Climate Leadership Coordinator

Carole Monture (she/her) is Kanienkehá:ka (Mohawk) Wolf Clan from Six Nations of the Grand River territory where she now lives with her family. 

Born and raised in Tkaronto, Carole kept her connections close to her family, community, and culture while growing up in the city and actively worked to maintain those ties during her time at McMaster University while pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Honours Indigenous Studies.

While living in Hamilton, Carole was introduced to community organizing on and off campus and was able to observe how the same systems of power that harm and exploit our communities and our Mother Earth are the same systems of power that created the conditions of climate change.  

In her role at ICA as Climate Leadership Coordinator Carole feels honoured to work alongside Indigenous communities through the Climate Leadership Program as they explore the root causes of climate change and work towards real solutions guided by their cultures and ways of knowing.
