Traditional #Hogans as well as modern versions are also very effective against #ExtremeHeat. I found #StandingTheHeat fascinating -- and not surprising. We need to look to #AncientTechnologies for inspiration, and use #sustainable materials to build structures that can withstand #ClimateChange. #SolarPunk + #TraditionalKnowledge!

[Short film]: Standing the Heat

"In a journey of reconnection, #NavajoNation filmmaker Steven Tallas explores the #hogan - a small, unassuming traditional structure found across the Navajo Nation. Remaining cool in the summers and warm in the winters, this short film revisits the hogan amid a warming American Southwest."
