NAT 300 Indigenous Land Stewardship
How are natural resources managed, and how is agriculture practiced on Tribal lands in Wisconsin? Faculty from Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe University, College of Menominee Nation, and University of Wisconsin-Madison Forest and Wildlife Ecology, Data Science Institute and Earth Partnership will partner in providing a one-credit, one-week immersive summer field course in northern Wisconsin for students from the three colleges. Through site-based field excursions, discussions and group assignments, students will learn about agriculture, forestry, wildlife, agriculture, and other natural resources on Tribal lands. As part of the field course, students will collaborate on a research project. Costs for travel, shared overnight accommodation and meals are included in tuition. At Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe University this is a 1 credit lab course = 30 hrs. field instruction.
