The Cumulative Effects of Forestry: Recognizing Treaty Rights
About this episode
We’re excited to be back with a new episode taking a closer look at a cumulative impacts (or combined effects of resource extraction over time) case happening in Ontario.
Missanabie Cree First Nation, Brunswick House First Nation, and Chapleau Cree First Nation have filed a case against Ontario, asserting the government has degraded the boreal forests in the province and inhibited their livelihoods, violating their treaty rights. We speak with attorney Amy Westland to get greater context for the case and why it’s so important for moving forward on the path to Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and the health of our forests.
