Rebuilding Resilient Indigenous Communities - Report and Video Public Release

10/31/2018

0 Comments

 
More than two years after the devastating 2016 Horse River Wildfire, the First Nations and Métis of the RMWB have released the results of a major research project about the wildfire's impact on their communities. WSSS is pleased to announce the October 30th release of the report, Rebuilding Resilient Indigenous Communities in the RMWB, and the accompanying video, Voices Around the Fire: An Indigenous Wildfire Story. 

This study was completed in partnership with the Athabasca Tribal Council, Athabasca River Métis, and the Nistawoyou Association Friendship Centre. The project—which included 10 focus groups, 40 interviews, and a survey with more than 600 responses—is the first Indigenous-controlled disaster study to bring together First Nations and Métis from an entire region. 

Links to the video, report, media coverage, and related research material are provided below. 

WSSS was proud to assist with this work, which aims to ensure that Indigenous impacts, concerns, and recommendations are heard. We hope, too, that it will help people to recover from the 2016 Horse River Wildfire and build a foundation for improved collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous governments in disaster management. 

If you have any questions or comments please us: Tim (tim@willowspringsss.com/587-890-6325) or Peter (peter@willowspringsss.com/780-381-9168) a message.

Best wishes, 

​Tim and Peter
