Indigenizing Salmon Science and Management	3/19/2025		The Indigenizing Salmon Science and Management project is centered on Indigenous cosmologies and methodologies to better understand the historical and contemporary ways in which Alaska Native people stewarded salmon, incorporating values and providing ideas to improve current management practices and systems. Indigenous people have stewarded Alaska lands and waters for thousands of years yet have been largely excluded from science and management systems that fail to advance Indigenous self-governance initiatives. This project uses a highly participatory approach through facilitating circle dialogues, conducting semi-directed interviews with individuals and multigenerational fishing families. Respect, reciprocity, responsibility, and relational accountability are used as some of the many guiding principles in this work. This talk will share some of the values, strengths, governance mechanisms, and experiences about salmon management in Alaska and provide a path forward from Indigenous perspectives. Presenters: Jessica Black, Courtney Carothers, Janessa Esquible	YES	WMAR25
