First Nations activist Delee Nikal has travelled with companions to Glasgow to participate in the activities of COP26. In this special event, they will share their reflections on why global climate action must account for the ongoing role of colonialism, and the devastating impact this has for Indigenous women across Canada. Nikal and her companions have long campaigned to raise awareness of the links between resource extraction and violence against Indigenous women and girls, leading an action at COP26 for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). As a land defender, Nikal has been at the forefront of protests against the Coastal GasLink Pipeline in British Columbia.
