The climate change impacts affecting the health of our culture and community are intertwined and developing adaptation strategies that promote cultural continuity includes promoting a sustainable community and vice versa. The adaptation strategies initially explored regarding the climate change impacts that are affecting these aspects of our health are principally initiatives that can be planned, developed, and implemented by the community with little or no outside assistance. However, there are other potential adaptation strategies specific to addressing climate change impacts at the community and regional levels that would require collaborative approaches with other communities and researchers; as well as regional, territorial, and federal governments.
