NNA-CO Learn & Connect: Landscape of Tribal Communities

NNA-CO Learn & Connect: Landscape of Tribal Communities

Arctic research is shifting to center Indigenous knowledge and co-production with communities and Tribes. This energy toward Arctic climate research and Indigenous priorities is both needed and taxing for Tribal communities in Alaska. Dr. Adelheid Herrmann has developed a guide to help researchers, academics, federal and state agencies working in rural Alaska understand the current landscape and complexities of Tribal communities. In this webinar, Dr. Herrmann shares her report and graphics to help people visualize the overwhelming number of external and internal forces that Tribes and Tribal members deal with daily.
