The indigenous peoples of the world will suffer, and are suffering, impacts of climate change in ways that are different from the kinds of impacts that will be suffered by the cosmopolitan peoples that inhabit most of the centers of political and economic power in the world today. The material cultures of indigenous peoples tend to be woven into the ecosystems where they live. Their religious cultures also tend to be rooted in the particular places where they live. The roots of their cultural identities reach back into mythic time, with countless generations of traditional ecological knowledge.
