Indigenous women form a resistance movement that predates Canada, said Simpson, who teaches Indigenous studies at the Centre for World Indigenous Knowledge and Research at Athabasca University. Simpson, a member of the Alderville First Nation in Canada, is a fierce advocate of Indigenous peoples' rights, having written and lectured extensively on issues of Indigenous governance, land rights, and cultural resurgence.

She said that this strength needs to be acknowledged because, currently, &quot;it is absolutely unrecognized and unseen.&quot; Simpson said that this was partly because the work that Indigenous women do to maintain resistance is often unglamorous. &quot;We are getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning, and we're feeding our children, we're breastfeeding all through the night, we're doing things that women have to do to make the lives of our children and our families progress.&quot;

[Eriel Deranger] is the communications officer for her community, the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, whose homelands encompass the remote boreal forests and muskeg of northern Alberta, where the Athabasca River winds its way through Chipewyan territory. The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation is currently fighting Shell's plans to develop another tarsands mine close to the existing Jackpine mine on the east side of the Athabasca river. According to the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, the expansion would spoil thousands of acres of land and ruin 13 miles of the river. Deranger explained that this will affect her nation's ability to hunt, fish, and trap - a breach of their treaty rights. Deranger is leading a campaign to gain broader support for her nation's fierce opposition to the tarsands expansion.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athabasca River, western Panama, Nicaragua, Minnesota, </style></custom2><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CEMA</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
