SEITC
Добавлен 5 фев 2023
Southeast Alaska Indigenous Transboundary Commission (SEITC) is a consortium of 15 Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian Nations defending the transboundary rivers and ways of life from the rapidly expanding mining development occurring in the Canadian headwaters. SEITC represents the interests of its member tribal nations whose rights to culture, physical health and well-being, means of subsistence, and property are being violated by Canada’s acts and omissions.
Established in March 2014, SEITC derives its authority from its member tribal governments. Each member tribe has formally designated its representative by letter or resolution.
SEITC is currently leading a significant human rights initiative that aims to halt any further harm to the watersheds.

Hagwil Yin — Walk Softly
"The Gitxan and the Tsimshian people - we have stories about how the salmon saved us. They came to save us when we were starving. All we have to do is look after them. Look after the habitat and be careful about how we walk.
In our language, we say, hagwil yin. That means, walk softly. When you're walking on the land, you make sure that you walk softly. Don't destroy everything that's behind you."
- Kirby Muldoe, Hup Wil Lax A, presenting at Sharing our Knowledge Conference "Building Our Connections with Elders from the First Nations", held at Chief Shakes House in Sept, 22.
