Finding solutions is now essential.

The Cuban approach combines environmental science, natural solutions and community participation in strategies for adaptation and mitigation.

The Cherokee language is deeply tied to Cherokee identity; yet generations of assimilation efforts by the U.S. government and anti-Indigenous stigmas have forced the Tri-Council of Cherokee tribes to declare a State of Emergency for the language in 2019. While there are 430,000 Cherokee citizens in the three federally recognized tribes, fewer than an estimated 2,000 fluent speakers remain—the majority of whom are elderly.

This is a once in a generation event that needs to be examined without the usual spin that is delivered by the controlled media.
