Instagram post 2146051666250570574_1434995279 Warrior Up! How can we redefine our relationship to water? It is time to move our energy towards healing and change! Autumn Peltier is a Water Protector and Water Warrior. She is Anishinabe-kwe and a member of the Wikwemikong First Nation and an internationally recognized for her advocacy for clean water, and she has been doing it since she was 8 years old! She nurtures the connection we all to water since our time spent in the womb. According to cultural teachings, one learns to love water as they love their mother. She belives: "We need to have ore elders and youth together sitting at the decision table when people make decisions about our lands and waters." Autumns leadership for the water traces back even to her female ancestors, from whom she inherited her traditional role as a water carrier. Drawing on inspiration from her great aunt, Josephine Mandamin elder and water activist, and founder of the Mother Earth Water Walkers .[ She first spoke as a youth last year at the UN when she was only 13 years old, and again last week advocating for the importance of water as being sacred, and the importance for communities to have access to clean drinking water. She said she'e been taught traditional knowledge from an early age about the sacredness of water, and that more people should learn these lessons. #indigenousleadership #sacredwater #waterteachings #indigenousknowledge #sustainabledevleopment #traditionalteachings #activism #fridaysforfuture #climateaction #indigenousclimateaction #indigenousscience

We as people have to do the same.” Chief Charles Labrador of Acadia First Nation, Nova Scotia ✨🌱💕🍃🌿🌲🌳 “Only when knowledge is conditioned by respect can it be truly shared” (in Mi’kmaq: “Ta’n tujiw kjijitaqn tela’tasik kepne’ktn ketloqo kisiktpi’tasitew”) (Mi’kmawey 1997). This is a guidance principle “Trees Holding Hands” from the late Mi’kmaw Spiritual Leader, Healer, and Chief Charles Labrador of Acadia First Nation, Nova Scotia. Excerpt from the Institute of Integrative Science
Instagram post 2140901405836230060_1434995279 What is your responsibility to relationships? What is our responsibility to the water? What is our responsibility to the land? Stay Human. We have a responsibility to all the creatures because they work in harmony with us. For us as human being we have to remember to do that and remember our place in the world." - Bob Lovelace; Ardoch Algonquin First Nation Photo: Mni Ki Wakan Summit “Mni Ki Wakan integrates the guiding language of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and enables the participation of all stakeholders from multiple levels across sectors and indigenous communities to ensure a strategic comprehensive water movement where every indigenous person’s voice is felt and heard.” #indigenous #indigenousrights #indigenouspride #interdependence #traditionalknowledge #traditionalecologicalknowledge #indigenousrising

Instagram post 2136599213532889395_1434995279 It has long been recognized by Indigenous peoples that the health of Mother Earth is directly linked to the health of people: if we do not pay attention to the knowledge that exists among diverse cultures regarding how to take care of local ecologies, we risk abandoning the very solutions that we seek with respect to the world's most pressing health and ecological crises. #indigenousrising #indigenousempowerment #medicinewheelwellness #turtleisland #sustainabledevelopment #traditionalecologicalknowledge
