dc.description.abstract | During climate change, wildfires will increase in frequency and size, equating to an increase in wildfire evacuation frequency and duration. Keewaytinook Okimakinak Tribal Council (KO) struggled to identify a role and scope of practice during the 2021 wildfire evacuations of their communities due to the absence of a defined role of tribal councils during emergency evacuations. To identify the role of KO, and improve their response, there were three research questions: 1) What is the current role of self-care and self-determination in KO service? 2) what were the perspectives, experiences, and recommendations from KO service providers and community volunteers who played a role in the wildfire-driven evacuations of several KO communities in the summer of 2019 and 2021? 3) What recommended practical and systematic changes can be suggested that promote self-care and self-determination while considering SDH differences and is culturally appropriate?
