Tribes in the upper Midwest
have been at the forefront of developing novel strategies to
respond to climate change, mitigate threats to critical ecosystems,
protect traditional subsistence and harvesting practices, and advance Tribal resource, energy,
and food sovereignty. At this CLE, we will hear from a
panel of individuals working on reservations, in state government, and in
the treaty-ceded territories to develop food and resource sovereignty plans that
are responsive to present environmental and policy conditions and
anticipate likely climate change impacts. Our panel will touch on issues of treaty
law, food safety protocols and agricultural policy, renewable energy development, and state/tribal
cooperation around environmental initiatives.
