We’re excited to be at IAWF Wildland Fire Canada this week, where Amy Christianson is sharing about the importance of #Indigenousfirestewardship & how equipping Guardians can reduce wildfire risk & safeguard ecosystems for the future.

What a wonderful start to the main program of the Wildland Fire Canada conference with a sunrise ceremony from Wolastoq elders by the St John River. Then it was straight into the opening session with a full house in Fredericton and many online globally #WFCC2024

🔥 At this year's Wildland Fire Conference, Dr. Amy Christianson & Dr. Tara McGee joined leaders and experts from across the country to discuss Indigenous Fire Stewardship and wildfire evacuations. A powerful opportunity to connect, share strategies, and learn from one another.

A MASSIVE victory for the Wolastoqey Nation’s Aboriginal title claim. A precedent setting decision confirming that Aboriginal title can issue over privately held land. I was honoured to work on this for the Wolastoqey, along with my incredible team oktlaw. 🪶 #LandBack

Something to celebrate: an unprecedented agreement has been signed to establish the NWT ‘Our Land for the Future’ initiative, which will be one of the largest #Indigenous-led land #conservation initiatives in the world.

Shield Keepers are more than caretakers — they are the bridge between buffalo and people. By revitalizing ancestral Blackfoot knowledge, they’re creating a path where the land, the buffalo, and their community can thrive together. 🦬 bit.ly/4gi17FM The Narwhal

🌕 The #ColdMoon is a time to be thankful—for the gifts of the land, the teachings of our ancestors, and the opportunities to practice culture. It’s a time to celebrate our successes but also to embrace rest, recognizing that, like nature, life is cyclical. ✨ Artist: Hawlii

“We're talking about good fire, we're talking about putting fires where we want, when we want, for reasons that we want.” Healthy ecosystems sustain life, and "good fire" is key to restoring landscapes. 🔥 Amy Christianson
