#Frack Off: Indigenous Women Lead Effort Against Fracking

During Climate Action Week, Shelley A. Young (Mi’kmaq), Kandi Mosset (Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara), Elle-Maija Tailfeathers (Blood and Saami), and Ellen Gabriel (Mohawk) were among the Indigenous women headlining #FRACK OFF: Indigenous Women Leading Media Campaigns to Defend our Climate. Across First Nations in Canada and the United States, Indigenous women gathered to resist fracking and fight inaction and corruption across governments and tribal councils to prevent its severe environmental and health impacts, especially the impact on women’s wellbeing.
