Nation’s planning for future generations

A slice of our Indigenous world

• How does a tribal nation, such as Quinault in Washington state, grapple with the threats that come with climate change? And, perhaps even more pressing, how do they pay for it? ICT ’s Mark Trahant sheds light on these complex issues in part two of his coverage on the Quinault Nation.

• The Klamath tribes in southern Oregon haven’t seen salmon for over a century. That could change with a major dam removal project along the Klamath river. ICT's and Underscore’s Nika Bartoo-Smith met with tribal citizens along the river and got a firsthand look at the hope that is springing up.

• A pilot program to address the challenges of addiction and homelessness launched on Montana’s Flathead reservation. People committed to recovery will be offered housing and support services to keep them sober and off the streets. Liz Dempsey reports how the program is already making a difference.

• Joy Harjo has won the minds and hearts of folks all over the globe with her words and music. From poetry, children’s books and music, she is a true artist and philosopher whose work reflects her Muskogee heritage. Harjo was our nation’s 23rd Poet Laureate. She’s also a saxophone player as well as a mother and grandmother. ICT ’s Shirley Sneve asked her what issues Native people face in the world today.
