Nibi Anishinaabe Ikwewag Inaakonigewin
Water as a Sacred Spirit and the Role of Indigenous Women in Water Governance
For generations, Anishnaabe Ikwewag (women) have carried a special responsibility to nibi (water), the giver of life and a connection among people, community, and the natural world. Join indigenous women from across the Great Lakes to explore this sacred relationship, the legacy of Nokimis Josephine Mandamin-ba and the water walkers, and the future of women-led water protection and stewardship.
