Christopher (CJ) Carter is a Montana raised professional planner and filmmaker who has been working in the Arctic for nearly a decade. In step with Indigenous governments, communities, and organizations he has completed research, plans, and digital storytelling in the face of environmental change.

In this presentation, CJ is joined by Inuit colleagues Robert and Esau to describe the challenges that a changing Arctic brings to the rights and well-being of indigenous peoples, while offering a glimpse into inspiring practical action and leadership at play in that region and at a global level.

At one point CJ showed a short film, viewable on vimeo.com, entitled Life with Nanuuq.
