College of Menominee Nation Sustainable Development Institute will host a 3-day summit October 15th-17th, 2014, focused on different levels of climate change adaptation training for Tribes. This event will also include opportunities to network between indigenous practitioners, tribal leaders & land managers, federal agencies, and climate change scientists. The information is specific to the northeast region, but is open to all who are interested in the issues of climate change and Tribes. The event is being planned with assistance from the Northern Arizona University (NAU) Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP), Michigan State University (MSU) faculty, and is funded by the Department of Interior’s (DOI) Bureau of Indian Affairs Climate Change program, the Northeast Climate Science Center and the Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessment center (GLISA). October 14th is an optional day and will focus on short presentations and a field trip into the Menominee forest that will generate dialogue on Tribal Colleges/Universities and their capacity to assist Tribal and surrounding communities in addressing climate change issues.
