# data[].attributes.body
The issue usually isn’t the people, it lies in the structure of the program. If someone is starting to become demotivated and starting to drag the team down, evaluate the program. Connect with your teammates - ask them what they are struggling with and address the program issues together.

Environmental lobby groups and residents groups granting personhood, however, is "more of a lobbying effort; you can't really afford the same authority to it," he says. At the same time, "if you get Aboriginal groups, in any country, who are declaring the personhood of a river" or other natural resource, "then that has a more detailed and alternative history, in Aboriginal laws and traditions, ... and that brings a different authority to it."

It's difficult to see where this declaration for the Magpie river falls in that spectrum, he says; "clearly, it has a wide array of authoritative support and has legitimacy from that [Indigenous] point of view."

The Innus of Ekuanitshit are a First Nation band in Quebec living mostly in the Indian reserve of Mingan on the north coast of the St. Lawrence River. A representative of the community has described the river as forming an important part of the Innu of Ekuanitshit's traditional territory.

This First Nation, which has "worked collectively with environmental organizations and local government for the Magpie River personhood recognition, continues to have their practices and Indigenous legal orders and responsibilities to the river," says Aimée Craft, an associate professor in the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law - Common Law Section. "But they also have been part of this movement towards recognition of personhood in western law, or state law," which forms a part of Craft's research.

The alliance to protect the Magpie river, in accordance with Innu customs and practices, granted the river the following rights: 1) the right to flow; 2) the right to respect for its cycles; 3) the right for its natural evolution to be protected and preserved; 4) the right to maintain its natural biodiversity; 5) the right to fulfil its essential functions within its ecosystem; 6) the right to maintain its integrity; 7) the right to be safe from pollution; 8) the right to regenerate and be restored; and finally, 9) the right to sue.

Challenging the way we speak about nature

Challenging the way we speak about nature

# data[].attributes.body
Language is powerful. If we change the way speak about Nature, we can change the way we look at Nature, and the way we value it. We need to break out of the anthropocentric lens in which we view Nature to remind ourselves that we are not separate from Nature, rather a part of it. We need to start looking at the intrinsic rights of Nature, separate from its value to humankind.

Youth should always be involved in conversations about things that will affect us. No youth engagement should be planned without youth involvement.

(This same principle should also apply to Indigenous/BIPOC communities!)
