IVPodcast Ep. 66| Land, Climate, and the Stars!

This week we took a moment to reflect on how climate change is in fact changing our climate as we observe torrential downpours across Turtle Island and across the world.  Despite the doom and gloom that can set in we're hopeful and are staying busy with our Indigenous Mapping projects that create custom cumulative impact maps highlighting cultural, environmental, and social data that allows the public and leaders to monitor events, make decisions, inform others, and see trends.
