Delve into Redsteer's experiences working with Indigenous communities to adapt to climate change, examining what has been overlooked in narratives about environmental challenges. Learn from her insights on interactions between landscape processes, erosion, changing vegetation communities, and climate, as well as her incorporation of Indigenous knowledge to elucidate the effects of increasing temperatures in poorly monitored regions. Gain valuable perspectives on ecosystem change and its relevance to vulnerable populations' livelihoods. Benefit from the expertise of Rebecca Tsosie, a Regents Professor specializing in Federal Indian law and indigenous peoples' human rights, who provides additional context to the discussion. Understand the significance of this lecture as part of the Tanner Lectures on Human Values series, which aims to advance scholarly and scientific learning in the field of human values across moral, artistic, intellectual, and spiritual domains.
