'Here We Stand': River journey protests controversial bills
A 20-year-old university student from Attawapiskat First Nation in northern Ontario is putting his summer on hold — to take a 400-kilometre boat journey in protest against Bill C-5 and Ontario's Bill 5, which he says threaten his people’s land, culture and way of life.
APTN has just posted their recent national news report on Jeronimo Kataquapit and his campaign on the Attawapiskat River. He did a fantastic job of representing his people, the land and the protest against these government bills.
