Project: Climate Displacement, Indigenous Priorities & Federal Policy: Post-Lytton Community Engagement in the Fraser Canyon & Canada’s UNDRIP Action Plan
This interdisciplinary community engagement project that investigates disaster displacement recovery and policies for indigenous communities adversely affected by climate change involves scholars from the sciences and humanities. The Kanaka Bar Indian Band will be conducting community engagement with Indigenous emergency workers and residents displaced by the 2021 Lytton fire, with the aim of understanding Indigenous priorities around federal climate displacement policies and informing the government’s UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) Action Plan.
“As a community engagement project, the core of our research is around respectful listening.”
