“I see my culture starting to disappear”: Anishinaabe perspectives on the socioecological impacts of climate change and future research needs
Climate change disproportionately affects Indigenous Peoples because of strong connections between environmental, cultural, and spiritual well-being. While much of the global discourse surrounding climate change is founded in Western science, the holistic, place-based knowledge of Indigenous Peoples...
