I am from Fort Severn, I do not in anyway support this proposal, as an indigenous hunter, mining operations only impact the land so much, sometimes it’s impossible to recover, especially when our water supply is contaminated. Read more

I’m a bearskin lake member who does not stand with this as it jeopardize our lively hood, it’s how I eat and live, if the animals were poisoned or filled with toxics, how does that help me? You guys are always looking for more land? How much more do you need.

No I do not agree or wouldnt like this done to my community river which will also damage our land. This is our home! First nations. We were given these lands for us to have and LIVE FREELY not for people to come ruin it!! I dont stand with it! #fortsevernfirstnation

If the exploration is happening, what is next? Claims? If so, how are those first nations leadership easily signing the agreements? Severn river drains into the Hudson bay, it may be a large basin, however many people downstream still thrive through these watersheds. Read more

The downstream First Nation communities are SANDY LAKE, KEE-WAY-WIN, MUSKRAT DAM LAKE, BEARSKIN LAKE and FORT SEVERN. Have there been proper discussions with the First Nations regarding this project? Have they agreed to this test drilling when it can affect their water? Read more

Water is life. Have you been advocating for our drinking water in all First Nations communities who live under boil water advisories? What right do you have to do this? Just take and keep taking is all I’ve been seeing. Read more
