Research & Teaching: Protecting Tribal Waters & Tribal Youth
Ashia Grae Wolf Wilson has conducted research at the University of Oregon Special Collections and the National Archives in Seattle, Washington. She was a winner of the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship award in 2021 and graduated high school at age sixteen with a full-ride scholarship to the UO from the Ford Family Foundation.
As an organizer for Klamath Riverkeeper, Ashia developed an upper-Klamath Basin educational tour, a curriculum for youth advocates, and helped co-organize public events. Wilson is also the program director for the Rios to Rivers planning exchange program, and founded a Kayak Club in Chiloquin, Oregon.
With the aid she received from the URDS Impact Fund, Wilson planned and hosted "Paddle Tribal Waters," a three-day conference meant to gather tribal/indigenous youth and develop their river stewardship knowledge and skills by providing opportunities to get on the water (kayaking, rafting) with intentional conversations focusing on a variety of topics from Outdoor Education to Native and Indigenous Studies, Environmental Sciences, Natives Outdoors, and Water Law/Policy.
