And the second is that approaches to climate change adaptation and mitigation should be regionally and locally focused, and specifically with an attention to clicket knowledge. I'm gonna talk a little bit about my methods. So, I first wanna acknowledge the fact that research in general, and especially anthropology as a discipline, have had very negative impacts in the past on Indigenous communities. And this has taken a lot of different forms, knowledge extraction and theft, imbalanced power relations, and stereotypes are just a few examples. And with that in mind, you know, as an Indigenous scholar studying anthropology, I really wanted to draw from my Indigenous studies background and think about centering those Indigenous perspectives and worldviews and theoretical grounding in my work.
