This dataset contains replicate samples collected in the field by community technicians. No field replicates were collected in 2012. Replicate constituents with differences less than 10 percent are considered acceptable.
This dataset includes laboratory instrument detection limit data associated with laboratory instruments used in the analysis of surface water samples collected as part of the USGS - Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council collaborative water quality monitoring project.
Abstract (from ScienceDirect): Indigenous peoples are increasingly developing Community-Based Monitoring programs to protect the waters and lands within their territories in response to multiple ecological and political stressors. Furthermore, CBM tends to focus on Indigenous peoples’ role as ‘knowledge holders.’ This paper explores CBM through a governance lens by understanding CBM as a strategy for the assertion of Indigenous sovereignty and jurisdiction. Research findings revealed that CBM is understood as both a method for generating data useful for decision-making and an expression of governance itself, rooted in understandings of stewardship, kinship and responsibility. Our findings also suggest that data...

The water-quality data available here has been collected as part of a collaborative monitoring project between the US Geological Survey, Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council, and Yukon River Basin communities known as the Indigenous Observation Network. Since 2006 the USGS National Research Program (NRP) and Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council (YRITWC) have been partnering to collect water-quality samples from the Yukon River and tributaries with the assistance of trained community members living in the Yukon River Basin. The YRITWC provides support for this project through sample collection, sample processing and shipment logistics with communities and to the USGS. The USGS provides water analysis...
This dataset contains data collected from field blanks. Field blanks are deionized water processed in the field by community technicians using processing methods identical to those for surface water samples. Field blanks are then analyzed in the laboratory following procedures identical to those for surface water samples.
The Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council's (YRITWC) Indigenous Observation Network (ION) is one of the largest indigenous science networks in the world. This network consists of 70 indigenous nations from northern British Columbia, Yukon, and Alaska, all working together towards the preservation and protection of the Yukon River watershed. How is this accomplished? Water sampling from the headwaters to the mouth of the Yukon River and its major tributaries. Here is a story of the Ta'an Kwach'an Council and their experience collecting water samples from the Yukon River near Whitehorse, Yukon.

The dataset includes field measurements and laboratory analysis of water-quality data collected by trained community technicians across the Yukon River Basin in Alaska and Canada and Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council staff and analyzed at the U.S. Geological Survey National Research Program laboratories in Boulder, CO.
