This webinar was be led by Gwen Bridge, a member of the Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, CA, and environmental scientist with 20 years of experience in improving Indigenous organizations and supporting partnerships with non-indigenous government and partner organizations. All groups were welcome to attend no matter how much or little background you have on this topic.
