Abstract: <\/b>Colonization of Water\u00ad<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Colonization of water is an urgent race around the world today. Recently the human right to clean water and sanitation was recognized by the United Nations \u2013 at a time when that organization predicts half the people in the world will find access to clean water their primary challenge, within 20 years. What does this mean for BC? For Indigenous Peoples\u2019 rights? Challenges include hydroelectric dams, fracking, diversion projects, waste water, aquaculture, urban sprawl, industry\u2019s use of fresh water and the need to restore living water systems. The presentation with a slideshow leads to lively discussions of\u00a0this vital topic!<\/p>\n
