Grounded in rel ational worldviews that center the responsibilities between land\, water\, and people\, Indigenous leadership reframes conservation from a technical process into a holistic\, culturally grounded practice. This approach not only strengthens ecological resilience but also supports national and int ernational climate and biodiversity commitments—offering a powerful pathwa y toward a more balanced and hopeful environmental future.\n\nAbout the Sp eaker\n\nDahti Tsetso is a leading voice in Indigenous-led conservation ac ross the Northwest Territories and Canada. In her previous role as Deputy Director of the Indigenous Leadership Initiative (ILI)\, she coordinated t he collaborative negotiations that led to the NWT: Our Land for the Future Agreement (2024)\, uniting 22 Indigenous governments\, the Government of the Northwest Territories\, the Government of Canada\, and private partner s to establish one of the world’s largest Indigenous-led land conservation trusts.\n\nHer leadership also contributed to the Edéhzhíe Establishment Agreement (2018)\, creating a 14\,218 km² protected area recognized under both Canadian and Dehcho Dene law\, as well as the development of the regi onal Dehcho K’éhodi stewardship and guardian program.\n\nWe hope you will join us for this important and inspiring discussion.\n DTSTART:20260326T220000Z DTEND:20260326T230000Z LOCATION:Room 26\, Leacock Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2T7\, 855 ru e Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Annual Environment Public Lecture: Dahti Tsetso URL:/environment/channels/event/annual-environment-pub lic-lecture-dahti-tsetso-371824 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
