Indigenous peoples voice urgency on global warming
Author: Brenda Norrell Source: Indian Country Today
Title: Indigenous peoples voice urgency on global warming
MONTREAL - American Indians, Alaska Natives and the First Nations of Canada stood in solidarity with indigenous peoples globally during the U.N. conference on global warming, developing the Tiohtia:ke Declaration addressing climate change and indigenous peoples.
In the Arctic, Sheila Watt-Cloutier said global warming is devastating Inuits.
''Inuit are an ancient people. Our way of life is dependent on the natural environment and animals. Climate change is destroying our environment and eroding our culture.
''Climate change is amplified in the Arctic. What is happening to us now will happen soon in the rest of the world.''
