Wa Ni Ska Tan is made-up of a diverse cross-section of community organizations, universities, and government.  

This research partnership brings together representatives from hydro-impacted Indigenous communities, NGOs (legal and social justice, environmental and food), multiple types of non-Indigenous and Indigenous governments, as well as universities in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Quebec, and the United States. 

We are always interested in building new partnerships and fostering relationships. Please contact us if you are interested in becoming involved in the research. [/wr_vc_section_text][wr_vc_section_image img_url=”4749″][wr_vc_section_text]
