style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Adapt-ability
-
</span></strong><span
style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The
global challenges of the 21st century require more
than lip-service, academic discourse, corporate
responsibility statements, or political pontification
– they demand informed action – and they will benefit
from Native innovation. </span><span
style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="pa1"><span
style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">As
far as the future health of our Mother Earth is
concerned, humanity stands at a precipice. If, as many
believe, climate change, water rights, food security,
resource management, geological resourcing impacts,
and other environmental issues have escalated beyond
the point of return, it may be too late to discuss
stoppage or even avoidance. We are at a moment where
the call is for adaptive
solutions.
</span><span

<p class="pa1"><span
style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Further,
for many of us land-based people, particularly but not
limited to those in the polar/northern regions, these
global issues take on an acutely local significance,
and even touch upon sovereignty issues for American
Indians and Alaska Natives.</span><span
style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="pa1"><span
style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">We
Native people have adapted to change before. We are
adapt-able. Certainly, traditional knowledge holds
some keys to possible solutions to our global
environmental threats. As Native people, AISES invites
you to embark on a vital shared discourse around these
crucial topics.</span><span

the sacrifices and valor of our ancestors – and
sustain our pledge to the seventh generation to come.
