Wilhelmina Nolan gave a presentation to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission about an application by NB Power Nuclear. The presentation discussed the seven teachings of the Grandmothers and Grandfathers, which include wisdom, love, respect, bravery, honesty, humility, and truth. Nolan argued that these teachings instruct people to care for future generations by protecting the environment and not leaving it damaged. She expressed concerns about the risks of nuclear technology in devastating the environment for generations and damaging life at the atomic level. Nolan believed the teachings call on people to consider these risks and make wise choices to meet energy needs without harming the planet for future generations.
