Which line from the text best supports the claim that Indigenous Louisianians face greater climate-related losses than their non-Indigenous neighbors?
a
By studying satellite imagery of southern Louisiana, he found that majority-Indigenous communities around the Grand Caillou and Dulac area were losing land at more than twice the rate of the rest of the state.
