EDS for Maka Sitomniya: Preserving Mother Earth by Asserting Lakota Sovereignty in Earth Data Science

This Tribal-led initiative combines Traditional Ecological Knowledge with environmental data science to address environmental challenges including pollution, water scarcity, and biodiversity loss. The working group develops customizable DataCubes and workflows enabling Indigenous communities to access and utilize remote sensing technology and data analysis tools for their own purposes, with emphasis on building Tribal capacity and expanding scientific accessibility.
