Stanislav Saas Ksenofontov from UArctic member institution ARCTICenter at the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) will be giving their presentation Sustainability of Indigenous Communities and Global Change: perspectives from Sakha, NE Siberia. It is scheduled for Wednesday, October 2, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. AKT (1:00 p.m. ET) via Zoom.
Seminar extract:
Indigenous understanding of sustainability is embedded in close relations to land and environment, Indigenous Knowledge systems, Indigenous epistemologies and ontologies, and Indigenous languages. However, the sustainability of Indigenous peoples’ livelihoods is significantly affected by various global change drivers. In the Arctic, Indigenous peoples’ livelihoods are impacted by environmental, social, and cultural changes, including climate change, environmental pollution, economic processes, and resource extraction. This presentation aims to review and synthesize recent academic and gray literature on the sustainability of Indigenous communities in Sakha Republic, Northeast Siberia, Russia in the face of global change with a particular focus on land- and water-based traditional activities, native language, and the Indigenous Knowledge system.
