Wild Pacific salmon in BC are in a state of crisis. Now is the time to recognize the areas where we can take action to protect this iconic species. See list of 120 First Nations who support transition of salmon farms out of BC waters here: bit.ly/3NXeQ9T

We, the Red River Métis, believe that attempting to categorize all individuals of mixed race as Métis is a form of cultural erasure. For those who have identified as Métis their entire lives and held fast to our culture, it's deeply troubling to see our identities being overshadowed by those from outside the homeland with distant connections. It seems that the only feasible course of action is to return to the original governance structure, which Canada is treaty-bound to uphold. The Red River Métis Government is the only sovereign Métis nation and holds the legal rights in this matter. Recognizing other jurisdictions poses a challenge as it threatens our nation's sovereignty. In essence, these organizations are colonial constructs, their legitimacy not stemming from the original source of authority - the Provisional Government. Ultimately, there should be no Act and no legislation dividing us. We stand united as the Red River Métis people, undivided by anyone. MÉTIS ≠ MIXED Visit fnrightsatrisk.ca for more information.

It's speaks to the old saying that you are judged by how those that are in need of the most help are supported.....

Stó:lō Tribal Council Chief @STCTye said settler governments can reduce risk by integrating #Indigenous perspectives. Stó:lō means river or water. Stó:lō Nation accepted water's agency & moved with its cycles. Settlers drained Semá:th Xhotsa (Sumas Lake) for farms and homes.
