Division (WASO).

COVID-19 continues to affect Indigenous populations and com munities disproportionately hard. Tribes and Pueblos have led the nation in vaccination efforts, seeing higher rates of vaccina tion compared to neighboring non-Indigenous communities, but many Nations re-instituted stay-at-home orders, travel restric tions, curfews, and other measures to try and slow the spread of the virus. Recruitment has proven more challenging this year compared to previous years, and corps programs have had to postpone and even cancel hitches, entire crews, and Individual Placement positions due to low recruitment numbers or at the request of partners.

Despite being impacted in our personal and professional lives at every level of the program, our participants, staff, and partners have shown great persistence and resilience and have con tinued to implement a wide array of innovative programming, including continuing a Wood for Life program delivering fire wood in the Hopi Nation. Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps has also partnered with EcoCulture, the National Forest Founda tion, the Arbor Day Foundation, and The Nature Conservancy to pilot an accredited Ecological Restoration that provides unique opportunities for Indigenous crew members to earn college credit while participating in national service, removing barriers to postsecondary education and preparing our participants for success in colleges and universities. This year, ALCC partnered with Northwest Youth Crops, Arizona Conservation Corps, the Wabanaki Youth in Science (WaYS) program, and the Appala chian Conservation Corps.

Northwest Youth Corps Tribal Stewards program is designed to help Native American youth and young adults learn, grow, and experience success. The program employs an adventure-based format in which participants spend five to eight weeks camping while completing important conservation service work through out Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. The young adult program is designed to serve young people ages 19 to 26. Members earn a living allowance and an AmeriCorps Education award (or high school credit for youth participants) will gain workforce skills in the resource management field. Members benefit from field trips, conversations with resource management professionals, and participation in culturally enriching education curriculum while in the program. The goal is to introduce participants to a variety of environmental careers throughout the program. Proj ects may include wildlife monitoring, fence construction, habitat survey, water quality monitoring, and recreation infrastructure maintenance.

PROGRAM SUCCESS

Arizona Conservation Corps engaged native and indigenous young adults in conservation service work on NPS lands. The programs’ goal was to engage a diverse group of youth and young adults in critical resource management work. Arizona Conservation Corps’ intent is to inspire and re-connect Native youth to improve and restore Ancestral lands by increasing the health of the ecosystems that sustain them and increasing our corps members’ interest and ability to pursue further education or a career in resource management.

WASO funding has supported our ability to hire and train indige nous young people in multiple communities across the country. This support from WASO allows us to leverage funds to maxi mize participants’ experience. In addition to projects completed utilizing funding from WASO, Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps and our partners will complete 25 NPS projects at 16 different NPS units and 25 additional non-NPS partners, includ ing the Pueblo of Zuni, Zuni Youth Enrichment Program, Bureau of Indian Affairs, United States Forest Service and multiple state and municipal agencies, as well as philanthropic organizations. Funding from the Youth Programs Division will support 162 paid positions in 202 and an additional 110 positions in 2023.

The Captain John Smith Chesapeake NHT, in coordination with Colonial NHP, developed the Werowocomoco Ancestral Lands Corps programming to allow participants to rotate through the various divisions that operate the park: Administration, Facilities, Visitor & Resource Protection, Visitor Experience & Community Engagement and Resources, Science & Stewardship. The par ticipants are exposed to the myriad careers available in the NPS and learn valuable skills while assigned to each division. Addi

tional opportunities for research and archeology were available through our partners as were other trainings.

Our target recruitment was our Virginia tribal partners, with an ancestral connection to Werowocomoco, an NPS property managed by the trail and significant for its history as a Native place of leadership in tidewater Virginia. However, the positions were open to all indigenous youth and were widely advertised by Conservation Legacy and the NPS to multiple tribal youth or ganizations with national followings, local college-based groups as well as our tribal partners not located in Virginia. Positions were posted on LinkedIn and other job search sites and listed multiple times on our social media channels.

The intended impact of the program is to provide an exploratory experience of National Park Service careers and help individual placements develop skills that they could apply to the future management of Werowocomoco. With the PLC hiring authority that comes with successful completion of the program, we hope to use the alumni of this program to fill future part-time and fulltime positions with the trail.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

WEROWOCOMOCO

The Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail’s Werowocomoco Ancestral Lands Corps is comprised of three individual placements which includes one lead position. 2022 marks our third class and we created the lead position as a means of having a peer leader to assist the new placements with peer guidance.

