Our Nations have been stewarding these lands and waters for thousands of years. Despite great challenges, we’re continuing to do so, working towards a future of abundance for our coast and our communities. #MarineProtectedArea #MPAs

The #RELAW Program hosted its most recent retreat on Nuučaan̓uuɫɁatḥ territories, where implementation and enforcement of Indigenous laws was the key co-learning focus. Learn more from articled student Navjot’s reflection in our most recent blog https://t.co/a7oKMsRYCz

The opportunity for recognizing and supporting #IPCAs and Indigenous Guardians is greater now than ever. Proud to have helped craft this paper with @ILInationhood & FNEMC, and join the call for BC to move forward in a good way through these key actions 👇 https://t.co/RjTJRiLYIG

#IndigenousProtectedAreas offer places of refuge and healing, providing space for #IndigenousLaws that centre on relationships with each other + the natural world.

Grateful to Tla-o-qui-aht Nation & @iisaakolam for hosting Indigenous Protected & Conserved Areas #IPCAretreat2019 retreat last week. Our staff lawyer Georgia Lloyd-Smith spoke about how Indigenous laws are the foundation of Indigenous-led conservation @IndgLed_Conserv @Enns_Eli

[West Coast Environmental Law @WCELaw]

What a day! Our hearts are full of gratitude for the courageous Indigenous nations leading this legal battle, as well as our environmental allies + countless community members who have stood up to protect lands and waters from the #TransMountain pipeline + tanker project. #StopKM

[West Coast Environmental Law @WCELaw]

BREAKING: Federal Court of Appeal overturns #TransMountain approval, construction must stop. Marine shipping illegally excluded from the review and Indigenous consultation "well short of the mark". Join us for further comment/what's next 9:30am, Crab Park in #yvr #cdnpoli #StopKM

3 yrs ago my Dunne-zah friend Bud Napoleon took me on his family trapline in Treaty 8 territory for 1st time to show me the harm occurring & treaty promises being broken. We wrote this @WCELaw report to show why Indigenous trapline rights & responsibilities matter to everyone.

@duncanmccue Lindsay Borrows - new book Otters Journey is stunning

@kekinusuqs Congrats - a well deserved win after all these years. Do you have a link to the decision?
