Collaborative CHALLENGES

Jennifer Bose and Aisha Mir collaborated to complete the following tasks. However, our reflections represent our unique thoughts and perspectives on these tasks.

Challenge 01

Environmental Racism and the First Nations Water Crisis

Environmental Racism and the First Nations Water Crisis’ persistent issue has its roots in colonialism, which has shaped the structural and institutional racism embedded in environmental policies and practices today. One striking example of this ongoing inequality is the denial of access to safe drinking water for many Indigenous communities in Canada. Despite longstanding legal obligations and public promises, numerous First Nations communities continue to experience long-term drinking water advisories, reflecting a systemic failure to address the issue (Gabel et al., 2022).
