A GIS Analysis
of Climate Change and Snowpack on Columbia Basin Tribal Lands,

This group is an outgrowth of FCRPS BiOp remand process and tribal-action agency MOAs. Its formation reinstated and expanded the Columbia River water management group function: to provide a forum for exchange on forecasting, flood control and water management in the Columbia River basin.

Culture of PlaceTribal culture is at its most fundamental a culture of place. The plants, animals, indeed the very land itself defined the tribal inhabitants living on it. It shaped their languages, diets, societies, and religions. They viewed themselves as a part of the interconnectedness of nature, and strove to live by that understanding. Despite modern society’s beliefs and actions to the contrary, everything is still very much interconnected. Today the planet is faced with the grim results of forgetting this simple truth, and only through cooperation, openness, and sharing do we have any chance at finding a solution.

The
Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission and its member tribes are
aggressively addressing climate change and its effects on tribal fisheries
and water resources, as well as other natural and cultural resources.
There is an important need for the tribes to prepare for, mitigate and
adapt natural resource programs and policies to manage the effects of
climate change. CRITFC is supporting these efforts through collaboration,
coordination and development of science and technology (i.e. conducting
technical research on climate change impacts on tribal lands), and development
and coordination of tribal mitigation and adaptation strategies and actions
in state, federal and other venues.
