One cannot start the news today with out a report on an extreme-weather event or the most recent update on Antarctica. But while our politicians claim, the truth is that climate change is already right here. Nobody does know this better than Indigenous peoples who, having created an intimate romantic relationship with ecosystems over years, have noticed these changes for decades. To them, weather change isn’t an abstract idea or policy concern, but the fact of daily life. After two decades of functioning about The Archipelago of Wish: Intelligence and Resilience from the Edge of Climate Switch with indigenous communities, Gleb Raygorodetsky shows how these communities are in fact islands of natural and cultural diversity in the ever-rising sea of development and urbanization. They may be an “archipelago of hope” as we enter the Anthropocene, for right here lies humankind’s greatest chance to remember our roots and how to take care of the planet earth. These areas are implementing innovative solutions to satisfy these modern difficulties. Solutions that are relevant to ordinary people. We meet up with the Skolt Sami of Finland, the Nenets and Altai of Russia, the Sapara of Ecuador, the Karen of Myanmar, as well as the Tla-o-qui-aht of Canada. Intimate portraits of these men and women, youngsters and elders, emerge against the background of their traditional practices on land and water. Although there are brutal realties-pollution, problem, pressured assimilation?Raygorodetsky’s prose resonates with the positive, the adaptive, the religious?and hope.
