Arctic and Mountain indigenous peoples have intimate knowledge of the regions in which they live and the ongoing impacts of climate change; but rarely are included in published research. This session proposes ways in which this gap can be addressed, and features the world premiere of a documentary on the connection between indigenous knowledge and science.
Main presenters include Tiana Carter, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade New Zealand; Penehuro Lefale, Ministry of Climate Oceans and Resilience, Government of Tokelau; Ruth Miller, Native Movement (Alaska); Maka Monture Paki, Always Indigenous Media, Trans-Pacific Youth Delegation; and Kelly Moneymaker, Massey University.
