This past Saturday, Feburary 20th, 2009 the Richmond Native Wellness Center located in Richmond, California hosted a presentation on climate change and what it means to Indigenous people.
Tony Gonzalez, director of AIM-West, and youth journalist Gemma Givens shared their experiences at the Copenhagen climate talks that took place in December 2009 and discussed how climate change affects Indigenous peoples.
SPIRITUAL THOUGHTS ABOUT NATIVE LEADEARSHIP IN INDIAN COUNTRY
The objective for Indian Country is to try to do everything a little better tomorrow than it was done today. Continuous improvement is the path to a higher standard of Native leadership for today's issues in Indian Country.
We need to acknowledge in Indian Country that attachments, such as Power, Privilege and Material Possessions can make it difficult to maintain high moral and spiritual standards for we as Native People.
