Tribes suffer some of the most severe impacts of climate change in the U.S. but often have the fewest resources to respond.
Jeanette Kiokun, clerk for the Qutekcak Native Tribe in Seward, on the shore of Lake Crescent at NatureBridge in the Olympic National Park during the 2023 Tribal Climate Camp, Aug. 17, 2023, near Port Angeles, Wash. Participants representing at least 28 tribes and intertribal organizations gathered to connect and share knowledge.
Tribes suffer some of the most severe impacts of climate change in the U.S. but often have the fewest resources to respond, which makes the intensive camps on combatting the impact of climate change a vital training ground and community-building space. “ this camp has done for us is to help us know that there is the network, there is a supporting web out there, that we can help one another,” said Jonny Bearcub Stiffarm, a member of the climate advisory board for the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes in Montana. “So we make new songs. We make new stories. We make new visions that we embrace for the positive outcome of our people. We make new warrior societies, new climate warrior societies.
Camp participants include those first starting to consider actions to counter the effects of climate change to those who have long had plans in place.
