Indigenous environmental justice describes an approach to addressing environmental issues that centers Indigenous rights and knowledge over lands, oceans and skies. In Sāmoa, global markets for overfishing and resource extraction as well as climate change and rising sea levels impacts the people, environment, and culture of Sāmoa and other Pacific nations. This program explores issues such as biodiversity loss, rising seas levels, increasing climate disaster and various environmental justice efforts at community and national levels in response. Indigenous environmental justice efforts in Sāmoa provide a holistic understanding of how community resilience, science, the arts, activism andIndigenous sovereignty works together. This course will include National University of Sāmoa guest lecturers, home stays, and excursions and is completed alongside ES 488/588 Samoan Culture: Indigeneity beyond Settler Colonialism.
