Guardians of the Land - The Story of the Seal River Watershed
Stephanie Thorassie is the Executive Director of the Seal River Watershed Alliance. Her work as an Indigenous leader and defender of the land has become the subject of a documentary film called “We Are Made from the Land: Protecting the Seal River Watershed.”
The film is a powerful documentary that tells an inspiring story of healing, community, and vision. It shows how Indigenous Peoples are working to protect the land and the caribou, while striving to create a more sustainable and equitable future for everyone.
