Culture and Climate Change in the Arctic with Dr. Bill Fitzhugh
Description:
Meet Dr. Bill Fitzhugh, an archaeologist at the National Museum of Natural History. When you think of the Arctic, do you envision an icebound, isolated place? Find out what the Arctic is really like and how people have coped with its unique conditions for thousands of years. Take a journey back to about 6,000 years ago when the first people lived in Labrador, Canada. See how they responded to changing climate over time. Join Bill in reflecting on how future changes may affect Arctic people. This video is part of the Smithsonian Science How webcast series and aligns with national science standards.