Werowocomoco is an important Virginia Indian site along the York River. More than 400 years before English settlers estab lished Jamestown, Werowocomoco had been an important Powhatan Indian town. Werowocomoco, translated from the Virginia Algonquian language, means “place of leadership”. As an archaeological site, Werowocomoco was confirmed in 2002, nearly 400 years after the Indian leader paramount chief Powha tan and his people interacted with Jamestown leaders here and at Jamestown. Werowocomoco.

During October and November 2021, one lead intern and two other interns continued their service work and completed their terms for year two of the Werowocomoco Individual Placement Program. During their time, they shadowed each department of the Colonial National Historical Park to be educated on natural and cultural resource management, and then took their skills to apply to Werowocomoco.

One of the interns accepted the lead intern position for the 2022 program and returned for a second term. During the re mainder of the reporting period, the lead intern continued work at Werowocomoco in relation to cultural and natural resource management including land surveying, geographical surveys, archaeology, and shoreline rehabilitation.

Werowocomoco was a space of importance for many of the eastern Virginia tribes for generations. Now that the location has been rediscovered, it has been able to bring together Virginia tribes as well as the federal government and local non-profits, all with the same goal of conserving and learning more about the area. The Individual Placement program hires young indigenous community members to be a part of the project, bringing their own cultural identity and skills to the project, and taking away lessons that they can apply to other jobs relating to tribal land management.

This project created four jobs for young people who are getting their start in the conservation field. Members are paid above minimum wage and will put money back into the local community.

The goal of this project is to engage Virginia’s tribes in the rediscovery and protection of Werowocomoco, a historic native place along the York River. The Individual Placement program recruits and hires with a preference towards people who identify as indigenous to ensure that their experience and perspectives are helping guide the project. Environmental work such as coastline rehabilitation, invasive species removal, and geo graphical surveys are being done with consultation from local tribal groups.

Through first hand experience, training, professional develop ment, and certifications, this project helps to develop future conservation leaders passionate about the environment and addressing the issues affecting it.

“I now have gained more of a cultural background that I didn’t have going into the program,” says individual placement Kalen Anderson. “I now have a shift in focus for environmental science for my area of studies in the future. I want to work with my tribe in doing active shoreline restoration and management. The pro gram has provided me with the resources and people that will always be available for any needed guidance going forward in my career. I would tell anyone interested in what I do to network and be open to anyone willing to educate, help, or offer their personal skills and knowledge.”

Of Kalen’s time at Werowocomoco, his supervisor Christine Lucero says “He is eager to share his knowledge—whether it be cultural or technical —with anyone he comes into contact with. You can tell how deeply he cares about his heritage and the land in which he wants to take care of. Kalen is already extreme ly involved with his tribe, the Nansemond, and throughout this internship, he absorbed a variety of knowledge from the various projects and trainings through a lens of how it can be applied within his tribal community.”

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

ARIZONA CONSERVATION CORPS’ TOHONO O’ODHAM CREW

In the fall of 2021 Conservation Legacy, Arizona Conservation Corps in partnership with Casa Grande Ruins National Monu ment (CAGR) worked together to provide Native young adults with training and project work experiences that addressed main tenance of prehistoric and historic resources at the National Monument while exposing the members to current techniques in historic preservation.

During this first two-week hitch the crew restored adobe on the park historic structures and constructed soil beds for future pollinator plants. The crew spent another 10 weeks working with park staff and volunteers to repair and restore various park structures. The crew continued the restoration of adobe ruins, made pottery, encapsulated two large rooms in the compound adjacent to the Great House, and installed six garden beds.

This project engaged young adults from the Tohono O’odham Nation in cultural project activities that exposed them to ele ments of their history and culture. It also provided participants an opportunity to learn and receive hands on training in various aspects of management and historic preservation within the NPS system. These historic preservation skills are badly needed as the agency loses technical expertise and cultural knowledge through retirements and attrition.

