We, as First Nation peoples of North America, believe that the water is sacred and is the very life-blood of our Mother the Earth. Together we need to harmonize with all peoples and spread awareness of the condition of the Earth’s fresh water supply. Everyday usage of water in many situations is being taken for granted and in doing so jeopardizes the future of our waters for future generations. If the disregard for the water supply continues, we can expect that the water will be depleted and unfit for human consumption; thus demanding the urgency of raising awareness of the conservation of this beautiful life source.
Aboriginal peoples in Ontario are aware of the growing rise of our polluted waters. We as aboriginal peoples are taught that the water is sacred and replenishes the very air we breathe.
