- In Canada, a remote Indigenous community is fighting for its survival in the age of climate change. Extreme weather, changes in ice formation, and wildfires have made hunting and gathering for traditional food more and more dangerous and difficult. Along the Winisk River is a portrait of a community as it comes together to embark on a caribou hunt in the freezing subarctic winter of Canada. The film explores the impacts of this struggle against a backdrop of systemic discrimination and calls for the government of Canada to do better to protect Indigenous communities.

(Ottawa, October 21, 2020) - Climate change is taking a growing toll on First Nations in Canada, depleting food sources and affecting health, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The Canadian government is not adequately supporting First Nations’ efforts to adapt to the mounting crisis and is failing to do its part to reduce the global greenhouse gas emissions that are driving it.
The 122-page report, “‘My Fear is Losing Everything’: The Climate Crisis and First Nations’ Right to Food in Canada,” documents how climate change is reducing First Nations’ traditional food sources, driving up the cost of imported alternatives, and contributing to a growing problem of food insecurity and related negative health impacts. Canada is warming at more than twice the global rate, and northern Canada at about three times the global rate. Despite its relatively small population, Canada is still a top 10 greenhouse gas emitter, with per capita emissions 3 to 4 times the global average.

I agree, all Canadians deserve the help of their government.
what type of help...
Hi.. is there jobs there.. what do people do for work.. what will kids do for their future.. thx
Tribal ppl are losing our lands and hunting grounds faster than we can show our future how to hunt. We soon find us depending on what else is else there. I've seen 1st hand on seeing our tribes become dependent on handouts from the government and most of our newer generations don't know what it was like to go hunting. Our hunting grounds have gone quite because of over hunting and poaching on our hunting grounds that bring no foods left to show our kids how to hunt. Our traditions are dying slowly due to change socially , economically but most of all our mother earth is dying. We soon will have nothing left for my kids, my future grandkids. But My ppl have alot to hold on too and show our children on how much culture we have still and how much we can't lose no matter how bad things get , our ancestors fought hard to pass on our reservation lands and traditions of my tribe in new mexico Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo. My ppl are ancient and we will be here to teach our kids of what things our environment can't take from us which is our big outcomes for our prayer dances with all ages from 5 to 70 elderly still dancing strong with a dancing line of 70plus tribal members all dancing and holding on to something that has never left us for all tribes around The USA and 1st nations of Canada , down to Peru and Chile. We may sound like where losing alot environmentally , but we hold to our prayers and dances that we teach our kids very early in life. We may lose our hunting grounds or tribal lands to mining but we'll never lose the stories , language and Tribal dances that will live on for centuries to come . I'm pieyo pin (stormy mountain) I hold on to my future for all 1st people's around the world
Snowmobiles and modern weaponry surely made hunting a whole lot easier.. are they subsidized by the Canadian goverment.. is there jobs there. interesting video.
The hunts are not subsidized. Not too long ago people hunted with snowshoes... depends who you talk to... sometimes the snowshoes are better.
