You need to analyse an environmental issue affecting an indigenous community and explain what's causing it and who's affected. Then you discuss the consequences of that issue for the indigenous people and support your analysis with proper evidence. This is about understanding how environmental and social problems impact indigenous peoples and being able to explain those impacts with backing material.
