Climate Change Strikes

On Thursday’s NewsHour, NewsHour correspondent Hari Sreenivasan moderated a panel discussion on how Native American tribes are coping with climate change.

The panel included four native leaders representing their communities at the First Stewards symposium:

• Jeff Mears – Oneida tribe, Wisconsin, Environmental Area Manager • Micah McCarty – Makah tribe, Washington, Chairman • Mike Williams – Akiak tribe, Alaska, Vice Chairman • Kitty Simonds – Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council and native Hawaiian

When we began our NewsHour coverage on communities across the United States coping with climate change, we didn’t plan to focus on Native American tribes. But we soon realized that indigenous communities are on the frontlines of America’s climate-related dangers.
