Sharing our logo callout entries - take a look at our Facebook for full descriptions! We loved all entries so much - youth along the North Shore (and far far away) are so talented! #NibiNikwejiwong #YouthforNibi

Carlie Kane: "Water is our life blood, it sustains us, it nourishes us, it created us, and it flows within us. To me, Water is everything, it is life. Water is something we cannot live without, yet it is continually polluted and mistreated. Water is sacred..." Miigwech, Carlie

Oliver Matt, 8yo: "The Creek means everything. The "J" is made up of an airplane and the Creek. The tunnel is there with the train. There are people at a park and a guy at a train stop. There is a cross representing Jesus. Junction Creek is a fun place to bike!" Miigwech, Oliver

Krista Belleau, 28yo: "Krista Belleau ndizhnikaaz. Chitwaa kwe, Garden River Ndoonjibaa , Ajijaak dodem. Water is the first thing we've ever known. We were created and born from water. Water is our life. If we never had water, we would never exist." Miigwech, Krista

Zaagidiwin Peltier: "What the water means to me is that its really nice to us. i once gave it tobacco. I'm very sorry in spring it is alone. But it's for the best, so you don't get hurt." Miigwech, Zaagidiwin

Hannah Filiatreault: "Every living thing on earth needs water... It is present in every aspect of our daily lives. We wouldn't have any of the material possessions or hobbies we have today if it weren't for water. It is essential for our survival, and for our enjoyment of life."

Harmony Eshkawkogan's entry echoes the beautiful connection between Nohkomis and Nibi!

Dariya Quenneville: "Water is life. It is water a life giving force, but water teaches us how to live a harmonious and beautiful life. Water is the perfect balance of strength and softness, of adaptability and flow, of humbleness and power." Miigwech, Dariya!

Page Chartrand, 19yo: "As a Anishnaabe kwe, I am born from water, grew up in and by the water, and I feel like I am now growing into the immensity of the water. My Nokomis who passed away four years ago is the woman who guided me on my journey as a strong Indigenous woman."

Maria Fernanda Montoya: "Water keeps us alive, let's not waste it, let's reuse it if possible. Make friends with mother nature, don't be just another enemy." Miigwech

Miigwaans Osawamick-Sagassige is a youth Eagle Water Staff Carrier from Wiikwemkoong who walked around the Kawartha Lakes and also with the late Josephine-Ba Mandamin. He also represents the Deaf Nation! His entry for the Logo Call Out shows his connection to that Migizi!

We have an entry from Clayton Osawamick as well! The Osawamicks are known for their commitment to the Water. -Miigwech Clayton!

Be safe this weekend!

We are still committed to Walking for the Water in Ceremony; however, we do wish to keep everyone safe and be respectful of the guidelines. We will have other opportunities for engagement, however, including more online activities and ways you can engage with the water safely!
