Climate change and resilience to climate change in Indigenous communities requires a compilation of many forms of data such as Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), oral histories, resilience models, and climate change modeling and frameworks. A proposed framework that takes into account all of these special and unique forms of data as well as principles of data governance and sovereignty will be presented as a first step forward for Indigenous populations who are developing climate change adaptation plans.
