The Indigenous Environmental Justice Project, a 5-year SSHRC-funded initiative (2016-2021) based out of York University, aimed to develop a distinctive EJ framework informed by Indigenous knowledge systems, laws, concepts of justice and the lived experiences of Indigenous peoples. While the project has been completed, the work is ongoing and we continue to work towards exploring the concept of environmental justice from the perspective of Indigenous women and youth.
