Description

"For Native nations and activists, the Green New Deal holds promise. Its commitment to principles of environmental justice is highly relevant to us, but can only work if articulated in a way that addresses our specific concerns. We might think of this as 'Indigenizing' environmental justice and see the Green New Deal as decolonizing work."
