Within Alaska Native communities, traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) has long held that wild indigenous berries are a health-promoting, life-sustaining resource.

Modern science has recently elucidated specific health-protective, adaptogenic properties of the natural components within berry fruits.

This project will integrate biological scientific data relevant to wild berry bioactive properties with community perceptions of risk under the threat of global climate change and encroachment on the habitat of the berry resources.
