It’s not just our homes that are at risk from climate change; it’s our customs, songs, and stories. Doing that goes beyond the practical question of how people will carry their heritage into a world reshaped by climate change. Climate change, like the coal industry that fostered it, threatens to rewrite some of the region’s cultural memory. Eisele, who is beginning a folklife project focused on climate change, manages Borderlore, a journal operated by the Southwest Folklife Alliance. Many of the interviews Eisele and others have collected focus on the impacts of climate change on Indigenous traditions and how those traditions are changing.
