Manitoba First Nations are fighting for safe escape routes
Manage episode 513760414 series 2739843

Planes were grounded by wildfire smoke, and in one boat-access community, the lake was so low the ferry couldn’t run. Now, demands from Indigenous leaders are growing for better all-season roads, so the next time climate-fuelled disasters hit, they can get their people out.
