Growing wildfires in Canada have forced widespread evacuations, with 17,000 people moved in Manitoba. Many of these people are from Canada's First Nations, in remote communities accessible only by single roads, boat or air. Chief David Monias of Pimicikamak Cree Nation is helping coordinate his community's evacuation. He tells The World's Carol Hills there is not enough accommodation, and resources are scarce as many communities need help.
