"In recent years, there’s been a growing appreciation for Indigenous land
stewardship and traditional knowledge. But what gets overlooked is that
successfully managing those lands means Indigenous people have already survived
severe climate events and extreme weather.
Now, Indigenous communities are leading the way in climate adaptations — from
living alongside rapidly melting ice to confronting rising seas and creating
community support networks.
Indigenous knowledge does not mean going back to “traditional” methods; it
means evolving, a characteristic that has always been a part of Indigenous
life. There’s no easy fix for the planet. But Indigenous people have simple
solutions rooted in the depth of their knowledge.
Recently we launched
Changing With Our Climate, a limited-run series
exploring Indigenous solutions to extreme weather rooted in history — and the
future. This summer and fall, we’ll be publishing five features that center an
Indigenous community confronting extreme weather on the front lines.
This series has not set out to mythologize Indigenous communities with bespoke,
unapproachable, or mystic traditional practices and solutions — but instead
underscores humility as a throughline. Indigenous people realize we cannot bend
the world to our human will. We’re far better and more resilient when we tune
in and lean into changes when possible.
By showing the connections between storms, climate disasters, and issues of
tribal sovereignty,
Changing With Our Climate will explore what it really
means when we say that climate change is an existential threat — and how we can
work together to find a way out."
