A powerful, intimate collection of conversations with Indigenous Americans on the climate crisis and the Earth’s futureAlthough for a great many people, the human impact on the Earth-countless species becoming extinct, pandemics claiming millions of lives, and climate crisis causing worldwide social and environmental upheaval-was not apparent until recently, this is not the case for all people or cultures. For the Indigenous people of the world, radical alteration of the planet, and of life itself, is a story that is many generations long. They have had to adapt, to persevere, and to be courageous and resourceful in the face of genocide and destruction-and their experience has given them a unique understanding of civilizational devastation.
