Saulteau First Nation in northeast B.C. is reclaiming abandoned oil wells to restore traditional lands. The initiative, Aski Reclamation, has planted over 9,000 trees, restoring biodiversity and bringing back medicinal plants. This effort not only repairs environmental damage but also strengthens the Nation’s connection to their land.
