The Colorado Plateau Intertribal Conversations Group held a Intertribal Gathering, to bring Gathering Members from across the Colorado Plateau Region to present updates on past initiatives and to decide more ways to address the challenges facing Tribal communities in this region. For this gathering, the focus was on ways to mitigate the effects of Climate Change, especially in Tribal Communities. Discussions included improving the way tribes do things by supporting traditional dry-land farming practices, educating people on the effects of GMO’s or GM Foods, spring restoration projects, etc.
