The Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council would like to announce a recent opportunity for a paid internship with its Science and Energy Dept. in Fairbanks Alaska during the Summer of 2010.
Description: The Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council (YRITWC) is a coalition of 70 Tribes and First Nations in Alaska and Canada united in protecting the Yukon River for current and future generations. The challenges the Energy Dept. seeks to address include the high cost of fuel, dependence on diesel generators for electricity, air and water pollution from burning fossil fuels, and fuel spills. The Science Dept manages the largest Indigenous operated observation network in the World. We seek to use traditional knowledge to guide our focus areas, form strong relationships within communities, train technicians, and build local capacity for Indigenous Peoples to execute their natural liberty as sovereign people.
