Wuikinuxv Chief Councillor Abúk Danielle Shaw speaks about the work to secure sustainable financing for marine protection and management.
Guardians are often first responders in marine accidents and spills, filling in the gaps left by other government agencies that are too remote to respond quickly enough.
Elected to lead the first all-woman council for the Wuikinuxv Nation, Chief Danielle Shaw says she always knew she would bring her skills to the work of supporting her Nation toward self-governance and growth.
Concerned about the future of Chinook salmon, the Wuikinuxv Nation and partners built the Percy Walkus Hatchery in River’s Inlet to preserve the species for generations to come.
