The Issue with Tissue – a boreal love story documents the little known, largely untold story of the boreal forest and the Indigenous First Nations who call it home – how protecting and conserving the boreal is an existential imperative and that unfettered extractive industrial exploitation of the few remaining wild spaces, like the boreal, must be curtailed if life as we know it on Planet Earth is to sustain. Told by the First Nations Elders and Leaders of the boreal, leading scientists and activists, The Issue with Tissue creates a kind of talking circle that inspires our storytellers to speak with intimacy and candor about the issues confronting us all, sharing their enlightened, unified vision that the way forward lies in supporting and elevating Indigenous knowledge/stewardship in combination with the ages old wisdom that can be found in the life of these forests and trees.
