Water is Everything: nipî tapîtam – An Indigenous Understanding of the Outstanding Universal Value of Wood Buffalo National Park (2016)

This report was designed to introduce a 2016 UNESCO Mission to the Mikesew Cree First Nation and their inter-relationship with the Peace-Athabasca Delta.  Mikisew people rely on the delta and the health of the delta relies on the Mikisew.

This submission summarizes Mikisew knowledge of the delta, changes over time, and why Mikisew people feel the delta and its water is in danger.  The report concludes with recommendations regarding what UNESCO and Canada can do to help safeguard the delta and its values for the benefit of future generations.
