#71521: UNLV student Ka-Voka Jackson, a Hualapai tribal member, is working on a restoration project on her tribe's ancestral lands through her master's program. The research, conducted in collaboration with the National Park Service in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Arizona, will restore degraded plant communities in several canyons along the Colorado River by testing methods of invasive plant species control and established native plant populations.
