This event will see the launch of report and video co-published by the Passamaquoddy Recognition Group Inc. (PRGI) and the CEDAR project at St. Thomas University.
Indigenous communities continue to speak up about nuclear energy and radioactive waste. The report and video were produced to amplify their voices.
The report and the video were co-published by the Passamaquoddy Recognition Group and the CEDAR project (Contesting Energy Discourses through Action Research) at St. Thomas University in Fredericton. The CEDAR project is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Canada (SSHRC).
