7 Wonders of Manitoba Episode 3: Pimachiowin Aki

[@RedRiverWilds]

Please keep this series going, there are so many wonders in our beautiful province.

[@nicoolpeg7821]

This series is absolutely stunning! It should be included in school curriculum 😇

[@audreyhrynkiw6417]

Great idea, our children learn so little about the land they live on. What could be more interesting than your own backyard!

[@teamgsale]

I show them in my grade 7 class :)

[@mmm-uw1ep]

Bravo to all the indigenous communities that worked so hard to maintain this eco system and for teaching us how to live in harmony with our environment. It surprises me that more people don't seem to realize how much we could learn from your culture as we all strive to live more sustainable lifestyles.

[@inderjitkainth5353]

I’m South Asian and I agree with you wholeheartedly. We should only let indigenous people touch our natural resources.

[@WoollyLuke]

I cannot express how grateful I feel for my Aanishinaabe host peoples for saving the land.

[@rickrobitaille8809]

Such respect to first nations and this precious land...

Pitcher plant 🤩 Remembering the school days, when learned about carnivorous plants.

Makes me proud to be from Manitoba.

[@ShearedJoy]

Very interesting. I had no idea of this

[@HanpingXu]

The quality of this series is second to none. Please keep going and let us know if any support is needed.

[@TheCaveofplato]

Beautiful wilderness.

[@kerrykrishna]

Bonnie Dickie, Wow. I could listen to you do Docs for days on end! How did you get this amazing gig?

[@AndreFavron]

At the 5:00 minute mark, what city is that on the horizon, or is that just treetops?

[@flatlandriver2471]

Treetops, pretty sure. Camera was on an elevated portion of the Canadian Shield. No cities within 150 miles.

[@francisedisonarroyomaury5279]

Hello, I am planning to go to Manitoba to study a master, I am forest engineer, I will uld like to work in reforestation, recovering degraded areas and conservation, also develop the industry and economy linked to the conservation it is crucial. How about the opportunities for forest professionals in Manitoba ?

[@babageesek]

The Manitoba series of videos are absolutely wonderful! If I could make one suggestion it would be to keep the music less intrusive. The narrator's voice is super, but she was almost drowned out by the repetitive, irritating tune.

[@jimf1964]

Very interesting series, but seriously, anyone who cries about how wilderness is vanishing or hard to find in Manitoba is a little lost. The province is several times bigger than most European countries, and has what, 2million people? Most of which live in The Peg. I think many people just don't get how big our country is. Especially since there are no roads, and no way to access much of it, so I guess it appears like it's vanishing. Except for large scale logging of course. So when they give you a paper bag, instead of the plastic you're trying to avoid, think about that forest.

[@adrianstoness3903]

beautifull indeed whats about eh masive eskers north of lynn lake u drive on the rdige of

[@flatlandriver2471]

This area is entirely located within the western arm of the Superior Craton that wraps around Hudsons Bay. It has been eroded relatively flat so it becomes a Shield. The Superior Craton extends east all the way through Northern Ontario and Quebec. Its southern edge coincides with the north shore of, you guessed it, Lake Superior. It has been called the Canadian Shield but it also extends southwest as far as Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It begins to dive under sedimentary soil as you travel south from “The Whiteshell” in Manitoba. The Superior Craton forms the core of the North American continent and contains some of the oldest rocks on planet earth. Its size and mass are why we have so little seismic activity. It will exist long after the human species is gone.

[@rockdesertsun8246]

Do you mean "Clear Lake?" I never heard of 'Clear Water Lake'...I'm 62 and lived here for 62 years!

[@OGYouTubeEnjoyer]

lmao like 99% of Manitoba is wilderness.

[@fe8199]

Yes exactly!! Guess the truth doesn't fit the narrative

[@chrisarmstrong3727]

Definitely should be integrated into the school system

[@verntoews6937]

Most fresh water lakes Largest carnivore on land Largest intact Forrest in N America Highest snake density Interlake Coldest city with population over 500,000

[@ajtaylor560]

Not sure I liked the beginning of the narrative telling the world that Manitobans are generally destroyers of nature and only the native tribes in the region are the sole protectors of the park. They forget the entire population of the province had to be on the side with this endeavour. The cost of becoming a world heritage site is not insignificant and was born by everyone in the province. We all take pride in protecting this vast area and are proud of it in the extreme.

[@janetpelletier1238]

I think it is more a general statement and not personal to Manitobans. Areas rich in resources will be exploited by corporations if not protected. It is in the interest of any community to protect its surroundings. Good on the surrounding four First Nations coming together to preserve the area otherwise a hydro route would have been developed so fast..

[@erissmith845]

If you participate in consumer culture (and we all do) you are contributing to the destruction of the environment. The fact that you consider preserving wilderness as a "significant cost" speaks precisely to the values of industrialized society and its consequences for all the other creatures who inhabit the planet. Preserving ecosystems is nothing to be proud of, it's literally the least we could do and it was the four First Nations who led this initiative and so they should get all the credit.

[@rockdesertsun8246]

Outsider Tree huggers for sure- that area is not going to vanish!

[@alanmctavish3628]

This has been ruined by a new road just completed up the east side.

[@fe8199]

Why are you always trying to sensationalized things. First of all the human development in Manitoba has not been devastating to the environment. And second of all have you been north of Winnipeg at all?? This is not the last "wilderness on earth". Practically all of Manitoba north of Winnipeg is untouched wilderness. Just please stick to the facts without sensationalizing the story

[@erissmith845]

As someone who lives up North, most of it is not a protected wilderness area and much of it has been trashed by mining and logging industries and general human interference and disrespect. There are still some beautiful spots and some areas that aren't touched by humans but the point of this piece was to speak of a protected UNESCO heritage site.

[@fe8199]

@@erissmith845 So when a beaver creates a beaver dam and interrupts and alters the course of creeks and rivers we call it "nature doing its things". But yet the liberal tree hugging left has spent the last century trying to convince us humans are nothing more than common animals. So by this logic the mining and logging industry is merely "nature doing its thing". But that being said I'm also from the "North". The mining and forestry happening in Manitoba is inconsequential to the idea that north of Winnipeg is wilderness area. If you don't believe me look at Google of Manitoba and find me a mine or forestry happening

[@OGYouTubeEnjoyer]

@@erissmith845 I used to live up in Thompson and it's beautiful up there all the forest everywhere. You can look at a satellite image of Manitoba at any time and prove yourself wrong.

[@Thunderbird431]

Ignorant

[@lynnmackenzie9501]

This is a portion of land that wont be developed because it is nothing but trees trying to grown out of granite rock; except for mining.. Very few major roads.. definitely zillions of black flies; the most incessant bug there is.. Oh yeah; why is it that it is so remote that local elk and maybe caribou are decreasing. Take a guess. The indigenous keepers of the earth..

Genesis 1:9 then God said “let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place and let the dry land appear”and it was so.10 And God called the dry land earth and the gathering of the waters he called seas and God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with seed in them on the earth and it was so 12th and the earth brought forth vegetation plants yielding seed after their kind and trees bearing fruit with seeds in them after their kind and God saw that it was good.

[@billfarley9167]

I suggest you keep the reading of biblical scripture in your church. A very dubious book BTW.

[@DanielSmith-ez9ox]

If the indigenous Canadian people are so proud of their heritage and accomplishment, why don't they go live in that protected forest without any device or subsidy created or given to them by European settlers. I'll bet, at the very least, that native Canadians wouldn't be suffering from so many cases of diabetes brought on by obesity.
