The Indigenous Lands Symposium, a five-day event, brings together nearly 300 land practitioners, government representatives, and funders from across Canada to discuss land management, cultural revitalization, and climate change action.
Indigenous Peoples from across Canada are in the Sault this week for the Indigenous Lands Symposium, a five-day gathering that has brought together nearly 300 land practitioners, government representatives and funders under one roof.
“We operate under a strategy, and a key part of that strategy is building that kinship and rekindling the relationship across territories and our sister nations, and we are in a time of nation building in Canada,” Flood told SooToday. A presentation on the First Nations National Guardians Network, a funding mechanism launched by Canada for Indigenous-led conservation efforts, was also a part of Wednesday’s itinerary.
“If you go to where our communities are, we are more rural and remote, and more susceptible to the impact of climate change — and it’s our stewardship and our responsibility to take that active role in our traditional territories.” Wahkohtowin Development GP Inc. was established in 2016, following a decade of geo-political conversation centred on forestry within the Northeast Superior Regional Chiefs Forum.
“We’re hearing nothing but positive feedback. The Delta Hotel is structured in such a way that we can do it all here,” he said.