This project meets the public purpose in several ways. The Tohono O’odham crew received training in the principles of the Standards of Historic Preservation with NPS staff. Participants participated in a workshop conducted by Cornerstone Com munity Partnership and learned hands-on traditional trades and skills on historic park resources. This work benefits the park re sources and the public by getting work done on the backlogged and cyclic maintenance on the parks prehistoric and historic earthen architecture.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

WABANAKI YOUTH IN SCIENCE PROGRAM (WAYS) PARTNERSHIPS

The Wabanaki Youth in Science (WaYS) Ancestral Lands (AL) crew serves the Native youth population here in Maine. With the goal to create a long-term opportunity for crew members within the NPS system, we integrated the WaYS and Conservation Legacy (CL) models together to create a long-term opportunity for AL crew internships. To have success, several critical steps needed to be developed to have a sustainable program to ben efit Native youth in Maine. Paramount for the AL crew is incorpo rating traditional Indigenous cultures and languages as part of the crew lifestyle and project work on Tribal ancestral lands. For many Native youth, this is a critical, but missing, component for them in their educational journey.

Tribal community support included Penobscot Nation (PN), Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians (HBMI), Mi’qmak Nation, and Passamaquoddy Tribe. The Tribal community support and Cul tural Knowledge Sharers (CKS) that support, nurture and mentor our team members provides the backbone to our success with our crew members.

National Park Service (NPS) agency support included Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument (KAWW) and Acadia Na tional Park (ANP). Specifically WaYS is incredibly grateful for NPS staff David Goldstein (Region 1 NPS TCA Program), Mark Wimmer (Superintendent, KAWW) and Becky Cole-Will (Cultural Resource Specialist, ANP) incredible support for this program.

Additional agency support comes from Conservation Legacy and National Park Foundation (NPF). Ron Hassel (Partnership Director, Conservation Legacy) and Tracey Ritchie (NPF) provid ed immense guidance as WaYS moved into our third year of the program.

None of this amazing work though could not have happened without Friends of Katahdin Woods and Waters (FKWW). This community organization has been working with WaYS since our first year and continues to work tirelessly to support our team. The depth of knowledge provided the first year to help us truly get our “feet on the ground” has increased as our crew grows

and learns. The relationship that has been built at the organiza tional level and the team level is a strength and critical compo nent for WaYS AL crew success. In particular, Kala Rush, (Educa tion Director, FKWW) has been an integral part of WaYS AL crew growth the last three years. The key has been the relationship that has developed over time. WaYS is indebted to the time and flexibility this organization has provided as WaYS AL crew and staff learns and grows.

The WaYS AL program took a major step forward in this third year. WaYS hired a full-time crew leader (Benjamin Collette) in April. This decision was not one taken quickly or lightly but made after thoughtful discussions with Conservation Legacy corps in the east and southwest. WaYS is unique in many ways, but paramount for our youth is a long-term continuum. We could not sustain this with 6-month appointments for our crew leader. This structure did not benefit our youth nor our desire for this program to have sustainability and returning crew members. With support from CL and NPF, we have been able to secure the funding for this position. It has made a huge difference with recruitment (two crew members returned so that was 50% of our team returning) plus we had no attrition this year. Which was huge. Building and sustaining relationships is our primary goal (besides safety)!

As a part of the building and sustaining relationships is the integration of Indigenous Knowledge into the crew’s work. This is truly what makes WaYS program a model for other AL crews on a national level but is what provides a foundation for our crew members and enhances their learning on a local level. All of the lands that the crew works on are former Ancestral lands. It is important that Native youth understand the connection to the

land and the importance this had historically but also today and in the future. There were a number of opportunities to do this at KAWW through an archeology dig and interpretive work the crew did along with staff from Penobscot Nation who participat ed during a water ecology session. Similarly, while at ANP, crew members participated in an archeology workshop hosted by Schoodic Institute with speaker Dr. Bonnie Newsom (Citizen of the Penobscot Nation, faculty Dept. of Anthropology, University of Maine). There was also a week-long immersion with CKS Jen Neptune along the Penobscot River.

Katahdin Woods and Water National Monument (KAWW) has an immense amount of existing trail systems, as well as vast forest land historically known to be Wabanaki ancestral lands. Working in concert with KAWW and FKWW educators, WaYS third year continues to build off of the prior years’ successes.

Future and Pilot programs

Please indicate if you plan to pilot new programs in the coming years or if you can leverage the programming completed this year to create new opportunities/programs in future years

In the coming months, our main focus will be recruitment. Having a full-time crew leader with established relationships with crew members, we are hoping that this will translate into developing an additional crew that could potentially work in one of the other two national park areas in Maine, St. Croix Island International Historic Site or Appalachian National Scenic Trail, lead by one of our returning crew members. There is also the Allagash Wilder ness Waterway as a potential site.

