Dr. Casey Thornbrugh is a citizen of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and a geographer with a background in climate Science. Casey will speak about how Tribal Nations and Indigenous Communities have witnessed changes in the climate from time immemorial.  Anthropogenic climate change and the Climate Crisis, coupled with the impacts of colonization, pose unique challenges for Tribal Nations.  Despite these challenges, Tribal Nations are leading the way in climate change adaptation planning and resilience.  This talk will provide an overview of climate change impacts and adaptation by Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities with an emphasis on the East Coast and coastal communities. Casey will then discuss opportunities to learn from Indigenous climate change adaptation while maintaining respect for Indigenous knowledge and Tribal sovereignty.
