How is this representation of climate change similar to the other things you’ve read/viewed? How is different?

The representation of climate change is similar to the other things I've read/viewed because this representation of climate change is indigenous people fighting for climate change and their rights, just like other things I've read/viewed. It is different because this video incorporates everyone like factories emitting carbon dioxide, sea ice melting, and deforestation and other things I've haven't heard like the REDD+ and the declaration in the REED+.  

Where do you see the influence of Indigenous peoples in this video? Where is it missing?

I see that the declaration of the REDD+ and the man talking about climate change to his people is the influence of indigenous people in this video. I think that when they talk about the sea ice is where the influence of indigenous people is missing because the indigenous people are not affected by the sea ice. 

What solutions to climate change does this video propose? 

The solutions to climate change are to stop chopping trees, reduce carbon dioxide from factories, give back the indigenous people's land, rights, and resources, and treasure resources like water and plants.    

Do you agree with the representation of Indigenous peoples and climate change action in the video? Why or why not 

I agree with the representation of indigenous people and climate change action in this video because we are being unfair to the indigenous people and ignoring their concerns which is not helpful because they are the ones telling us information to stop chopping down trees and reduce carbon dioxide. 

What are the opportunities and challenges in taking seriously Indigenous perspectives of climate change? Consider factors that facilitate or hinder ethical responses to climate change, including social and economic inequities, political dynamics, marginalization, discrimination, state, military/police power, etc

The challenges in taking indigenous perspectives of climate change seriously because sometimes government laws change and military forces can force indigenous people off their lands. Also, politicians and leaders are ignoring the indigenous and not socializing with them. Most countries in this world are developing countries and developing countries strengthen their economy by logging and planting crops.
