Sorry if this is a double posting--a computer glitch is making me extra 
cautious:

Science centers involved in the IGLO project, or otherwise planning to put 
together exhibits/programs on climate change, might want to consider 
including the voices of native peoples, as many of them are experiencing the 
effects of global warming first hand, and a number are also doing something 
about it.

In early December 2006, representatives from 55 North Amer. tribes around 
the country gathered in Somerton, Arizona in the first-ever Native American 
climate change conference , co-sponsored by the National Wildlife 
Federation.  Participants talked about how they are being impacted by global 
warming, as well as the steps they are taking to reduce global warming 
pollution and simultaneously foster economic development, natural resource 
sustainability and cultural preservation.  There was also much discussion 
about partnering with non-Native organizations/groups to foster 
cross-cultural education on global warming issues.
