First and Indigenous peoples are chroniclers of the climate, noting and marking to remembrance, events, seasons, changes (drastic and subtle). Many First and Indigenous peoples still maintain a subsistent lifeway; therefore being aware and maintaining that alert level of awareness is tantamount to SURVIVAL. Our SURVIVAL is tied to knowing what is happening in the world around us. Where and how we build, where to find food, where and how to protect ourselves, to be safe. There are newer sciences, and its data has proven valid, but there is a common theme in the voices of the ‘People”. “Climate change” is now “CLIMATE CRISIS”. Year after year the world experiences and witnesses the extreme, destructive and more and more often unpredictable climatic events. Phenological events are becoming less and less predictable. We, the First and Indigenous peoples are saying with one voice: Our lifeways are suffering the first destructive impacts of ‘climate crisis’, but all will suffer if immediate and long termed changes are not implemented. The earth cannot sustain the ever increasing demands upon the resources she provides; especially in the face of climate and environmental abuse. If the voices and teachings of the traditional ecological climate monitors go unheeded, the world will eventually face global systems collapse, and we all lose.
