Social Justice and Animal Welfare in Canadian Indigenous Communities

Leah is a Mother, and educator from Muskeg Lake Cree Nation with
roots in Cote First Nation in Saskatchewan. She co-founded Save Rez
Dogs, an Indigenous based grassroots initiative and call to action
for communities to gather resources and develop their own dog
management plans. When she’s not teaching, she does consulting and
presentations for various audiences on the crisis of Indigenous
Animal Welfare and Building Community Readiness. Save Rez Dogs is a
volunteer, social profit that’s 100% crowd-funded. In this episode
we discuss the social justice issues in indigenous communities, the
impact on humans and animals and what Canadians can do to take
action to support change. Please consider donating to, volunteering
