The 2019 Ki Ta Ski Naw Conference took place from November 8th to 10th, 2019 in downtown Winnipeg at the University of Winnipeg. It brought together participants from Manitoba, British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, the United States, Mexico, Latin America, and India to discuss the social, environmental, and economic impacts of hydro-development and explore solutions. ‘Ki Ta Ski Naw’ means ‘Our Land’ in Cree, and the theme for this conference was ‘Reflecting and Acting on Hydropower and Energy Justice’.
