Description
Our Living Lands is a weekly podcast that explores the impact of climate change on Indigenous communities' health, culture, and environment. Join us to hear about unique challenges and innovative solutions from Alaska to Florida and beyond. We have explored the difficult decisions tribes are making about leaving their land, the power of apple cider to deal with grizzly bears, and even head-bangingly loud heavy metal music.
Led by a three-person Indigenous team, Our Living Lands is a collaboration of the Mountain West News Bureau, Koahnic Broadcast Corporation, and Native Public Media.
