WHEREAS, our ancestors relied upon the lands and

waters of our territories for survival, sustenance,

transportation, health, spiritual wellness, culture,

community, and economy – just as we do today and as

our children will into the future; and

WHEREAS, there is overwhelming scientific evidence

of climate change driven in part by the release of

greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, as documented in

the Colville Tribes “Summary of Projected Changes in

Physical Conditions Across the Colville Tribes Study

Area (2019)”; and

WHEREAS, the effects of climate change, evident on

global and regional scales, has caused significant

temperature and precipitation fluctuations to the

territories of the Colville Tribes which result with

decreased snowpack, increased ecological drought,

increased wildland fire frequency and intensity,

increased wind/dust storm and flood events, alterations

to plant and animal phenology, and other associated

effects on the environment and natural resources, as

documented in the “Natural Resources Climate Change

Vulnerability Assessment (2018),” on which the

Colville Tribes has traditionally relied; and

WHEREAS, the effects of climate change also have the

potential to negatively impact and exacerbate the

vulnerabilities of cultural, social, health, public safety,

and economic welfare of the Colville Tribes’

homelands, environment and resources; and

WHEREAS, it is the duty and responsibility of the

Colville Tribes to provide for the health, safety and well

being of the community, its local environment, natural

resources, and social systems; and

WHEREAS, through traditional knowledge, practice,

experience, and relationships with the lands and waters

of our territories and jurisdictions, the Colville Tribes

has an important role in defending and healing the

natural environment and the Colville Tribes’ homelands;

and

WHEREAS, there is a need for the Environmental Trust

Department to coordinate the Colville Tribes’ climate

change adaptation and mitigation efforts with all

Divisions of the Tribal government; and

WHEREAS, it is the recommendation of the Colville

Business Council that all Divisions of the Tribal

government will support coordinated climate change

adaptation and mitigation efforts which are culturally

responsive, climate neutral, equitable, and resilient;
