Manitoba First Nations are fighting for safe escape routes

Severe drought and a record-breaking wildfire season have left some remote First Nations in Manitoba cut off from the rest of the province.

Now, demands from Indigenous leaders are growing for better all-season roads, so the next time climate-fuelled disasters hit, they can get their people out.
