Reflections and Ideas about Collaboration with Integrity explores the work Generations of Knowledge: Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Environmental Science (National Science Foundation DRL-1010559), a six-year collaborative project between OMSI and Native partners from diverse tribes, cultures, and ecoregions that co-created traveling exhibits and programs for science and tribal museums. This legacy document reflects on and shares what we learned on this journey, including our detours and course corrections. The legacy document strongly reflects the work of the whole project both in its content and in its collaborative development. It features contributions from 23 members of the project team, including the reflections of 16 external partners from over ten different Native cultures. It captures the project team’s stories, experiences, and insights about bridging Indigenous knowledge and informal science education.
