#FirstNations #Yukon #canada Members of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation have witnessed many changes unfold across the far reaches of their traditional territory in northern Yukon. Tundra grasslands are being replaced by shrubs. Permafrost is thawing at an accelerated rate. Lakes are draining more than in the past. River and lake shorelines are eroding more quickly. And fires are burning within and beyond the boreal treeline https://brocku.ca/brock-news/2026/08/20-years-of-research-shows-how-climate-change-has-vastly-impacted-canadas-north/ #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #climate

#FirstNations That’s according to a new report from Land Is Life that highlights the global success of Indigenous climate adaptation and resilience amid escalating crises. The report also says supporting Indigenous governance through legal recognition, financing, and partnerships — none of which are occurring on a large scale — is the best way to reduce climate disaster risk worldwide https://grist.org/global-indigenous-affairs-desk/as-climate-disasters-multiply-indigenous-governance-offers-a-way-forward/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #pollution #ecology #environment
As climate disasters multiply, Indigenous governance offers a way forward

As climate disasters multiply, Indigenous governance offers a way forward

Indigenous peoples are confronting mounting threats even as inadequate funding and scant legal recognition limit their ability to respond.

@Tode@indieweb.social @CatherineBabault@mastodon.social this is unbelievable ... I listened to more and I got down to the 'songs' section. The 1st song is a Catholic hymn and the 2nd is a children's song she made to help us memorize the syllabic chart. It's our children's ABC song for Syllabics. Eh-Ee-Oo-Ah - ᐁ ᐃ ᐅ ᐊ Peh-Pee-Poh-Pah - ᐯ ᐱ ᐳ ᐸ Teh-Tee-Toh-Tah - ᑌ ᑎ ᑐ ᑕ Keh-Kee-Koh-Kah - ᑫ ᑭ ᑯ ᑲ there's more to it but that is the first part Lol ... I haven't heard that song in years!!!! #indigenous #firstnations

Pow Wow Is A Sacred Gathering

This past month, I was happy to attend two Pow Wows I hadn't been to in years. I attended the Mattagami First Nation Pow Wow and the Matachewan First Nation Pow Wow. These are two special communities I have had the good fortune to be involved in for over 30 years. I stopped attending public events eight years ago when my partner Mike was diagnosed with a debilitating disease. We could not afford for him to get sick with a common cold which meant that I also could not catch anything for fear of p

Joe Pye weed (Eutrochium maculatum) But who is Joe Pye? It seems to be the anglophone name of a very interesting Mohican, Joseph Shauquethqueat, living at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, in Massachusetts and New York. Not clear he had anything to do with the plant, maybe only by association. A scholarly article about botany, history and First Nations, with Latin names and a critical eye. Perfect 🤓 https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/p/pod/dod-idx/joe-pye-joe-pyes-law-and-joe-pye-weed-the-history.pdf?c=mbot;idno=0497763.0056.303;format=pdf #flowers #bloomscrolling #nativeplants #wildflowers #botany #history #firstnations #photography

#FirstNations #Ontario #canada Scientists have long predicted higher temperatures and long-term disrupted weather patterns in general. They predicted this since the 1970s. The cause of this climate change is the production and burning of fossil fuels, thus loading the atmosphere with carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. These gases trap heat, preventing it from radiating out into space, and cause the temperature increases of which Harris speaks https://archive.ph/DjvlX#selection-4949.0-4955.423 #ClimateChange

In my latest column, I talk about the forest fire reality we live with here in the north and how governments prioritize the dangers. #indigenous #firstnations #nishnawbe #mushkegowuk #forestfireshttps://www.wawataynews.ca/blogs-columns/ring-forest-fire

The Ring Of Forest Fire

Forest fires have always been a deep worry for those of us who live in the far north of Ontario. We are surrounded by endless forests and we know full well what it means when these trees start to burn in the peak heat of summer. I remember a few hot summers in the 1980s, when I was growing up in my home community of Attawapiskat on the James Bay coast, seeing large columns of smoke rising west of our community. It is a frightful thing to know that you are isolated from the world and that fire mi