Second, we are looking to create a full-time CKS position that can work with the crew during their summer schedule as well as on a year-round basis with crew members to help keep them engaged and interested in returning to AL crew. The continuity and relationships that can be built with the addition of this per son would be substantial.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

ANCESTRAL LANDS CONSERVATION CORPS RIVERS, TRAILS, AND CONSERVATION ASSISTANCE (RTCA)

Catherine Webb completed a rigorous internship with RTCA to connect with Indigenous communities in the Northeastern United States. This internship was designed to help the RTCA program build an awareness of the diversity of Northeast Indige nous communities and understand the intersections of tradition al ecological knowledge, outdoor recreation, and land access for Indigenous groups. Recommendations developed over the internship identify opportunities for RTCA assistance to support Indigenous communities.

The RTCA program is focused on providing technical assistance to help communities develop conservation and outdoor recre ation projects. IN many cases, this leads to the development of community resources that help generate tourism and outdoor economy opportunities for local communities. This position is also eligible for Direct Hiring Authority since it is considered a rigorous internship. Catherine Webb is eligible for DHA, and is considering working with the Department of the Interior after completing a Bachelor’s degree program at Yale.

Catherine worked with RTCA to build awareness of the diversity of Northeast Indigenous Communities and to understand the intersections of traditional knowledge, outdoor recreation, and land access for Indigenous peoples. Catherine’s recommenda tions help RTCA to better support Indigenous communities and build lasting relationships.

“I came to this internship with the RTCA program after thinking about how to serve Indigenous communities in a public service career. I am committed to being a good ancestor and advocat ing for Indigenous food sovereignty. Public service is being a good ancestor and making things better for the next genera tions. My understanding of service has expanded to include governmental work rather than only community-based and vol unteering efforts. I would tell people to look into this program if they are interested in community-based work. I see myself more interested in understanding different forms of land management and ownership, and am paying attention to this more. I am also more appreciative of the role of outdoor recreation and access to land in community health. I see myself working in public ser vice in the future,” reflects Catherine.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

ANCESTRAL LANDS CONSERVATION CORPS NATIVE CONSERVATION CORPS

This program provides opportunities to Indigenous youth for ca reer shadowing in natural resource stewardship and protection, along with recreational experiences at multiple National Park Service (NPS) units including El Malpais National Monument, El Morro National Monument, Petrified Forest National Park, and Grand Canyon National Park. Two crews consisting of Hopi, Diné (Navajo), and Pueblo of Isleta youth worked for 7 weeks each, completing important conservation and citizen science projects at the parks, including trail maintenance at ELMA’s El Calderon Trail, aquatic insect surveys, monitoring bat activity, collecting dragonfly larvae, removing noxious weeds, and assisting GRCA nursery staff. The program’s highlight was a 10-day motorized boat trip down the Colorado River in GRCA.

This program helps the community by brining Indigenous young people to National Parks, usually for the first time, to learn about these culturally significant areas, careers with the NPS, and to complete important conservation projects. Reconnecting these young people with the lands helps them develop their con servation ethics and affinity for natural spaces and helps them explore careers in natural and cultural resources.

“Few Indigenous youth are able to journey to Grand Canyon for many reasons, including barriers to transportation, financial means, and accessibility. Our goal through the Native Conser vation Corps is to provide a pathway to bring under served Indigenous youth to Grand Canyon and involve them in con servation projects in an effort to keep their legacy as stewards alive and well,” states Ed Keable, Grand Canyon National Park Superintendent.

Working in partnership with NPS and the University of Penn sylvania, and with funding from the Getty Foundation and NPS, ALCC crews will work to stabilize and protect Ancestral sites at Wupatki National Monument. This is a three-year grant and will not only engage the participants in preservation, but will also include mentor ship from UPenn and NPS staff in career oppor tunities in historic preservation. As descendants of the original builders of these sites, it also brings Zuni participants back to a culturally significant site that their ancestors created generations ago.

ALCC has worked to develop a relationship with the Zuni Tribe and the Zuni Cultural Resource Advisory Team (ZCRAT). Work ing at sites like WUPA provides the lineal descendants of the original architects and builders of these sites the opportunity to direct and inform the practices and approaches taken to protect them. ALCC crew members connect with important sites, make prayers to their ancestors; and learn from cultural advisors and experts as well as academic and agency professionals.

