Located in the pristine boreal forest of Northern Saskatchewan, the Sakitawak IPCA is mandated to protect 22,000 kilometers of untouched forest.

In June 2021, we conducted 22 interviews in the community of Ile-À-La-Crosse, Saskatchewan and filmed the area of the N-14 fur block.

River Voices Productions helped us produce this short film to share the voices of our community.

Thanks to the support from Environment and Climate Change
