Blood Tribe Hosts Environmental Summit
STAND-OFF – The third annual Kainai Ecosystem Protection Agency (KEPA) Summit is underway on the Blood Reserve.
This year’s theme is ‘Climate Change Resilience and Adaptation’, with a focus on exchanging knowledge and spreading new ideas to help protect the ecosystem in southern Alberta.
“What we’re doing is talking and making proposals with government and other funders to get something going towards holding more smaller meetings, and getting more input on what climate change adaptation and resiliency would look like for Kainai,” explained KEPA committee member Kansie Fox.
The event brings together academic researchers, scientists and scholars with the environmental science community with Blood Tribe Chief and Council, KEPA members and elders.
