What does it mean to connect with your ancestral land? In the Northwest Territories of Canada, young people from the Lutsel K'e Dene First Nation journey across Tu Nedhe Lake (Great Slave Lake) with the Ni Hat'ni Dene guardians to learn about the home that their community relies on—a home that's being opened up as a new national park reserve within the Thaidene Nene Indigenous Protected Area. Now, looking after this land means that the Ni Hat'ni Dene guardians are preserving it not only for future generations here but also for the world. Christine Lin is a documentary filmmaker who focuses on ocean conservation, birds, and Indigenous storytelling. A 2021 National Geographic Explorer and 2020 Jackson Wild Media Lab Fellow, she is based in San Diego and finds joy in observing local tide pool creatures and taking her budding adventure cat on walks.

However, in recent years, the population of this endangered, prehistoric-looking bird has been declining – chicks rely on healthy habitats to be able to take flight from their nests. From flying in the sky to walking through fire, people who love this special place are fighting to bring the Wood Storks back.
