Woohoo welcome to Episode 6 of Pedaling Forward! In this episode, Bristol and Rachel interview Alexis Lathem who writes about her experience advocating for the Innu community in Labrador/Newfoundland, Canada, where the governments paired with HydroQuebec, a hydropower company, to build a new dam (Muskrat Dam) that flooded the Innu's land without their consent or knowledge. We discuss her experience with the Innu community, "renewable" energies, and even regenerative agriculture! This is an episode you don't want to miss. If y'all have any questions, comments, or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks for listening :)
