Native Science Field Centers

The Native Science Field Centers (NSFC) offer year-round environmental science field programs that integrate traditional ways of knowing, Native language and Western science methods. There are three Native Science Field Centers, one on the Blackfeet Reservation in collaboration with Blackfeet Community College, one on the Wind River Reservation in collaboration with Fremont County School District No. 21, and one on the Pine Ridge Reservation in collaboration with Oglala Lakota College. A local director and Community Advisory Board administer each Center. The NSFCs engage youth and adults in outdoor science and cultural programs to encourage their long-term involvement with their environment. The NSFCs are made possible with generous support from the National Science Foundation and the Bush Foundation.
