This project, currently being reviewed at the National Science Foundation, proposes to document Indigenous placenames and knowledge in the Bering Sea Coastal Region. ELOKA has partnered with this proposed project to help develop a data management strategy for the knowledge collected, ensuring it is preserved and shared in ways meaningful to the communities involved.
