Abstract

Climate change will have complex and profound effects on tribal resources, cultures, and economies. Indigenous peoples have lived in the region for thousands of years, developing cultural and social customs that revolve around traditional foods and materials and a spiritual tradition that is inseparable from the environment. Projected changes in temperature, precipitation, sea level, hydrology, and ocean chemistry threaten not only the lands, resources, and economies of tribes, but also tribal homelands, ceremonial sites, burial sites, tribal traditions, and cultural practices that have relied on native plant and animal species since time immemorial (Williams and Hardison 2005, 2006, 2007, 2012).
