According to the artist, the main message of the piece is that \u201cwe need a Redo on our climate change response,\u201d as Alaska\u2019s summer temperatures reached record breaking levels in 2019.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the main consequences of ongoing climate change is melting of glaciers as a result of global warming. With melting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/glaciers-in-art\/\">glaciers<\/a>, global <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/sea-level-rise-and-coastal-flooding-recent\/\">sea level is rising<\/a> and impacting coastal communities world wide. Indigenous communities in Alaska are severely impacted by climate change. Melting ice and heavy rains over the course of the last 40-50 years, for example, disrupt traditional hunting methods by diminishing wildlife populations and melting away the grounds that were once safe to live and hunt on.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">People from the Inupiat tribe in the coastal town of Nome, Alaska were able to notice the signs of climate change even before researchers and scientists had a name for them. These signs included the changing ice conditions, the frequency of earlier winters, colder spring temperatures, and soil erosion due to melting ice and rising sea levels.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><b>References and additional resources<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cInterview with Painter + Muralist James Temte.\u201d <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Artistic Allies<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, 22 Oct. 2019, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/artisticallies.com\/interview-painter-james-temte\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/artisticallies.com\/interview-painter-james-temte\/<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cJames Temte &#8211; ANTHC APU Project Manager.\u201d <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alaska Pacific University<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alaskapacific.edu\/people\/james-temte\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.alaskapacific.edu\/people\/james-temte\/<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Robinson, M. \u201cClimate Change: Is There Hope for Indigenous Alaskans.\u201d <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rotary<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotary.org\/en\/climate-change-there-hope-indigenous-alaskans#:~:text=As%20the%20cycle%20continues%20and,eating%20away%20at%20the%20land\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.rotary.org\/en\/climate-change-there-hope-indigenous-alaskans#:~:text=As%20the%20cycle%20continues%20and,eating%20away%20at%20the%20land<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to cite this page<\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Redo (2019) by James Temte<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
