ITEP's NEW Tribal Climate Change Website:
Climate change challenges all of Earth’s residents, but Native Americans who live close to and draw spiritual
sustenance from the land are impacted more than most. Problems fostered by planetary warming include intensified
drought, changes in native plant and animal populations, stresses to traditional agriculture and subsistence
practices, and a host of other impacts.
Click HERE for NEW website.
Website includes:
- Audio files of tribal elders offering their views of climate change.
- General information on climate change and its impacts on various ecosystems and regions of the country.
- Stories describing how the tribes are affected by climate change and what they’re doing to cope.
- Practical actions you can take to minimize your global-warming "footprint" at home, at work, and in your community.
- ....and much more!
