The Electa Quinney Institute has partnered with Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District Greenseams\u00ae program<\/a> to develop Indigenous Land Management Plans for selected sites within the Milwaukee River Basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application for Summer 2026 are now closed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This internship program is a new opportunity for UW-Milwaukee Students to participate in this project as summer interns (paid). Starting with the Indigenous understanding of a baseline of flourishing, you will learn about the Indigenous definition of nature-based environmental solutions. You will learn nature-based land-management through Indigenous agriculture, with possible establishment of orchards and indigenous trees, and prairie re-establishment through a specialized study of Indigenous Land Management Planning and Implementation. Indigenous methodologies create a diffuse agricultural system and a close kinship with the land, which will take several years to see the full impact. Through experiential learning, students will collect data to have a holistic comprehensive understanding of the plan\u2019s results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants will be required to enroll in AIS 489 for the full 12-week summer session. There are a limited number of scholarships available to help with tuition costs. If you are in need of a scholarship, please indicate as such in your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
