Jerry Natanine speaks to community members in Clyde River at an Aug. 1 rally to celebrate last week’s Supreme Court of Canada decision, with Clyde River mayor James Qillaq by his side. On July 26, the court overturned the National Energy Board’s June 2014 authorization of a five-year seismic testing project in the waters of Baffin Bay and Davis Strait, east of Baffin Island. Natanine, one of the appellants in the case, quickly became the face of Clyde River’s fight and received a rousing welcome when he returned home from Ottawa earlier this week.
