Description

This qualitative study examines the connection between climate change, a changing sense of place, and health among Inuit living in Rigolet, Labrador. Findings illustrate how climate change is negatively affecting Inuit feelings of place attachment by disrupting activities on the land and changing local landscapes, resulting in subsequent impacts to physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being.
