The Kaw Nation, located in Kay County, Oklahoma, faces
significant challenges due to climate change, such as rising temperatures,
fluctuating precipitation, and extreme weather events. These changes threaten
the Nation’s natural resources, cultural heritage, and community well-being.
Climate change is reshaping ecosystems and communities
worldwide, and the Kaw Watershed is no exception. Rising global temperatures,
shifting precipitation patterns, and an increased frequency of extreme weather
events are altering the delicate balance of Kaw Lake, a vital resource for
water supply, recreation, and cultural practices. Located in northern Oklahoma,
Kaw Lake faces unique challenges due to its ecological, economic, and cultural
significance to the Kaw Nation and surrounding communities. This document
outlines a comprehensive set of climate adaptation strategies to enhance
resilience, protect ecosystems, and preserve the Kaw Nation’s cultural
identity. The strategies are rooted in scientific research and traditional
ecological knowledge (TEK), ensuring a holistic approach to climate adaptation.
