Gathering on Land Protection and Indigenous Rights: Mooso Siibi
In early March, LAND, together with the Indigenous youth-led movements, Okiniwak and Here We Stand, and grassroot organizers with the Friends of the Attawapiskat River, hosted a community gathering in the Mooso Siibi area, Moose Cree First Nation in Treaty 9.
