Indigenous Peoples 101: Culture, Climate Change, and Resilience
Editor's Note: One of the focuses of TATANKA's cultural awareness effort is Indigenous Wisdom: Ancient and Future Sustainabilities . An accredited college level course will be free to all via our ISCed.org online learning platform, but for now, the TATANKA Indigenous Peoples 101 web article series will introduce readers to many of the thousands of indigenous cultures and groups and how we will learn from and apply this harmonious knowledge to a more sustainable future for all. There are more than 5,000 different Indigenous Peoples around the world comprising 476 million people – around 6.2% of the global population. They are spread across more than 90 countries in every region and speak more than 4,000 languages. Source: https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/indigenous-peoples/
