S2 | E1: The Wampanoag Tribe and Climate Change The Leadership Exchange Podcast

    • Natural Sciences

Get ready to meet the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head, Aquinnah, in this introductory episode of Season 2 of The Leadership Exchange Podcast. In this episode, you’ll hear directly from Wampanoag Tribal Council member and Elder, Kristina Hook; Historic Preservation Officer, Bettina Washington; and Tribal Ranger and Keeper of the Gay Head Light, Chris Manning. Our guests will discuss ways in which they are already seeing the impacts of climate change in their community. We’ll also ask them about the idea of “trust responsibility” before ending the episode with a simple question - what does the land mean to you? As you’ll come to learn throughout this episode, the answer is quite plainly “everything.”
