This session will give an overview as to how the Territorial Planning Unit (TPU) of Grand Council Treaty #3 (T3) upholds Anishinaabe Inakonigaawin (law) throughout all environmental decisions. The presenters will look at both Manito Aki Inakonigaawin (Great Earth Law) and the Nibi (water) Declaration and how they are the foundation to a Treaty #3 Environmental Assessment. Through Anishinaabe Inakonigaawin, the TPU has developed a comprehensive Lands Managers toolkit that explores how Anishinaabe in Treaty #3 communities can work with Environmental Assessments, while ensuring all generations are included in environmental decision making.
