Located in the pristine boreal forest in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada, the Sakitawak Conservation Area Project is one of 37 Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs) in Canada and one of only four Métis projects.

Sakitawak is Cree for where the rivers meet and is the enduring name of Île-à-la-Crosse, Saskatchewan. Like most communities, what we want is a say in the legislation that governs our practices. Taking control of our destiny means we will be responsible for the outcomes, both the benefits and challenges.L
