Indigenous guardian program brings hope, sovereignty to Manitoba’s last undammed river: Thanks to the persistence of five Indigenous communities, Indigenous youth will be able to realize dreams of becoming river guides and stewards of their territory as they protect the 50,000-square-kilometre watershed, home to about two dozen at-risk species, from the impacts of climate change. The land itself stores almost two billion tonnes of carbon — equivalent to eight years worth of Canada’s emissions — in its tundra, forests and wetlands.

‘Removing the evidence of our existence’: Logging of culturally important trees rampant in B.C:  Trees are an important marker of Indigenous Peoples’ presence on and stewardship of the land, and not enough is being done to protect them.
