Tribal wilderness research needs and issues in the United States and Canada

Abstract

This paper represents a dialogue between tribal wilderness managers and researchers on the primary research needs of tribal wilderness in the United States and Canada. The authors identify a number of research priorities for tribal wildlands. The paper also discusses some major issues and challenges faced by researchers conducting research in areas that are culturally sensitive to tribal members. Dialogue participants provide recommendations for those wishing to initiate research in and about tribal wildland areas.
