Jordyn Burnouf says stewardship of land is a key piece of reconciliation and fighting climate change. “Conservation is a foundational tenet of Indigenous worldview,” she told CBC. “In Indigenous knowledge systems, you don’t take more than you need …that treaty was our promise to be stewards of the land.” She believes approaching the treaty with mutual recognition, mutual respect, and shared responsibility will play a key role in both reconciliation and the fight against climate change. Jordyn Burnouf is a member of the Black Lake First Nation, and she grew up in the Métis community of Île-à-la-Crosse.
