Wet'suwet'en Witness: Environmental Justice, Racism and Northern Ontario

This session will focus on environmental racism. It is our hope that this webinar will enable participants to make connections with the Wet'suwet'en struggle in order to grapple with the intersection between Indigenous rights/sovereignty and the environment, and thereby, to explore how pipeline development et al in this case, is a form of environmental racism. We'd also like to enable participants to make connections to our Northern Ontario reality where this has/is also happening.
