Abstract

Quick take:- Panelists in a recent East-West Center online forum spoke about the need to apply knowledge amassed by Indigenous people over thousands of years to addressing climate change and other environmental challenges- Key stewardship values include fostering reciprocity with nature and sharing among people- Speakers called for Native voices to be at the center of the environmental conversation, not consigned to the margins.
