Document Summary

Environmental issues are not just about the environment-> also affect indigenous peoples. Need further research that would benefit the people of the arctic. Arctic is threatened with cultural distinction due to environmental degradation. Environmental issues need to be discussed in the human rights arena. Develop economies with technology that is sustainable. Governments are currently taking a short term view. Ignoring the needs of the people and the earth. Addressed society as a whole rather than just feminism. Forcing them to live in similar conditions to us without their choice. We are indirectly taking over their society and thus their culture and lives. Forcing them to change their culture and alter their lives and assimilate into what we view as the proper society. Climate change is a women"s issue because it affects everyone. Indigenous women often farm and without a sustainable environment, they cannot continue these practices. Deep connection on campus and indigenous people. Male domination also takes place in nature.
