Protect Polar Bears

Help Protect The Hudson Bay Lowlands

The Hudson Bay Lowlands is one of the largest intact wetland and peatland ecosystems on Earth, vital for sustaining wildlife, stabilizing the climate, and supporting Indigenous ways of life. Five Northern Cree Nations—York Factory First Nation, Tataskweyak Cree Nation, Fox Lake Cree Nation, Shamattawa First Nation, and War Lake First Nation—have reunited to protect their ancestral lands through the Kitaskeenan Kaweekanawaynitamuk initiative, meaning "Our Land We Want to Take Care Of."

This Indigenous-led effort will help safeguard polar bears, caribou, critical carbon stores, and the deep cultural connections that have flourished here for generations.

Join us in protecting these sacred lands for people and for the wildlife that call them home.

Dear Premier:

I am writing to urge you to support the Kitaskeenan Kaweekanawaynitamuk Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area project.

Led by York Factory First Nation, Tataskweyak Cree Nation, Fox Lake Cree Nation, Shamattawa First Nation, and War Lake First Nation this Indigenous-led effort will protect critical habitat for polar bears, caribou, and migratory birds, safeguard globally significant carbon stores and uphold the cultural and spiritual connections that have sustained these lands for generations.

Protecting this extraordinary landscape is essential for meeting Manitoba’s conservation goals, advancing Indigenous stewardship, and ensuring a healthy future for people and wildlife.

Please register my opinion and keep me informed of progress on these efforts.

Kind regards,
