Show by Stanislaus State
In this episode of the Stan State EduCast, host Frankie Tovar speaks with Heather Collins, a social scientist and Stan State alumna whose interdisciplinary research examines collaboration between California tribes and state agencies in resource management and environmental restoration. Collins explains why meaningful relationships cannot be built on grant-cycle deadlines, how bureaucratic structures can misalign with tribal needs, and what she learned through interviews, participant observation, fieldwork, and GIS mapping. She also discusses land access, cultural sites, traditional fire, the role of keystone stewards, and practical ways people can listen, learn, and support Native and Indigenous communities.Produced by the Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing, edited and recorded in the KCSS studios on the campus of Stanislaus State.
