As climate change warmed the Arctic more than twice as fast as the rest of the planet, communities faced growing challenges such as coastal erosion and food security. The National Science Foundation's Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) initiative aimed to advance actionable knowledge through convergence research that included Indigenous Knowledge, and the NNA-CO supported this mission by building awareness, partnerships, and equitable collaboration. The NNA-CO hosted a Town Hall to discuss inclusive research design, Indigenous knowledge and data sovereignty, and effective knowledge dissemination, inviting current and prospective researchers and collaborators to attend.

The NNA-CO and Alaska Pacific University Community Extension Office invited community members to attend a virtual Indigenous Gathering Open House on November 3, 2021, to meet the team, learn about the Extension Office, and provide feedback on how to best serve community needs, priorities, and research interests. Tribal leaders, Indigenous knowledge holders, culture bearers, Elders, students, and community members were encouraged to attend, register in advance through Zoom, and share their input.
