The Turtle Lodge and Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre (MFNERC) present Wahbanang: The Resurgence of our People – Clearing the Path for Our Survival. It commemorates the 50th Anniversary of Wahbung: Our Tomorrows.

Wahbanang, meaning 'Going Back to the beginning,' builds on the 1971 Wahbung, which asserted First Nations' inherent rights. It originated from a 2018 Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) initiative at the Turtle Lodge. It is available for purchase here.

Climate change severely impacts regions like the Gulf of Mexico, threatening livelihoods. Young people, disproportionately affected, are leading the fight for environmental policy but are often excluded from critical solution discussions. Including diverse young environmentalists is crucial for effective action.

He empowers young leaders in climate communication and serves on Corpus Christi's Environmental Task Force.
