'All our Relations' is a thread woven across these themes emphasizing that climate change is understood and experienced through relationships and relationality. Our analysis identified five themes: 1) observations and experiences of changes on the land, 2) lack of care and respect for Mother Earth as the root cause of climate change, 3) healthy land, healthy people, 4) youth and future generations, and 5) (re-)connecting with land and culture.
Two-Eyed Seeing, an approach that centers the working together of Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledges and peoples and demands respectful relationship building, guided our project and analysis. This paper describes the analysis of interviews with 22 community members. Fort William First Nation is an Anishinaabe community located on the shores of Lake Superior/ Kitchigami in Northern Ontario and within Robinson-Superior Treaty territory. Throughout 20, Fort William First Nation and researchers at Lakehead University conducted a project to document and understand connections among climate change, land, and health from the perspective of Elders, knowledge keepers, and community members with close ties to the land. The myriad and cumulative impacts of climate change on land, communities, and health are increasingly evident worldwide.
