#31 Giving up isn't an option. Feels from the frontlines w/ Indigenous leader Bernadette Demientieff
This season we’ve been taking a deep dive into how climate change makes us feel - how it impacts us emotionally and spiritually - on a heart level.
But what if your whole culture and identity were imperiled right now? This episode, we're honored to share the powerful, aching story of Bernadette Demientieff - a leader of the Gwich’in in Alaska. She's fighting for the survival of her way of life and sacred land - threatened by being on the frontlines of climate change, but also a cruel new effort to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Show notes:
- Please protect the Arctic Refuge from drilling: https://p2a.co/SWk1fuB
- No Place Like Home is hosted by Mary Anne Hitt and Anna Jane Joyner
- We are produced by Zach Mack
- Our theme music is by River Whyless
- We are supported by the Sierra Club

We lovingly dedicate this episode to our mentor and friend, Lenny Kohm.
