Meet the Indigenous guardians on the frontlines of northern conservation

Across the North, Indigenous hunters, trappers and community members are asserting their rights and reclaiming stewardship over their lands and waterways.

Yellowknife photographer Pat Kane has spent three years visiting communities around the Northwest Territories, hanging out with Indigenous guardians as they patrol and use their land. He has been witness to the everyday life of the people closest to the land as new developments are proposed and new protected areas are drawn up.
