The hurt within the village of Paguate by Native Sun News. In the article, “Laguna Pueblo still affected by Uranium mine”, talks about the damage the uranium mine sites took on the people of the village. Leaving the land to stand by itself with all the hazardous chemicals and leaving people to be dependent on the dollar bills. In one of the sections of the article a member says, “Back then, people had more respect for our way of life. It affected the way we do certain things. We have our mother entity creator who we ask for guidance… Now it's all about money. Money is evil, we still rely on deities everyday. Once we lose that we are no longer a people, the elders remind us.” As time passes, our people are still struggling with recovery of the land and self.

Through change, difficulties, and fighting for land back, Indigenous Groups Fight Climate Change by getting their 'Land Back' by ABC News. In the video "Indigenous Groups Fight Climate Change by getting their 'Land Back', to restore the land that was lost, taken, or used to build wealth. As these challenges occur we worry about our mothers cries for help to save her. Chief Anne Richardson from Rappahannock tribe said, "what would you do to harm you mother?", which people who don't understand the meaning of this earth. With having a open and brighter mind about our earth, we can start saving her before its to late. 

When watching this video it had a good connection to my Senior Honors Project as it talked about a new era. Its a new time in history of the world, she's crying out for us Indigenous people to return to the land. I liked when a male named Dune Lankard founder of Native Conservancy said, "Let us step up and be the guardians and the stewards that we have always been." Being stewards has always been a role to keep this earth alive but now we're losing her. 

The crisis that our communities are facing once again by Christopher Favelle and Kalen Goodluck. In the article "Disposed, Again: Climate Change Hits Native Americans Especially Hard", with no help or assistance from the Federal Government, our history is once again repeating. No water, no crops, and no climate justice, we as Indigenous people are losing the importance of what keeps us alive in spirit and health. For example it says "The first Americans face the loss of home once again." Which is so true becase now you see all the living, flying, and seasons changing, those are the things we protect ourselves with. What can we do?

In reading this article, it's sad to say that our own Federal Government doesn't want to help us. Then you see them trying to use or take our land for climate distruption. When seeing it and living in it, this makes me worried for out next generation because living on a dirty, not safe earth is depressing. Especially if its on our own community, that has protected you for all these years. As time moves quickly, climate change is to but as long as we protect our Mother Earth greatness will return. 

Creating renewable energy and sharing Indigenous Hawaiian knowledge by KHON2 News.  In the video "Empowered Hawaii: A Climate for Change", their community is taking charge for the land people. BY ending their dependents on impacted fossil fuels, letting them make a commitment to 100% clean energy. As the Governor of Hawaii David Y. Ige had mentioned, "We as island communities. We do see the impacts of climate change." This allows the Hawaiian communities to solve climate change, taking charge to take care of their land. They will continue to commit to new energy and ideas throughout the years. 

Realizing and making connections to my Seniors Honors Project, the Hawaiinas are taking the action to heal the earth. This gives the motivation for myself to be apart of that action, to be a voice. By wise words from the Governor Davide I feel I, we, all can make that change. Sharing knowledge of acknowledgement we could make it happen and make those commitments. It's time for a new change, a new era of climate.
