The #Anishnabe community of #Kitsicakik in northwestern #Quebec will have access to #electricity after 50 years. It is one of the last communities in the country to be without power and it cost $35 million to accomplish.

🇨🇦 New #research spotlights Indigenous perspectives on energy and climate issues across Canada

Now in its fifth year, the annual program profiles #Indigenous expertise and solutions in responding to climate change and clean energy issues.

This year’s case studies focus on:

Why Indigenous-inclusive electricity transmission projects are essential to unlocking Canada’s renewable energy potential

How #FirstNations are uniquely positioned to achieve energy sovereignty while solving energy security for all New Brunswickers

Why #Anishnabe governance is essential to restoring healthy moose populations and a healthy climate

How Indigenous economic ecosystems are essential for climate adaptation and fisheries management

How the Friends of The #Attawapiskat River are working to ensure Indigenous communities, lands, water, and culture are protected in the Ring of Fire region

#FirstNations located around the resource-rich northern shore of #LakeSuperior are asking for $126-billion in compensation for the Crown’s failure to pay annuity increases promised in an 1850 treaty

I'd like to tag this #Reconciliation, but #Ontario is arguing that the #Anishnabe share of resources extracted from Lake Superior is more than covered by the $4 per person annually they've been receiving since the 1800s. So, not so much.
