As states and corporations race to secure supp ly chains for critical minerals and position themselves as leaders in batt ery and electric vehicle production\, new forms of extraction are prolifer ating\, often under the banner of “green” development.\n\nYet these proces ses frequently reproduce longstanding patterns of violence\, dispossession \, and environmental harm\, disproportionately impacting Indigenous and ra cialized communities. Centering voices and experiences from the front line s\, the discussion foregrounds community-led resistance\, resurgence\, and alternative ways of knowing and relating to land and water. Bringing Indi genous\, feminist\, and decolonial perspectives into conversation\, the ro undtable explores how movements are not only contesting extractivist futur es but also actively imagining and enacting more just and relational energ y systems.\n\nModerator:\n\nDr. Sarah Marie Wiebe is an Assistant Professo r in the School of Public of Administration\, co-founder of FERN (Feminist Environmental Research Network)\, and author of Everyday Exposure: Indige nous Mobilization and Environmental Justice in Canada’s Chemical Valley an d Life against States of Emergency: Revitalizing Treaty Relations from Att awapiskat.\n\nPanellists:\n\nJasmine Dionne is an Assistant Professor in J ustice Studies in the Department of Humanitarian Studies at Royal Roads Un iversity\, and a PhD Candidate at the University of Victoria.
