[Resist!ca]

The Arctic Indigenous Youth Alliance (AIYA) received a standing ovation from Chiefs and delegates at the Dene National Assembly in Deline (August 18, 2005). AIYA presented a resolution to the 35^th Dene National Assembly to support the youth in their opposition to the proposed Mackenzie Gas Project. The Arctic Indigenous Youth Alliance has consulted with Indigenous youth and Elders across the Northwest Territories for the past two years. Based on these consultations, AIYA believes that in order to achieve a sustainable, balanced and healthy environment for future generations the proposed Mackenzie Gas Project must not proceed.
