Colonial oppression severely damaged the relationship between tribal communities and their traditional lands. However, a new generation of First Nations activists is now working to restore these vital connections.

These activists are dedicated to safeguarding Indigenous identity for future generations. Their efforts include protecting traditional territories and sacred sites, while also renewing Indigenous land stewardship practices.

Key figures in this movement include Eriel Deranger (Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation), Valentin Lopez (Amah Mutsun Tribal Band), and Cara Romero (Mohave-based Chemehuevi Tribe).

On March 13, WECAN and the Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance petitioned the Army Corps of Engineers in Washington D.C. They demanded a robust environmental review of the proposed Line 5 crude oil pipeline reroute.

Enbridge's Line 5 operates illegally, threatening sacred ecosystems, clean water, treaty territories, and the global climate. Despite opposition, Enbridge plans a reroute and expansion. Activists insist Line 5 must be shut down and decommissioned, not merely rerouted.

The Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance, supported by WECAN, Sierra Club, and community allies, delivered the petition. WECAN has facilitated the Alliance, comprising Great Lakes Indigenous women leaders, since 2022.
