My thesis is live! Click to learn more about wildfire risk for rural Indigenous communities, the necessity of Indigenous sovereignty in restoring of fire-dependent lands, barriers from BC mule deer winter range & SXFN solutions thru proactive stewardship🔥
Super excited to say that I passed my defense today. This research would not have been possible without the support & permission from @canoecreekband, my fabulous exam committee, the @LoriDanielsUBC lab group, & my family & friends. Stay tuned for a final version of my thesis🔥🌲

Thank you to Phyllis Webstad (from Stswecem’c Xget’tem) for the reminder about how this day started and what the orange shirts were always about 🧡 my heart is with the survivors and their families today.
The survivor whose story sparked Orange Shirt Day — and the “Every Child Matters” movement — says she's worried the cause is being forgotten. “It needs to be respected — I need to be respected — and I don’t feel I have that.” Story by @aaron_hemens

Both of these incidents are near places I once lived and are incredibly serious, but it seems like only one is getting the attention & resources it deserves. In both cases, I am thinking about the Indigenous Nations that rely on salmon from these watersheds đź’”
Help me understand how a catastrophic failure at the Vic gold mine in Yukon occurred weeks ago and imaging of the result is mere drone pictures, if you’re lucky. Meanwhile, I’ve been inundated with amazing imaging of this remarkable slide, hours after it happened.

My heart is going out to my loved ones in WL tonight. I hope they can get this one out quickly!
A local state of emergency is being issued in Williams Lake after a wildfire erupted in the community. #WilliamsLake Mayor Surinderpal Rathor confirmed he had signed the declaration Sunday, just hours after the fire was sparked. @CityNewsVAN

Absolutely heartbreaking to hear this story and witness the grief up here bc of it.. The lack of timely and substantive response from the mine & YG has frustrated many who call Na-Cho Nyak Dun Territory home
