KI Band Canoe Journey to Protect Watershed

Background

A team of paddlers from the KI Indigenous Nation [Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug, KI, also known as Big Trout Lake First Nation] began their canoe journey along the ancient trading rive route from their remote fly-in community to Hudson’s Bay on August 24, 2012. The trip continues until September 8.

The KI Nation is calling on Ontario to respect their deep connection to the wild Fawn River watershed – a foundation of their culture, and the threatened heart of the world’s largest intact forest.
