Peltier speaks out at Global Forum

A Manitoulin Island Indigenous teen says there has to be more of a focus on climate change.

Fifteen-year-old water activist Autumn Peltier said she doesn’t feel the country’s federal politicians are doing enough when it comes on focusing on climate change.
Peltier, who hails from Wiikwemkoong First Nation on Manitoulin Island, made the comments while attending a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday.
Peltier, who has spent more than half of her life advocating for clean drinking water in Indigenous communities, now serves as the chief water commissioner for the Anishinabek Nation.
Peltier participated in the forum with fellow teen activists Greta Thunberg of Sweden, Natasha Mwansa from Zambia and Salvador Gomez-Colon of Puerto Rico.
