A ‘crisis communication gap’ threatens #IndigenousPeoples

Dionne Phillips
Updated Tue, July 14, 2026

Excerpt: "Sara Wilson, a graduate communications researcher from Simon Fraser University in Canada, calls this a 'crisis communication gap' — something she highlighted in a submission to EMRIP's conflict study. Wilson previously worked in communications for the province of British Columbia's forest, land, and natural resources department, and also serves as a senior communications associate with Canada's National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. Her research spotlights underfunding, language erasure from public systems, and exclusion from decision-making during crisis situations. Wilson cites devastating #wildfires and #floods as examples of dangerous communication failures.

"In a report analyzing its response to 2023 wildfires, the government of the #NorthwestTerritories listed numerous concerns about how authorities communicated during the fire with #Indigenous individuals whose first language is not English. Its Official Languages Act recognizes 11 languages, but the government's alerts are issued only in English and French.

"On its website, the government highlights its working relationship with Indigenous governments, organizations, and communities to 'co-develop and establish bilateral emergency and communications protocols, as requested, before the 2026 wildfire season.' Government officials did not respond to emails asking what stage of the process they are in. Its website notes that in the interim they have 'developed an Emergency Response Event Communication Protocol with Indigenous Governments to ensure clear communication between Indigenous Governments and the GNWT during emergency events.'

"A paper published earlier this year by #ClimateCardinals, a youth-led climate organization, revealed that the overwhelming majority of the world's scientific publications are written in English. It argues that without more inclusive language, 'up to 6.5 billion people risk exclusion from climate policy, disaster preparedness, and access to critical information.'

"In #Aotearoa #NewZealand, #Māori communities have been hit by increasingly devastating storms, like #CycloneGabrielle, which hit the country in February 2023, causing 11 deaths and billions of dollars in damage.

"The cyclone exposed some key barriers to effective communication, according to a study released by Te Whāriki Manawāhine O Hauraki, a community resource center. It also praised the Māori-led mobilization to assist those impacted by the storm, which included setting up community centers. 'A truly effective response requires more than collaboration, it demands a #Tiriti-based framework [based on the Treaty of Waitangi] where Māori exercise decision-making authority over disaster preparedness and response in their own communities,' it reads.

"Throughout Monday's session in Geneva, Indigenous delegates highlighted the potential of Indigenous knowledge and argued that better resources and communication would benefit the entire world."

Flash Flood Emergency Is Issued in Texas After Days of Pounding Rain

Netanyahu, Putin and Trump believe they they can divide up the Earth. At least before they and their tech lords turn on each other, or it into toxic wastelands, but to the victor goes the spoils. Perhaps the most stupid idea conjured up by the history of such wizards, as they are flesh and bones?
