Abstract

Tribal Watershed Management Culture, Science, Capacity, and Collaboration amanda cronin and david m. ostergren During the colonization of North America and the subsequent expan- sion of the United States, Indigenous peoples were dispossessed of the resources that formed the core of their economic and spiritual suste- nance. Today in the United States there is a tremendous diversity of Indigenous resource and land management. Some tribes are well on their way to regaining power over the resources that define their culture and economies, most notably with the adoption of tribal-state coman- agement. Effective exercise of reserved rights, as established in the trea- ties of the 1850s, has contributed to goals of regaining sovereignty for tribes in the Pacific Northwest and Great Lakes regions. At the same time, many tribes have yet to recover even a sliver of jurisdiction over their traditional lands and resources. We believe there are a host of fac- tors that contribute to the relative success of some tribes in the field of natural resource management. These factors include but are not limited to the existence of reserved treaty rights; past and historic relationships with the non-Indian community; current economic status of the tribe; and cultural dependence
