Climate change is having serious, real-time impacts on subsistence resources and subsistence users

Excerpt:
Senator Begich, Senator Stabenow, and distinguished guests, thank you for the opportunity to testify on behalf of the U.S. Arctic Research Commission.1 At the recommendation of Senator Begich, I was appointed by President Obama to the Commission in June of this year to represent indigenous perspectives and to focus on anthropology, subsistence, and education. Additionally, I serve as the director of the University of Alaska Fairbanks Kuskokwim Campus in Bethel, Alaska. I previously served as the director of the Subsistence Division for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, overseeing research and advocating for the protection of subsistence rights.
