Many Indigenous communities face an ongoing issue in Canada: access to adequate, sustainable, and acceptable safe drinking water. The problem extends to the hamlet of Grande Cache and the surrounding Indigenous communities that comprise the five Co-operatives and two Enterprises. Although there is previous literature regarding water availability concerns and infrastructural limitations in Indigenous communities, there is a need to explore community-specific barriers and opportunities for resilience building in rural and remote settings. The research delves into the experiences, perceptions, and actions of the Indigenous communities surrounding Grande Cache, ultimately aiming to provide insights into how these communities have navigated water-related challenges, their outlook for potential resource extraction impacts, and their broader resilience-building efforts. This research contributes to a deeper comprehension of the community-specific factors that influence the desired water management methods. This may offer insights for local decision-makers to strengthen water resource management and improve community well-being.