As described in the article, NPS has not always utilized culturally appropriate methods to preserve and protect Ancestral Indige nous sites. By working with Tribal officials (Zuni Administration, ZCRAT) and bringing descendants of the original builders of these sites to work on them, we are ensuring that Indigenous methods and perspectives are utilized in protecting these sites. This work entails much more than just adding mortar or replacing stones, and when ALCC participants commune with the site and their ancestors, it centers their lifeways and original teachings.

This project is even more critical in the face of a dramatically changing climate. The extreme weather events and changes to local weather patterns are impacting the Ancestral sites at WUPA. The crews worked alongside NPS staff and University of Pennsylvania faculty and graduate students to stabilize the site to better withstand severe weather events.

WUPATKI NATIONAL MONUMENT

PIPESTONE

Pipestone National Monument is working with affiliated Tribes and partners to foster opportunities for Indigenous youth to be stewards of this important cultural and spiritual site. Conserva tion Legacy provides program support through Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps Internship positions, technical guidance and expertise, and networking. Two former Ancestral Lands Interns are now full-time park employees and are instrumental in grow ing programs for Native youth.

In FY22, two Indigenous YCC interns worked alongside our Natural Resources and Interpretation teams. Geography and the lack of lodging/camping arrangements continue to be a chal lenge in trying to expand this program to more geographically distant tribal partners. With the involvement of Conservation Legacy and the Yankton Sioux Tribe, we are hoping to engage the Conservation Corps of Minnesota and Iowa in this important work. In addition, field trips for younger kids are opportunities to build awareness and interest in future YCC and internship opportunities.

Leveraging support from the National Park Foundation, youth visited for special culturally relevant field trips from the Chey enne River Youth Project, Lower Sioux Indian Community, and Sioux Falls Public Schools American Indian Student Programs. We are looking forward to filling another Ancestral Lands In ternship position to expand these programs and continue the pipeline of talent from service to NPS careers.

The El Morro Headlands Trail project is a multi-year undertak ing and funding has increased to complete the renovated path. Current stakeholders include National Park Trust, The Fund for People in Parks, and El Morro National Monument. ALCC will dedicate two more crews to 12 weeks of work in the fall and will resume the project in the spring of 2022. Total leveraged nonWASO dollars was $152,350 from El Morro National Monument, The Fund for People in Parks, The National Parks Foundation, and the National Park Trust.

Northwest Youth Corps and Chemewa Indian School partnered together to provide a conservation service learning oppor tunity for Native American students who attend the school. Ten Chemawa students signed up for the six-week immersive experience. The goal of the program is to introduce Native American students to different types of resource management career pathways while providing hands on skill development in the work of conservation. Participants camp together, travel together, and work together for six straight weeks. Two of these weeks were spent in National Park Service sites. The program includes education curriculum and leadership development. When these students finish the program, they know they have accomplished something much larger than they could have on their own.

Lewis and Clark National Historic Park

The crew worked on the Yeon unit doing invasive plant removal focusing on scotch broom. The crew removed scotch broom from a total of 5 acres at the park. The crew also worked with park staff to help set up a 100x100x100x100 meter transit which they used to survey trash on the Oregon shore/beach.

John Day Fossil Beds National Monument

The crew engaged in both trail work and invasive plant remov al. They constructed 425 ft of new trail tread and restored a 1.3 acres parcel in the park through the removal of invasive plants.

We hope to leverage the success of the 2022 program to ex pand it in 2023. In 2022, the Chemawa Indian School was only at 20% enrollment due to COVID restrictions on the dormitories. Our hope is that they are at 100% attendance again next year and we can operate three crews.

FUTURE PROJECTS

FUTURE AND PILOT PROGRAMS

Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps

Historic Preservation Training Center, Traditional Trades Apprenticeship Program (TTAP)

Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps partnered with Stewards (a program of Conservation Legacy), Historic Preservation Training Center (HPTC), and El Morro National Monument to place two TTAP apprentices in 2022 and will look to expand this model to other parks in 2023. Participants will gain certifications, experience in, and direct mentorship from NPS professional to prepare them for careers in the historic preservation field. This program builds upon ALCC’s Historic Preservation program, Stewards’ experience partnering with HTPC, and the TTAP program to engage Indigenous young people in this innovative career preparedness program.

