Canada’s Indigenous Leaders Fighting Climate Change

Is Canada at a point of no return, suffering the effects of climate change and worsening wildfire seasons? Two controversial pipelines, the TransMountain Expansion Project (TMX) and Coastal GasLink (CGL), are being expanded and threatening the natural home of historically oppressed First Nations in Canada. But several First Nations are leading the fight against these massive pipelines and becoming key advocates for protecting nature from climate change.

Being a land defender comes at a cost: harassment, detentions by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
(RCMP) and threats from private security. But, in the face of setbacks, these indigenous activists press on: “We are still fighting. This dance is not over yet.” In this episode, we hear the stories of the indigenous communities on the receiving end of these huge pipelines and their fight for the protection of both humans and nature.
