Chief Myles Manygreyhorses

Chief Manygreyhorses has been actively involved in initiatives focused on environmental stewardship and sustainable development. Under his leadership, the Dease River First Nation has pursued significant projects, including the creation of an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area (IPCA) called Dene K'éh Kusăn, aiming to protect approximately 40,000 square kilometers of ancestral land.

This initiative balances conservation with economic development by incorporating sustainable activities like tourism and forestry while avoiding areas with existing resource extraction operations.

Furthermore, Chief Manygreyhorses has partnered with organizations like Carbonethic to enhance forest management practices and carbon sequestration in the Cassiar Forest District.

This collaboration uses advanced technologies to generate carbon credits and improve land stewardship, to help mitigate climate change and provide community economic benefits.

His efforts reflect a broader vision for the Kaska Dena people that emphasizes cultural preservation, sustainable economic opportunities, and environmental protection.
