Beaver Lake Cree Nation is taking on the tar sands – Canada’s fastest growing source of climate pollution. Already the largest industrial project on Earth, tar sands extraction has poisoned water, eliminated whole forests, and decimated traditional food sources for the Beaver Lake Cree people. Expanding the tar sands will mean more pipelines and tankers for BC and game over for a stable climate.
The Beaver Lake Cree Nation is the first ever to challenge and be granted a trial on the cumulative impacts of industrial development. We are all treaty people. How then shall we live?
It’s time to join forces to protect the environment, climate, and Indigenous People’s right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent. Are you in?
