Excerpt:

Co-Chairs: Dr. Dan Wildcat (Haskell Indian Nations University) &Winona LaDuke (Honor the Earth)

More than ten years ago, Indigenous peoples came together at the first Native Peoples/Native Homelands Climate Change Workshop with the urgent message that global warming would have the greatest impact on the world's peoples and cultures most closely tied to the land.

This fall, just a few weeks before world leaders meet in Copenhagen for climate change talks, Indigenous peoples will gather for a second Climate Change Workshop. At this critical juncture in history, we will come together to share climate change knowledge and current impacts, develop avenues for meaningful inclusion in policy and discuss proactive strategies for mitigation, adaptation and building resilience in our tribal communities.
