The Haskell Environmental Research Studies Center provides support for programs of interest to American Indian and Alaska Native communities and has most recently focused on the effects of climate change on indigenous communities. Wildcat has authored a variety of articles and books, including Power and Place: Indian Education in America, which he co-wrote with the late Vine Deloria, Jr. His book Red Alert! Saving the Planet with Indigenous Knowledge draws on American Indian cultural practices and nature-centered beliefs to advocate a modern strategy to combat global warming.
