The book explores Gwich'in insight and wisdom about ecology, climate, and the drastic effects of climate change on their landscapes and culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These interview subjects are at a \"ground zero\" of climate change, and their voices are largely absent from popular research on and discussion of the topic. Their traditional knowledge of Arctic flora and fauna, forestation, landforms, meteorology, airstream behavior, and river hydrology makes a significant contribution to the documentation of climate change. In addition, Gilbert bridges the Gwich'in worldview and that of Western science by including factual substantiation and citations that corroborate key observations in the Gwich'in transcripts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A text that matters for its cultural and historical significance--as well as its potential impact on the way science and policy are conducted in rural Alaska and on public lands--\u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eGwich'in \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eClimate Report\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to residents of and stakeholders in the communities it represents as well as researchers concerned with on-the-ground conditions of ecosystems and Indigenous peoples most directly affected by climate change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Alaska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646423354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274","brand":"Matt Gilbert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42223620128949,"sku":"9781646423354","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1f5c1789-cefa-4900-bf6a-1aab46089e49.jpg?v=1655780994","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-gwichin-climate-report-9781646423354","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
