Native Traditions and Climate Change

Northwest Greenland is home to one of the most remote human settlements on earth. Just a thousand native Inughuit people live in one subsistence hunting community but climate change may force them to leave the melting ice and re-settle further south.

Climate change may soon force the Inughuit people of northern Greenland to abandon their icy home and traditional hinting way of life. Cambridge University researcher Stephen Pax Leonard tells host Jeff Young about his upcoming yearlong trip to document the Inughuit language and culture.
