 American Indian Tribes have continuously adapted to changing
 climates, culturally, physically, and politically, for thousands of
 years by adapting their lifestyles and cultural practices to their
 changing environment. Contemporary climate variability and changes on
 American Indian Tribes are again necessitating adaptation. Our
 presentation aims to share our understanding and our efforts as it
 relates to climate change and its impact on American Indian
 communities and lands. We will share stories of how Tribal Colleges
 are leading efforts that build resilience to climate change in their
 tribal communities; sharing our story of College of Menominee Nations
 Sustainable Development Institute.
