The Caribou Guardians
High on a forested mountain in northern British Columbia, in the traditional
territory of the West Moberly Dunne-za First Nations (WMFN) and Saulteau First
Nations (SFN), Starr Gauthier is on patrol with a twelve-gauge shotgun slung
over her shoulder and a laptop bag in hand. Starr is a Caribou Guardian charged
with tending to the Klinse-za Caribou Maternity Pen built by these First
Nations, as part of their effort to protect an animal that is vital to their
cultures.