This is the second year of our collaboration with Dr. Kevin Grady, Associate Research Professor at Northern Arizona University’s School of Forestry to implement an Ecological Restoration Certificate Program. WASO funding has been utilized to fund on-the-ground restoration projects at Wupatki National Monument, Canyon de Chelly National Monument, and Bryce Canyon National Park. Participants will earn credits at NAU as well as an industry recognized certificate in Ecological Restoration. We will continue to work with Dr. Grady to refine the program and look forward to increasing the number of credits participants earn in as well as the connections they gain to careers in the field.

Northwest Youth Corps

We plan to continue and expand the Tribal Stewards program next year. The challenges of COVID-19 on Tribal communities and the NPS system limited the size and scale of the offerings. We anticipate doing a better job at placing crews closer to their traditional homelands as we expand the NPS sites that we partner with. This will help reduce some challenges that can occur related to historical conflicts between neighboring tribal entities. The changes we would like to see next season is access to more culturally relevant sites for our young people. Working with this particular community, going into the future, the initial sites will be assessed to reflect the needs for these Tribal young people. What works: instilling responsibility of a landscape which is culturally meaningful, tying in the historical context which brings a Tribal young person “home”. Coupling this need with meaningful work which helps the overall landscape and the participants’ experience.

Arizona Conservation Corps

This funding has allowed Arizona Conservation Corps to grow in Ancestral Lands programming and apply for additional funding with our partners, most notably the Catena Foundation. The grant awarded through the Catena Foundation will allow AZCC to focus on partnering with San Carlos, White Mountain Apache, Colorado River Indian Tribes and Cocopah to pilot programs related to Indian Youth Service Corps (IYSC). Indigenous communities have disproportionate rates of unemployment, poverty, and high school dropout which have been exacerbated by the pandemic. Opportunities in workforce and leadership development, education, and connections to careers in conservation are urgently needed in these communities. AZCC is qualified to implement this program due to its history of conservation service programs; partnering with tribes, government agencies and local partners; and providing Native youth, young adults and veterans with education and employment opportunities.

We are currently exploring the possibility of expanding the 3-person program from 23 weeks to a 52-week program.

PARTNER AND PARTICIPANT QUOTES

CATHERNIE WEBB, INDIVIDUAL PLACEMENT

‘I came to this internship with the RTCA program after thinking about how to serve Indigenous communities in a public service career. I am committed to being a good ancestor and advocating for Indigenous food sovereignty. Public service is being a good ancestor and making things better for the next generations. My understanding of service has expanded to include governmental work rather than only community-based and volunteering efforts. I would tell people to look into this program if they are interested in community-based work. I see myself more interested in understanding different forms of land management and ownership, and am paying attention to this more. I am also more appreciative of the role of outdoor recreation and access to land in community health. I see myself working in public service in the future.’

BECKY COLE-WILL, PARTNER

‘Acadia National Park is immensely pleased to partici pate in the WaYs program. The inclusion of Wabanaki youth in park project for trail building and vegetation management enhances our programs, and supports shared goals of youth engagement and stewardship with the Wabanaki Nations.’

BEN, CREW MEMBER

‘Building the bog walk was a lot of work but it turned out really well. I liked the canoe trip along the Penobscot, I learned a lot. Getting back out in nature and enjoying my time with the crew has been a great experience, along with seeing all of the unique areas of Maine.’

TRACEY RITCHIE, NATIONAL PARK FOUNDA TION, FUNDING PARTNER

‘I had the great privilege to see first hand, not only the tremendous impact these youth have on the park, but the impact they have on each other and how they are growing as individuals. Incorporating cultural knowl edge sharers into conservation practices and field work helps crew members, crew leaders and park staff (from seasonal to superintendent) understand and appreciate the complex yet beautiful ways in which we are all connected to the land and how we can do our part to care for and protect our resources’

KALA RUSH, PARTNER

‘The 2022 Ancestral Lands Trail crew participated in a number of activities that incor porated the goals of Wabana ki Youth in Science and the National Park Service. Crew participants worked alongside Cultural Knowledge Keepers, Tribal Historic Preservation Officers, the National Park Service, and Park partners to better understand the need to protect and preserve the natural places in National Park Units. Some of these activities included water quality testing, archaeological digs, portage trail revitalizations, trail head improvements, invasive spe cies eradication, and cultural community events. Thanks to this crew, a variety of projects were advanced and education al opportunities were made possible, not only for the crew, but also for other tribal youth in Maine.’

