Lac Simon First Nation Fight for Caribou in Qubec (Video)

Today the forest plays a vital role in the lives of many Indigenous Peoples who rely on its wildlife for their culture and traditions. Yet the way of life for the Lac Simon Anishnabe community in Val-d’Or, northern Quebec, is being jeopardized because caribou here are disappearing from their landscape.
Not prepared to let the Val-d’Or caribou herd go extinct, this community took a stand and managed to secure $1.2 million over 5 years from the government of Canada for caribou conservation measures.
