“Everything that we see around us is actually changing. Even the stars are in different locations these days. Even the moon is not in the same place it used to be.” -KI Elder Sarah Jane McKay in The Breathing Lands
Submitted photo by Allan Lisner
Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug has released a new You Tube video on climate change, called The Breathing Lands, documenting the changes in the environment that Elders are witnessing in the hopes of promoting global action on climate change. The community also wants to share information with other people around the world dealing with the effects of climate change on traditional ways of life. See story on page 16.
