 Hi, my name is Clifford Mosquash. I'm a member of Pagashin or Pace Plot Firstation on the North Shore of Lake Superior. I currently live and work in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and I was born and raised in Sula Cut, Ontario on the traditional territory of Black Sula Firstation. I'm currently a Masters in Public Health student at Lakehead University, and I'm completing a specialization in Indigenous and Northern health. My research and my practice interests are on ways to decolonize Indigenous health research in ways in which we can work to provide a more equitable level of access to the pursuit of health for Indigenous people on Turtle Island. Climate change has affected the livelihoods of people in Northwestern Ontario with increased flooding and wildfires throughout the year, sometimes requiring either the partial or full relocation of people or the community. Indigenous people were environmental stewards of Turtle Island since time immemorial and cared for the environment in a way that was enough to support our livelihoods while still protecting it for use by future generations. For the Anishinaabe, we understand ourselves to be extensions of the land and the land to be a part of us. I think when we see ourselves in the environment and see the environment in ourselves, decisions taken by governments across all jurisdictions and industries will produce policy and action that not only prioritize environmental protection and mitigate the effects of climate change, but these decisions and these actions will also improve the health of all people on Turtle Island.
