| NCED and SMM Youth Working on Museum Water Exhibition | | Youths from the Fond du Lac Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa, who are participants in NCED's gidakiimanaaniwigamig (Our Earth Lodge) environmental camps and after-school programs, are collaborating with the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM) Youth Science Center Water Crew on the upcoming 2009 SMM Water Exhibition. These youth are charged with creating a section of the exhibition that shows how water in their community ties in with Earth's water story, as will be described by the SMM Water Exhibition. The SMM Water Crew and gidakiimanaaniwigamig (gida) youths met for the first time in October and then again at the fall gida science camp. During this second meeting, the gida youth shared with the Water Crew what they learned from their visit (read a summary of their experience) to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) water exhibition, Water: H2O = Life. Later this month, these two groups of youth met with SMM exhibit staff to share ideas and receive feedback on how best to move forward with this collaborative project. | | Awards, Awards, Awards | Hydrologic Sciences Award
