Environment focus of new MOU

The Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations has signed a memorandum of understanding with the David Suzuki Foundation. The Gifts of the Creator/the Environment will see First Nations continue to maintain and assert their inherent rights and laws that originate from the land, air, and water as gifts from the Creator. In moving forward with economic development in Saskatchewan, the potential impacts that such development has on the environment must be forefront, said the FSIN. “The David Suzuki Foundation and First Nations have a lot of common principles when it comes to respecting the environment and living in harmony with the natural balance of nature. We look forward to working together to address our common interests,” said FSIN Vice Chief Kimberly Jonathan in a news release.
