Darius Elias remembers childhood summers spent out on the land in Old Crow Flats, northern Yukon wetlands, where members of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation spent months harvesting food each year. But few travel to Old Crow Flats these days, as climate change has transformed the land.
Today, dramatic permafrost thaw and drained lakes make it difficult and potentially dangerous for Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation members to access the wild foods they use to ensure their food security and maintain their culture. In 2019, the First Nation declared a climate emergency and called on Canada to take urgent action to address these impacts.
