Sacred Headwaters Initiative

The Sacred Headwaters Initiative is a movement to protect a vital and culturally significant region in northern British Columbia, Canada, where the headwaters of the Skeena, Nass, and Stikine rivers originate. These waters are critical for local ecosystems, Indigenous communities, and wildlife. The initiative aims to prevent industrial development, such as mining and logging, that could harm these waters and erode Indigenous rights and traditions. By advocating for conservation and sustainable land use, the initiative seeks to preserve the area's ecological integrity, cultural heritage, and spiritual significance for future generations.
