Why it matters

This case connects Indigenous rights with federal climate obligations — arguing Canada cannot approve fossil fuel expansion while failing to meet its own emissions targets.

Background

Two Wet'suwet'en House groups within the Likhts'amisyu Clan launched Misdzi Yikh v Canada. RAVEN Trust raises funds for Indigenous litigation; 85% of campaign funds go directly to the legal challenge.

As of 2026, litigation continues with motions and amended claims. Check RAVEN for current court filings.
