About this listen

 Attorney Danika Littlechild, a member of the Ermenskin Cree Nation located in the territory of Treaty No. 6 in Alberta, Canada, shares about the complexities experienced by Indigenous Peoples who are caught between the Federal and territorial/provincial laws of the country regarding their rights to the accessibility, availability, management and purity of water on their historic, sacred lands. The Indigenous Peoples have a deeply spiritual relationship with water, which is seen as integral to their original creation story, and a primary molder of a person’s identity. Water is believed to have its own energy and soul, and was historically managed amongst the Indigenous Peoples by their customary laws. Ms. Littlechild shares a compelling point of view that advocates for removing the Indigenous Peoples and their water rights out of the current statutory, legal framework, and restore them to their own customary laws for resolution of all issues pertaining to water.
