The worst wildfire season in Canadian history is impacting Indigenous Communities across the country, displacing residents, destroying homes and forests, and threatening cultural activities. Thousands of fires have burned over 110,000 square kilometers so far, with nearly 900 fires still burning. Indigenous communities are experiencing fires over a widespread area, leading to fears about the future impact of hotter and drier conditions. Indigenous communities are often left out of forest management decisions and lack resources for emergency response. The effects of the fires will be felt for generations, as the intense heat damages the soil and hinders plant regeneration.
