Athabascan Chipewayans speak out on bitumen pipeline

Indigenous people living downstream from the tar sands explain why they are saying enough is enough.

Produced and directed by Eriel Deranger and Melina Laboucan-Massimo

Shell Canada is proposing two new tar sands mine projects in northern Alberta, Canada. From the perspective of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nations (ACFN), whose lands will be affected by both Shell mines, governments are not fulfilling the promises of Treaty 8. This has led them to file a challenge to the Jackpine Mine proposal under section 35 of the Canadian Constitution.
