The Shifting Climates team
Sarah, Harrison, and Michaela
This episode will take you to the Southwest corner of Navajo Nation where we dig into the
connection between colonialism and climate change. Meet several people who are using community agriculture to reclaim cultural traditions while also addressing issues of food insecurity and diabetes on the reservation. Learn about the injustices Navajos experience in the healthcare system, and hear from one woman in particular about the effects of uranium exposure on her health. Radiation and lack of nutritious food are just two examples of how settler-colonialism is still at work today.

On September 8, many communities throughout New Mexico and the Nation joined to honor and remember the waters that sustain us as they and we feel the impacts of Global Climate Disruption.  There were speakers, learning centers, and places to register to vote.  Here are some great photos of the event.
