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.
We spoke to Stephanie recently.
International Day For The Elimination of Discrimination 2026
The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, observed each year on 21 March, marks the anniversary of the Sharpeville Massacre, when police in Sharpeville, South Africa, opened fire on a peaceful demonstration against apartheid pass laws, killing 69 people and injuring many more. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1966, the day serves as a global call to confront racism, promote equality, and protect human dignity.
