Description

Mountain climates around the globe are intrinsically linked to indigenous peoples whose livelihood strategies, food systems and cultural identities are intimately connected to the mountains in which they live. Indigenous relationships with mountains are currently being degraded by the impacts of climate change. The methodology used consists of literature review, interviews, GIS layers, and a Story Map to address the relationship between indigenous peoples and mountain climate change. This presentation seeks to consider the impact of climate change on mountainous tribal land in Colorado, discuss Indigenous practices for dealing with climate variability, and share resources on mountain focused climate initiatives.
