In Coos Bay, Oregon, a project known as the 'data canoe' is bringing together water science and the traditions of local tribes. The initiative pairs scientific monitoring of the bay's waters with Indigenous knowledge, aiming to make environmental data more meaningful to tribal communities. Details beyond the collaboration of Western science and tribal tradition are limited, but the effort highlights growing interest in combining these ways of understanding water and ecosystems.
