On October 22nd, 2020, the CRP and the IISAAK OLAM Foundation (IOF) co-hosted the second webinar in the IPCA Governance Stream, “Land Relations Planning and Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs)”. This conversation featured Elder Joe Copper Jack (Senior Planning Coordinator, Yukon Land Use Planning Council), Marilyn Baptiste (Former Chief, Xeni Gwet'in First Nation, and CRP Leadership Circle), Steven Nitah (Senior Advisor, Indigenous Leadership Initiative, and CRP Leadership Circle), and Russell Myers Ross (Former Chief of Yunesit’in Government, and Dasiqox Tribal Park Initiative). Together, they explored relational approaches to land relationship planning using models and practices from Yukon Territory and Dasiqox Tribal Park (BC). They also discussed how this planning can inform pathways to IPCA establishment, including choosing how to govern.
