10 IT IS OUR ROLE AS ANISHINAABE-KWE TO PROTECT OUR WATER AND OUR EARTH

11 OUR FIRST TEACHING HAPPENS IN THE WOMB Bringing life is one of our holiest acts we have as women, bringing a spirit being into the physical world Thinking we come from a long river of ancestral waters from many grandmothers before me, just this very thought can be overwhelming on how sacred our waters are Also the waters of my ancestors flow through me, hundreds of years and hundreds of strong grandmothers before me Keeping our sacred waters balanced and clean is our first act of respect and love for new life We create and mould the future in the nine months spirits live in our womb Mother s practice balance of all things, our first lesson in multi-tasking, balancing life, balancing water, balancing emotion and physical being

12 WE NEED TO SHARE OUR TEACHINGS OF THE SACREDNESS OF WATER WITH EVERYONE

13 DON T WAIT FOR ANYONE, JUST DO IT

14 I SHUT DOWN A MAJOR SECTION OF THE TRANS CANADA HIGHWAY TO CREATE AWARENESS AND TO STAND WITH STANDING ROCK

15 I TRAVELLED TO WINNIPEG TO SPEAK FOR THE CANADIAN ROOTS EXCHANGE & MET WAB KINEW, MP OF MANITOBA

16 GOT TO MEET WITH OTHER YOUTH AND MADE NEW FRIENDS, WHO INVITED ME TO PARLIAMENT HILL

49 WATER CEREMONY-ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS, SPIRIT NEVER WAITS FOR ANYONE!!

50 I M JUST A KID TOO, AND I CAN BE SILLY SOMETIMES

51 WHERE I M AT TODAY. I have travelled over 200,000 KM across Canada and the USA sharing my message with women of all ages My goal is to empower youth to stand up for our peoples basic human rights as we shouldn t have to worry about these issues but my great great grandchildren are inheriting this planet and I need to ensure there will be a planet for my descendants Climate change is 100% preventable. When my grandfather was a little boy nothing came in plastic, plastic is destroying our planet and killing our animals. Even making plastic is damaging Everything humans do has an impact and we need to be mindful and respectful, but not everyone is listening and mother earth is taking action with natural disasters My work is only beginning, and I don t know how long I will keep going We need to help the one person who inspires me as she needs to retire and its now our turn to help mother earth.

52 ASK YOURSELF WHAT YOU CAN DO? Any amount of work for the water helps An activity to create awareness or cleaning the land is something that is better than nothing Share your story with youth Visit the elders and listen to their stories of how the old ways were and how we can go back and we can change our thinking Teach the children young, as children do as they learn from their parents Be creative and any idea is a good idea

53 I DO IT FOR THE WATER.
