Esther Reese shares her ancestry and the deep connection between the Stikine River and the wildlife it sustains. As gold and copper mining threaten this sacred river, the Canadian government disregards the voices of the Indigenous People and their rights to protect these lands. The Stikine is more than a river—it carries the spirit, culture, and survival of Indigenous communities. Stand with Esther and the Tlingit People to defend the Stikine. Join rewild and sign the open letter in our bio to support seitc_org and safeguard the future of this irreplaceable river. Esther Reese is a Tlingit community member and president of the Southeast Alaska Indigenous Transboundary Commission. #Alaska #AlaskaNative #IndigenousVoices #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #ProtectIndigenousRights #ProtectIndigenousRights #SaveOurRivers
