DESCRIPTION:Event details at http://dcgreenscene.com/event-detail/259 \n\n
 In the Russian Federation North\, indigenous peoples are affected by inter
 twined ecological\, economic and political changes. A hallmark of post-Sov
 iet life has been new possibilities for group expression and organization.
  Yet\, these possibilities sometimes collide with increasing conflict betw
 een indigenous peoples and developers over land rights and local land use.
  Climate change and the political climate imposed from Moscow—concerning
  recentralization of administrative authority and renegotiation of indigen
 ous rights—may further exacerbate such tensions. This talk is based on c
 ollaborative\, political anthropology done in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia)
  of Russia's Far East.
