“Too often, federal decisions that affect our homelands are made without the engagement of the North Slope #Inupiat, the people these decisions will affect the most,” said Nagruk Harcharek, president of Voice of the #Arctic Inupiat, which represents Inupiat leadership organizations on the #NorthSlope & supports #oil & #gas projects.
The group supports allowing oil & gas projects in the region….

La loro sussistenza "è scandita dalla natura e dalle stagioni ed è basata su caccia, pesca nel fiume e raccolta dei prodotti della foresta.
Il progetto di estrazione di uranio, approvato senza alcun coinvolgimento della comunità locale, rischia di cancellare tutto questo.

#Inuit group calls for bigger role in #ClimateAction
The Inuit Circumpolar Council is seeking to bring the effects of #Arctic #CimateChange on their communities to the attention of participants of the #COP28 conference in Dubai

"The #InuitCircumpolarCouncil includes representatives in #Alaska, #Canada, #Greenland and #Russia. It is one of the six international #Indigenous organizations that have decision-making power at the eight-nation #ArcticCouncil. The Inuit Circumpolar Council has a COP 28 delegation, to include Alaska members.
"One key issue highlighted in the position paper is the Loss and Damage Fund that was created at last year’s COP 27 held in Egypt. As it is structured now, the fund is focused on helping poorer nations in the #GlobalSouth address the impacts of climate change.
"That leaves a big gap, said Inuit Circumpolar Chair #SaraOlsvig of Greenland.
"'This means that as it is structured now, Inuit and other Arctic #IndigenousPeoples will not have access to the fund, although we are among those most impacted by climate change,' Olsvig said by email. Given the rapid rate of Arctic warming and associated effects, 'the inclusion of Inuit in any policy and decision-making is of great importance,' she said."
