“…At the same time, climate change threatens wild food environments and Indigenous food sys-tems (Bharucha & Pretty, 2010;Doyle et al, 2013;Ericksen, 2008;Ford, 2009;Raiten & Aimone, 2017). Wild food environments are experiencing regional climate variability, including changes in temperature and seasonal patterns (Lynn et al, 2013), which threatens wild food availability, accessibility, and quality (Ford, 2009;Parry, Canziani, Palutikof, van der Linden, & Hanson, 2007).…”

“…For example, thinning and reduced arctic and subarctic sea ice shortens the hunting season for Inuit populations in the Canadian Arctic (Ford, 2009). In Montana, members of the Crow Nation have observed migrations and reductions in freshwater fish populations attributable to warming waters (Doyle, Redsteer, & Eggers, 2013).…”

For millennia Indigenous communities worldwide have maintained diverse knowledge systems informed through careful observation of dynamics of environmental changes. Although Indigenous communities and their knowledge systems are recognized as critical resources for understanding and adapting to climate change, no comprehensive, evidence-based analysis has been conducted into how environmental studies engage Indigenous communities. Here we provide the first global systematic review of levels of Indigenous community participation and decision-making in all stages of the research process (initiation, design, implementation, analysis, dissemination) in climate field studies that access Indigenous knowledge. We develop indicators for assessing responsible community engagement in research practice and identify patterns in levels of Indigenous community engagement. We find that the vast majority of climate studies (87%) practice an extractive model in which outside researchers use Indigenous knowledge systems with minimal participation or decision-making authority from communities who hold them. Few studies report on outputs that directly serve Indigenous communities, ethical guidelines for research practice, or providing Indigenous community access to findings. Further, studies initiated with (in mutual agreement between outside researchers and Indigenous communities) and by Indigenous community members report significantly more indicators for responsible community engagement when accessing Indigenous knowledges than studies initiated by outside researchers alone. This global assessment provides an evidence base to inform our understanding of broader social impacts related to research design and concludes with a series of guiding questions and methods to support responsible research practice with Indigenous and local communities.

“…This is a concern of tribes throughout the arid and semiarid western United States (Collins et al 2010;Redsteer et al 2013). Climate change will have other impacts on tribes in the west, including the availability of traditional foods and health, increased wildfires, and impacts to critical vegetation, fish, and wildlife, among others (Lynn et al 2013;Chief et al 2014;Ford and Giles 2015;Doyle et al 2013).…”

Sustainable Climate Change Adaptation in Indian Country

Much of the academic literature and policy discussions about sustainable development and climate change adaptation focus on poor and developing nations, yet many tribal communities inside the United States include marginalized peoples and developing nations who face structural barriers to effectively adapt to climate change. There is a need to critically examine diverse climate change risks for indigenous peoples in the United States and the many structural barriers that limit their ability to adapt to climate change. This paper uses a sustainable climate adaptation framework to outline the context and the relationships of power and authority, along with different ways of knowing and meaning, to illustrate the underpinnings of some tribes’ barriers to sustainable climate adaptation. The background of those structural barriers for tribes is traced, and then the case of water rights and management at the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming is used to illustrate the interplay of policy, culture, climate, justice, and limits to adaptation. Included is a discussion about how the rulings of the Big Horn general stream adjudication have hindered tribal climate change adaptation by limiting the quantity of tribal reserved water rights, tying those rights to the sole purposes of agriculture, which undermines social and cultural connections to the land and water, and failing to recognizing tribal rights to groundwater. Future climate projections suggest increasing temperatures, and changes in the amount and timing of snowpack, along with receding glaciers, all of which impact water availability downstream. Therefore, building capacity to take control of land and water resources and preparing for climate change and drought at Wind River Reservation is of critical importance.
