Incorporating social-ecological considerations into basin-wide responses to climate change in the Colorado River Basin
Bringing Indigenous Kamchatka to Google Earth: Collaborative Digital Mapping with the Itelmen Peoples
Indigenous peoples in the Russian Far East are engaged in vibrant cultural and linguistic resurgence and revitalization through their community and regional organizations. Through the activities of one of these organizations, a computer-aided cultural mapping project was initiated in collaboration with indigenous villages along the Kamchatka Peninsula, working with youth and elders to map out the histories of special cultural places. The project …
A Paradox of Plenty: Renewable Energy on Navajo Nation Lands
A persistent paradox in the global boom of renewable energy revolves around how little of its vast potential has been developed on Native American lands. For economic and environmental reasons, attempts to reverse this pattern are on the rise. Such plans will encounter many unique conditions, particularly those related to tribal norms, customs, and histories. This article examines the prospect of renewable energy (RE) development on the Navajo Na…
Here and There: The Effects of Upriver Dams on Indigenous Peoples
How does a commentary about upstream dams on the Colorado River fit within a special issue devoted to dams and development on Indigenous lands in the Brazilian Amazon?First, dam building on the Colorado River helps us envision a scenario of what the future might look like for Amazonian Indigenous peoples.For the past century, capital-intensive development on the Colorado River has taken the form of energy-producing dams, irrigation projects, and …
The Economics of Dam Building: Nez Perce Tribe and Global-Scale Development
This paper considers the economics of dam building and global-scale development in the Nez Perce watersheds of the Snake and the Columbia rivers. First, I link the expansion of global capitalism to the rise of industrial agricultural and dam building on Nez Perce territorial lands and traditional use areas. Dam building has contributed to the growth of a global economy in dramatic and unexpected ways, and dam building has presented enormous chall…
Adaptive Capacity as Cultural Practice
provide an insightful synthesis about the poverty and rigidity traps. They note how these states can be quite resilient and undesirable for indigenous cultures. We support their approach and add three additional considerations
Salmon and the Adaptive Capacity of Nimiipuu (Nez Perce) Culture to Cope with Change
Salmon and the Adaptive Capacity of Nimiipuu (Nez Perce) Culture to Cope with Change Benedict J. Colombi (bio) Change due to natural disturbances and disasters, population growth and decline, economic crises, and environmental and climate change creates significant cultural challenges.1 Rapid change and the transformation it brings also involve complex relationships between sovereign tribes, resources, and the global system. This article explores…
