GATINEAU, Quebec — Canada is launching a week-long Indigenous Nature Conservation Film Festival, featuring nine short films on nature conservation initiatives from across Canada, on National Indigenous Peoples Day. Indigenous leaders show us the lands, wildlife, and cultures they have protected for millennia and will continue to nurture for the future. Videos highlight the partnership between Indigenous Peoples and the Government of Canada to protect and conserve more lands and oceans across the country. The film festival kicks off with a Facebook live chat today at 4:00 p.m. (EDT) with the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Steven Guilbeault, interviewing Director Valérie Courtois and Deputy Director Dahti Tsetso of the Indigenous Leadership Initiative. …Associated links:
