    When Global Warming Kills Your God

    It's easy to forget that indigenous people in this country continue to hunt and fish to survive. Twenty-three defendants stood trial in June 2012 in Alaska, where fishing for salmon had been banned, but a practice for the Yup’ik people which is as natural as falling asleep at night.

    It's easy to forget that indigenous people in this country continue to hunt and fish to survive. Twenty-three defendants stood trial in June 2012 in Alaska, where fishing for salmon had been banned, but a practice for the Yup’ik people which is as natural as falling asleep at night. Why the ban? And why hold a depleting population on trial for acting in respect of culture and tradition? Adam Weymouth covered the trial and the implications in his article for The Atlantic, "When Global Warming Kills Your God".
