BONUS | Seed orchards and land guardians: The Indigenous-led efforts to protect wild spaces

As negotiators hammer out a deal at the UN biodiversity summit in Montreal, we bring you a special podcast about Indigenous communities working to protect wild spaces and the natural world. We visit Maajiigin Gumig, a greenhouse and seed orchard on Aamjiwnaang First Nation. The plants they grow held significance for Indigenous peoples before colonization, and offer a connection to that traditional knowledge. Plus, Matt Galloway discusses guardianship of the land with Valérie Courtois, director of the Indigenous Leadership Initiative; and Dolcy Meness, a land guardian from Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation, near Maniwaki, Que.
