"We're looking for regulatory change. We're looking for a concrete regulatory system that's going to protect the community downstream from major development upstream... Right now we don't have that nationally, and we don't have that provincially." #ableg #ImperialOil

“I remember calling the Guardians and saying: Let’s do this.” Guardians are on the front lines of wildfire response–particularly in remote communities. Read about how Guardians brought this community together in response to a wildfire in Fort Good Hope!✊ bit.ly/3W7zcQo

As fires become more frequent & severe, training more Indigenous Guardians in fire management and response could help improve community safety and reduce costs of wildfire evacuation. The latest from @Christiansonamy et al. explores the impacts. bit.ly/4eZmlsp

Our book, Remembering Our Relations, is above all an oral history project. The story of our people’s expulsion from WBNP is told by leaders and Elders. The book includes audio of firsthand accounts. We’ll be sharing clips from these stories on this page in the coming weeks.
