Native Americans already face a variety of air quality problems including allergies, respiratory
infections, higher rates of asthma than the national average, and lung cancer associated with poor
indoor air quality. Climate change may exacerbate air quality issues. This webinar will focus on
climate change impacts on air quality and on actions that Native people can and are taking to
ensure the health of their communities and of the environment. For many Native people, air is a
significant element found in many parts of their cultures, songs, and ceremonies thus playing a
vital role in their daily and spiritual well-being.
