The Rufa Red Knot is a subspecies of arctic-breeding shorebird that breed in the central arctic of Canada. These unique and vital birds are officially endangered, with only one Red Knot currently living for every ten that were alive 50 years ago.
Working with our Cree partners, Nature Canada has created a comic book and video about the life of the Red Knot. Elder Luci Salt of Chisasibi, a village on the eastern shore of James Bay, is the narrator of the video and also the translator for the Northern Cree version of the comic.
