Land Back: Governance for a Just World

On April 21, 2021, we co-hosted a webinar with David Suzuki Foundation, Ontario Nature and Decolonizing Water with a film screening followed by dialogue and a Q & A. We explored how to support just and ecologically healthy futures when relationships are redefined and Indigenous sovereignty, rights and responsibilities are respected.

In the last few years, the Land Back movement has gained momentum across Turtle Island and Canada. Many struggles for Indigenous reclamation of lands and waters and assertions of Indigenous jurisdiction are being declared under the banner of Land Back.

Marilyn Baptiste, CRP Leadership Circle, moderated the panel with Aimée Craft, Associate Professor, University of Ottawa | Decolonizing Water; Rachel Plotkin, Boreal Project Manager, David Suzuki Foundation; and Julee Boan, Boreal Program Manager, Ontario Nature.
