Abstract
Although Indigenous people's 'low carbon' livelihoods have contributed little to the rise in global greenhouse gas emissions, they are disproportionately affected by climate change because they depend on local ecosystems for sustenance. In northern Ontario, there has been little effort to engage with or understand how Indigenous peoples are experiencing and adapting to climate change. WCS Canada has been studying the impacts of climate change on lake trout since 2007 and in 2013 we convened community members from the Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (KI) First Nation to discuss likely impacts of climate change on valued resources in their territory and the Big Trout Lake Watershed.
