Indigenous groups and climate change

Yale e360 assigned me this wonderful story about how Indigenous groups are taking a lead on climate change adaptation plans.

Sadly I was unable to visit the Swinomish, although it would, as it turns out, have been an ill-timed visit to Washington state (in February, just as the novel coronavirus was establishing there). I did, however, attend a wonderful session on Indigenous climate action at the joint Canadian Anthropology Society and American Anthropological Association conference in Vancouver in November 2019. My work for the anthropology magazine SAPIENS has helped me to understand Indigenous views on health, and how environmental health is seen as so integral to human health; physical and mental health so intertwined.
