This video captures some highlights from the Indigenous Perspectives on Protected Areas gathering, held in October 2017 in Peterborough, ON. Hosted by Trent University’s Indigenous Environmental Studies and Sciences program, Plenty Canada, Walpole Island land Trust and Ontario Nature, the three-day event brought together interested members of Indigenous communities and representatives of non-Indigenous organizations to share information, insights and experiences, and to discuss approaches to establishing protected areas that honour Indigenous responsibilities, rights and interests.

The gathering, video and report were generously supported by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Ontario Biodiversity Council and Ontario Trillium Foundation.

Many thanks to Craig Buckley and Ingrid Vido for capturing and editing the video footage.
