In collaboration with several Albertan, the Dehcho First Nations and national support organizations, the Polaris Institute of Ottawa, with input from the DFN, has been callinged for a moratorium on expansion of the Alberta tar sands especially due to the impact on the Dehcho's water and environment from the Athabasca tar sands.
