Description
The Quinault Nation is on the front line of impacts from climate change, having experienced a dramatic drop in their blueback salmon fishery, as well as rising sea levels forcing the relocation of one of their two main villages. We interview Fawn Sharp, the Vice-President and former President of the Quinault Nation in Taholah Washington, and the 23rd President of The National Congress of American Indians. We hear her story of how local impacts have driven her to lead state, national, and international action on climate change.ResourcesQuinault Nation websiteTaholah Village Relocation Master PlanNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI) websiteNCAI Climate Action Task ForceWashington Climate Commitment Act
