 g>FROM CATALOG</strong></p>\n<p>You can't turn on the news today without a
  report on the latest extreme weather event. But while politicians to argu
 e\, the truth is that climate change is already here. Nobody knows this be
 tter than indigenous people who\, having developed an intimate relationshi
 p with ecosystems over generations\, have observed these changes for years
 . For them\, it is not a theory but the reality of daily life.</p>\n<p>Gle
 b Raygorodetsky reveals that these islands of biological and cultural dive
 rsity in the ever-rising sea of development and urbanization represent a "
 archipelago of hope\," for here lies humankind's best chance to remember o
 ur roots and how to take care of the Earth. These communities are implemen
 ting creative solutions to meet these new challenges. Solutions that are r
 elevant to the rest of us.</p>\n<p>We meet the Ilchamus of Kenya\, the Alt
 ai of Russia\, the Skolt Sami of Finland\, the Karen of Myanmar\, the Sapa
 ra of Ecuador\, the Kuku Nyungkal of Australia\, and the Tla-o-qui-aht of 
 Canada. Intimate portraits of these men and women\, youth and elders\, eme
 rge against the backdrop of their traditional practices on land and water.
  Though there are brutal realties--pollution\, corruption\, forced assimil
 ation--Raygorodetsky's prose resonates with the positive\, the adaptive\, 
 the spiritual--and hope.</p>\n<p><br />This group will meet the second Wed
 nesday of each month.&nbsp\;Registration is required.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><stro
