There are few great forests left in the world. And even fewer where indigenous
people have been taking care of the land for thousands of years. But such
a rare place exists in the heart of Canada's boreal forest. In Ojibwe
we call it Pimachiowin Aki (Pim–MATCH–cho–win Ahh–KEY)
or "the land that gives life." Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) Elders teach
us that the land provides fresh water, healthy food and clean air for
many people near and far.
