How is this representation of climate change similar to the other things you’ve read/viewed? How is different?
This video is similar to what I've viewed because it talks about indigenous people and how they have been affected by colonization and climate change. It is different from what I've watched because went in depth about carbon emissions and indigenous people's rights.
Where do you see the influence of Indigenous peoples in this video? Where is it missing?
I saw the influence of indigenous peoples in their influence of REDD+. I also saw their influence when the man talked to his people baout climate change. I think their influence was missing in parts that didn't affect them, as well as in the past, when their opinions were not listened to as much.
What solutions to climate change does this video propose?
The video talks about stopping the cutting down of forests, returning land to indigenous peoples, and reducing carbon emissions.
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 peoples because I think they are accurately represented and I also think that the climate actions would be helpful and benifit the cause.
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.
I think a challenge facing indigenous perspectives is the power the government has and how they can take away and control the indigenous people's land. They also don't seem overly invested in communicating with the indigenous people to make compromises.
