Indigenous Communities

Indigenous peoples, communities, and ways of life are, in many places under pressure to adapt to changes in the environmental, social, and political landscape.

Indigenous communities have a unique, deep, and longstanding connection to and dependence upon the landscape. As these communities try to navigate and thrive in a rapidly changing environment, their leadership, insight, guidance, and active participation in addressing the many challenges and opportunities they face will be essential to a sustained and vibrant future that honors cultural traditions and a shared future.
