Iskwewak Indigenous Saskatchewan Women’s Environmental Water Advocacy Keepers brought awareness to their cause, with indigenous knowledge keepers, leadership, youth, and researchers on the north Saskatchewan riverbank in Prince Albert on Monday.
They have also been a part of the Saskatchewan River Delta Restoration Project for over ten years, the Iskwewak Water Movement for around ten years, and the Iskwewak Indigenous Saskatchewan Women’s Environmental Water Advocacy Keepers for two years.
The N90 Trappers operate on the Saskatchewan Delta River fur block near Cumberland House, Saskatchewan.
The Saskatchewan River Delta, also known as the Cumberland Marshes, is roughly 1,000 square kilometres.
The Saskatchewan River Delta is also a huge carbon sink, estimated to hold about 160 million tonnes of carbon.
