Because industrialists want to rape mother nature for its resources.

Great article thank you for sharing, my response to a general cynicism here about "having gone to far" with honoring the rights of Indigenous peoples and the trying to rectify the wrongs done unto them that span generations in their impact even as they still have not been fully stopped... not by a long mile... my response is there is abundant evidence that empowering Indigenous people and entities to have meaningful control over landscapes is a NECESSARY part of fighting Climate Change. The numbers don't lie, just look at the evidence, we don't have time to start hemming and hawing about whether we have maybe theoretically elevated Indigenous peoples "too much" even if we have, worst comes to worst the consequence is that Canada and the world act faster and more lucidly to protect our wealth of people, natural resources and landscapes we were lucky enough to inherit and share.

Well yeah...

It's going to trickle up from America.

In Canada their called First Nations and people acknoythey were there first

In America we call them Hispanics and pretend they're invading. But obvious every American who hates Hispanics, it isn't because of trace amounts of Spanish heritage. It's the Native American heritage they don't like. Seeing them reminds them that white people weren't here first, and if anyone is an invader, it's them.

But trying to help any specific demographic over others never really works. The real solution is getting everyone, no matter who they are, to the point they have "enough".

Then you make up for prior transgressions. And suddenly a lot more people agree that it's the right thing to do and there's no pushback because everyone has enough.

Basic Maslow pyramid shit.