MATTHEW COOEYATE, CREW LEADER

‘Coming back to these dwell ings, you get that energy. Like the people are still here ... you can feel their presence when the clouds come and the rains. You just get the feeling of your ancestors saying, ‘Thank you’.

KALEN ANDERSON, INDIVIDUAL PLACEMENT

‘I now have gained more of a cultural background that I didn’t have going into the pro gram. I now have a shift in fo cus for environmental science for my area of studies in the future. I want to work with my tribe in doing active shoreline restoration and management. The program has provided me with the resources and people that will always be available for any needed guidance going forward in my career. I would tell anyone interested in what I do to network and be open to anyone willing to educate, help, or offer their personal skills and knowledge.’

CHRISTINE LUCERO, PARTNER

‘Kalen is eager to share his knowledge—whether it be cul tural or technical —with anyone he comes into contact with. You can tell how deeply he cares about his heritage and the land in which he wants to take care of. Kalen is already extremely involved with his tribe, the Nansemond, and throughout this internship, he absorbed a variety of knowl edge from the various projects and trainings through a lens of how it can be applied within his tribal community.’

CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION

Momentum continues to build across the nation to engage Indigenous young people and center Indigenous voices in conservation. Secretary Deb Haaland, an Indigenous woman, now leads the United States Department of the Interior and has committed to supporting and growing opportu nities for Indigenous young people to participate in programs like Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps through the Indian Youth Service Corps initiative; Charles Sams, an Indigenous Navy veter an, now leads the National Park Service as Director; more Native Americans than ever are gaining political office. There has never been more opportunity and support from federal agencies and partners to build upon and expand the innovative, community-based work that the Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps has led the way in developing. We are excited to continue to partner with Indigenous communities and other conservation corps programs across the country to seed and catalyze programs to expand the positive impact that corps programs have in the lives of Indige nous youth and young adults and in Indigenous communities.

Ancestral Lands Conservaion Corps has long cooperated with corps partners to share the lessons we have learned to support development of new programs outside of our service area, to see a ripple effect across our Indigenous Nations and communities, creating opportunities for healing, re connection to the land, professional development, national service, and to lead our Nations back to ecological and cultural well-being. As more programs shift their focus to incorporate programs that engage Indigenous young people and partner with Tribes and Pueblos, it is critical that ALCC’s phi losophy and approach are utilized and tailored to local communities to ensure that partnerships are authentic and meet the needs of the communities who help to expand this work. Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps has long prioritized hiring local champions from the communities that we serve and to work within the community to create programs based on their needs and strengths. Conser vation corps work is innately difficult work, and the unique challenges that disproportionately affect Indigenous youth, young adults, and communities compound the challenges involved with running these programs. These challenges make operating programs that center our cultures, wisdom, and experiences all the more critical, but it is imperative that programs new to this work take a hum ble, community-centered approach that allows for revamping of the conventional corps models to remove barriers to participation and success of Indigenous young people in corps programs.

For the Werowocomoco program, we are looking at ways to fund and grow the program. Currently, placements serve either a 22 or 26 week term; we would like to extend these positions to 50 or 52-week positions. We are seeking additional funding through PMIS and potentially through a Phil anthropic Partnership Agreement with our principal non-profit partner, the Chesapeake Conservan cy. This change in term length is based on feedback from past and current participants. They feel the are “just getting started” when the time comes to conclude the placement. We would welcome supplemental funds to expand the program through other sources in addition to those outlined above.

As opportunities like the Indian Youth Service Corps, Civilian Climate Corps, and the Great Ameri can Outdoors Act continue to develop and prioritize engaging Indigenous young people, it will be critical that we come together to share ideas, best practices, and strategize the creation of new programs that meet the needs of Tribes and Indigenous young people while promoting national service, reconnection to the land and culture, and preparing our young people for success as the next generation of land managers, environmental guardians, and leaders. Ancestral Lands Conser vation Corps looks forward to working with communities to create lasting, positive change and to the opportunities to expand the definition of conservation to include Indigenous lifeways, world views, and wisdom.
