Abstract
This is a working paper produced as part of National Science Foundation project #2115169, “Transforming Rural-Urban Systems: Trajectories for Sustainability in the Intermountain West,” known as the “Intermountain West Transformation Network” (TN), led by the University of New Mexico with institutional partners at three additional universities in New Mexico, two in Arizona, and one each in Utah, Colorado, and Washington. The TN’s Indigenous and Tribal engagement was supported through a contract with Dr. Sharon Hausam, additional work by Aaron M. Canter, coordination with Dr. Lani Tsinnajinnie, and an Advisory Committee on Indigenous Information Needs primarily comprised of Indigenous representatives in New Mexico. The project framed the potential for benefits to Indigenous and Tribal communities and considered needs for available but inaccessible information as well as new research to fill gaps in information. It recognized that the process of co-production of research by communities and researchers is inherently relational and that all partners have responsibilities associated with sharing information. The working paper includes diagrams developed for this project to reflect and share these concepts.
