Centering Indigenous knowledge in environmental justice

As an urgency around climate change continues to grow, so does the recognition of the importance of Indigenous knowledge as a central component of environmental justice.

On a federal level, further recognition was announced in the form of a large sum of funding.

On Monday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced $177 million in funding to create 17 Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Centers across the country. In the Pacific Northwest, two centers will work together to serve communities and tribes in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
