Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC)’s Post

“One of the most important tools to combat this kind of environmental injustice is procedural justice: ensuring that all affected people are informed, can express their opinions, and influence decisions. For Tribes, procedural justice is especially important. Even though they were forced off their lands, Tribes retained inherent sovereignty and maintain a government-to-government relationship with the federal government. Several federal statutes mandate Tribal consultation to inform Tribes of potential impacts to their historical and cultural resources and to protect their cultural resources.” If you are working with NW tribes consider taking part in Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI). One of the many issues that ATNI are focused on is Climate Resiliency and working through Washington Conservation Action & Native Vote Washington to get the vote out to defend Washington’s Climate Commitement Act. Let’s all forge new protocols to center our climate action with Tribal consultation.
