Our Living Lands: Coping without Power Pt. 2

In the Navajo Nation, some families are dealing with the challenges of living without electricity. Now, a mutual aid program is connecting some of them to the grid for the first time. But it’s an effort that relies on volunteer workers and funding … and getting enough of each is a challenge, as Mountain West News Bureau’s Kaleb Roedel reports in the second installment of this two-part story. Our Living Lands is a five-minute, weekly segment focused on climate change’s impact on Indigenous communities across the country. The program highlights the wide-ranging impact of climate change – and shares potential solutions for addressing these problems. Our Living Lands is a collaboration of the Mountain West News Bureau, Koahnic Broadcast Corporation, and Native Public Media.
