| 英文简介 | Goals / Objectives Oglala Lakota College (OLC) is tribally controlled college based on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in southwestern South Dakota. The reservation is the second largest in the U.S. and home to about 19,541 Oglala Lakota (Sioux) (US CensusGoals /ACS 2015). The Reservation is 3,468 square miles which is larger than Delaware and Rhode Island combined. The Oglala Sioux Tribal enrollment is stated at 40,572 with many members living in off-reservation towns like Rushville and Chadron, NE and Rapid City, SD where OLC has an Instructional Center serving a Native community of about 9,000 in the sacred He Sapa. We also have an Instructional Center on the Cheyenne River Reservation which works with its own tribal extension department. The Pine Ridge Reservation is rated as the 3rd poorest area in America by the US Census and Oglala Lakota County (the majority of the Reservation) is ranked the 59th of 60 South Dakota counties in terms of health.OLC was chartered in 1971 by the Oglala Sioux Tribe to provide higher education on the Reservation and preserve and teach the Lakota language and culture. OLC averages over 1,400 students a year of which 95% are Native American and 65% are women.The purpose of TCEP is to strengthen the capacity of OLC to provide individuals, families, and communities with Extension education, outreach and technical assistance. In meeting this purpose our Ag Extension Capacity Program 2018-2022 has the following goals:Goal 1: Increase the knowledge and interest of Reservation community members of all ages in agriculture and natural resources as it relates to food security and food sovereignty.Goal 2: Assist Lakota agriculture producers and landowners to increase their economic yield through use of science-based technologies related to their production goals through community educational workshops and training programs or science-based community curricula.Project Methods The Annual Farm and Ranch Day is held especially for ag producers in January or February each year which is when they have some time to attend. It includes workshops and seminars done by OLC faculty, SD State University faculty, SD Extension staff and other experts in pertinent fields. Some recent topics included global warming, natural beef production, agribusiness on reservations, and plant and animal health.The Wazi Paha Oyate Festival was restored ten years ago at the request of community members. It is held in the Fall each year so that harvested produce can be showcased. It includes a traditional powwow (no prize money, social dancing and exhibitions), a cook off of traditional foods, traditional Lakota games, Lakota arts and crafts exhibits, and produce contests. It is in many ways a Lakota version of a county fair.We will revitalize OLC Ag Extension website on the revised www.olc.edu web site and upload links to agriculture and related information and resources. We will also update fact sheets and workshop materials and post them for easy access. Areas we have worked on in the past include a template for a Range Unit Conservation Plan, gardening how-to's including dealing with microclimates and soils on the Reservation, results from local research projects. Topics for factsheets and workshops include bison management; organic gardening, wild edible plants; solar energy, range management, water resource management, human nutrition; animal nutrition, carbon sequestration, and horse (equine) management. OLC has operated the Extension Program for over 40 years and provides office space and logistical support. Our Math, Science and Technology Department has a constructivist philosophy that focuses on hands on learning and facultyGoals /student research. A number of these research projects impact agriculture and food including native plants, buffalo, and hydrology. If the Ag Extension Capacity program ends we will continue the program with BIA and USDA Endowment Funds.4. Project Review and Evaluation: How quantitative metrics and success stories will be captured to demonstrate impact. Our evaluation plan will provide quantitative and qualitative measures as an assessment of learning that has taken place as well as of the value to stakeholders. We will do follow-up reviews to see the sustainability. The following is a list of data collection and assessment methods by goal:Goal 1 Increase knowledge of and interest in agriculture and natural resources Pine Ridge Indian Reservation community members Number and Agenda of Workshops Participant Lists Pre and Post Tests (open book using handouts) Participant Evaluations of Workshops Participant lists for Wazi Paha. Participant lists for Elders Ag Day. Number of hits on OLC Ag webpage.Goal 2 Assist Lakota agricultural producers and landowners to increase their economic yield through technical assistance and workshops. Catalog of Information on OLC Ag Web page Number of hits Web based survey of Web Page Users Agendas and participant lists for workshops Workshop materials List of regional, state and national events and activities Participant evaluation of activities Participant Lists Pre and Post Tests (open book using handouts) Participant Evaluations of Workshops FALCON conference agendas Hold formative evaluation meetings at the end of each semester to review activities, accomplishments, input from stakeholders, etc. We will then do a list of annual objectives and activities for the year. Also participate in the College's annual departmental assessment and annual effectiveness planning cycle. Do focus groups of stakeholders each year and overall impact surveys of participants, producers and collaborators. The above surveys of workshops will be tabulated and analyzed. Meet with each tribal office concerned with agriculture and natural resources annually to get their input on value. Feel that if we can get the Ag Tech Team stabilized we can assure continuation of many of the activities. |
