Indigenous trappers in BC have been stewards of the land for generations – for them, being a "trapline holder" means upholding responsibilities grounded in Indigenous law, and maintaining the health of the environment and wildlife in the face of rampant industrial development. Unfortunately, the Canadian legal system is failing them.
Our new report, co-produced with Dunne-zah/Cree trapper Bud Napoleon and other Indigenous trapline holders, shows why their rights... and responsibilities matter for everyone. Learn more
