If possible, we recommend inviting an Indigenous community member into the learning environment to help teach about the important role of Water Walkers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ojibwe and Odawa Knowledge Keepers Liz Osawamick and Shirley Williams originally from Wiikwemkong Unceded First Nation on Manitoulin Island shared with QUILLS the important role Indigenous women play protecting water for future generations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Story Summary<\/strong>:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe story of a determined Ojibwe Grandmother (Nokomis) the late Josephine Mandamin and her great love for Nibi (water). Nokomis walks to raise awareness of our need to protect Nibi for future generations, and for all life on the planet. Nokomis along with other women, men, and youth, have walked around all the Great Lakes from the four salt waters, or oceans, to Lake Superior. The walks are full of challenges, and by her example Josephine invites us all to take up our responsibility to protect our water, the giver of life, and to protect our planet for all future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ex.
