Evaluation Responses for Research Symposium: Culturally Significant Plants and Climate Change

THE CHICKASAW NATION HOSTED THIS RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM ON MARCH 22-24, 2022, HELD AT THE CHICKASAW RETREAT AND CONFERENCE CENTER IN SULPHUR, OK. After the Climate Workshop for The Chickasaw Nation in 2019, the Tribal managers discussed the need to include culture in conservation efforts and decided to seek a grant for culturally significant plants. This event was organized and led by the Chickasaw Nation and was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey through the South Central Climate Adaptation Science Center. There were 106 attendees with 75 Native representatives from 21 different tribes. There were 11 student attendees. Attendees came from all across the United States including Maine, New York, Michigan, Montana, California, Alabama, and North Carolina. One of the speakers even presented via livestream from Hawaii. The event brought tribes and researchers together on equal levels to learn about what they are doing related to plants and climate change and discuss collaboration opportunities. This dataset contains evaluation responses from participants who attended the research symposium. The purpose of the evaluation responses is to determine what was successful about the symposium and what could be improved upon.
