Indigenous Land Defenders across Canada are under attack. All attempts to rightfully reclaim land back and protect the water have been met with resistance and police violence. Yet they persist. There are folks like guests Layla Staats and Skyler Williams, both of Six Nations of the Grand River, willing to do whatever it takes to ensure their communities can survive. Living through trauma, both current and generational, these courageous activists put everything on the line, defying incredible forces so that their children, and ours, may do something as simple as drink from a clean river. Hear their stories, get inspired and through it all explore what your role is in the fight to save the planet and bring about true Reconciliation.
