Indigenous peoples and climate change

The reading by Johnson says that Indigenous peoples have traditional ecological knowledge of the environment. Traditional ecological knowledge is sometimes seen as seasonal knowledge. Why might somebody say that climate change is not a new topic for human beings? • What are 6 examples of, historically, how people lived “seasonally”? • What type of knowledge did people have of the climate system historically? • How are calendars an example of keeping track of climate change? • In what ways, historically, did climate change affect human societies in the Arctic? (including cultural, economic and political changes, among others)
