Title:
Facing the Storm: Indian Tribes, Climate-Induced Weather Extremes, and the Future for Indian Country
Author:

Description:
Report by the National Wildlife Federation about the impacts of extreme weather events on tribes. North American Indian Tribes are especially harmed by climate change, as more ecological shifts and more frequent, more extreme weather events occur, a new study concludes. Because Tribes are heavily dependent on natural resources, severe weather events like droughts, floods, wildfires, and snowstorms make tribal communities particularly vulnerable and impact American Indians and Alaska Natives more than they impact the general population. © 1996-2011 National Wildlife Federation, 8/3/11.
