With just a canoe and a tent, the 20-year-old and his family have travelled more than 400 kilometres to protest a provincial law that designated the area a "special economic zone" for mining.
Now, Prime Minister Mark Carney's "nation-building" law - his first major piece of legislation - is poised to put even more of a spotlight on the region. Dubbed the One Canadian Economy Act, the law was passed at a time when the country is involved in a costly trade war with the United States.
And while it could bring billions of investment into places like the Ring of Fire, it could also undermine indigenous nations' rights to their own land, community members fear.
