Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug leadership highlighted on CPAC on Sunday at 8pm CT
John Glen as he travels 600 kilometres north of Thunder Bay to Big Trout Lake where the Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (KI) have lived for thousands of years surrounded by the Boreal Forest.
It is one of the last, great, undeveloped spaces on the planet and is one of the world’s largest intact ecosystems.
Glen talks with KI community leaders who were recently incarcerated after protesting the development of a mineral exploration site on their land without consultation.
He’ll also talk with the Wildlands League, an environmental group that has been lobbying the Ontario Government to protect this valuable and essential ecosystem.
We’ll also learn more about the Ontario Government’s recent plan to safeguard the forest by reforming and modernizing the Mining Act.
