Description

The Rights of Nature (RoN) movement became official with the New Orleans Statement in 2017, giving ecosystems the right to be an entity with legal protection to flourish and regenerate. To prepare for engagement with individuals in the Salish Sea region and then pass a RoN ballot initiative, we researched Indigenous Tribes in Canada and the USA with closely aligned values to the initiative. Tribes most willing to engage with the initiative are large in size, close inproximity to the Salish Sea region, have collaborated with governments in the past, and have values parallel to the RoN movement.
