Interweaving Indigenous and Settler Knowledges for Environmental Protection in Resource Development and Indigenous Conciliation in Canada
Canada has prioritized “reconciliation” with Indigenous peoples just as debates over the ecological impacts of extractive industries are rising in volume and vigour in the public sphere.
