Indigenous Caucus of the Western Mining Action Network

Mining takes place in rural places which is isolating. The Indigenous Caucus was founded to provide space for Indigenous participants of WMAN to build collective power to address mining and support communities that are protecting water/land/air/wildlife/communities and Indigenous rights.

This project funding will be used to support the development of EJ/Mining Youth and Elder Leadership Mentorship Program. This program will be initiated in 2022-23 and will become core programming of the IC Caucus. This program is supported via the IC Strategic Plan and a Resource Media-non-profit with experiencing developing mentorship programs will assist us.
