Rematriation and climate justice: Intersections of indigenous health and place

Elsevier,

Journal of Climate Change and Health, Volume 18, 1 July 2024
Indigenous Peoples face disproportionate risks from climate change while being key to planetary health and climate resilience due to their traditional ecological knowledge. This manuscript provides Indigenous perspectives on climate justice, exploring the intersection of health, sovereignty, and ancestral practices, and discusses opportunities for decolonizing relationships to place, highlighting a case of rematriation and healing at Bdóte, the place of genesis for Dakota Peoples, also known as Minneapolis and Saint Paul, MN.
