Mother Earth Water Walk 2021
The water walks are possible thanks to your donations, we walk for several weeks, we often have to take a motel, gas is very expensive especially in some cities (it is a relay walk, so our car comes with us), plus it is necessary to eat and we need medicines for smudging and tobacco for offerings.
This website also costs money, the information leaflets, signs, safety vests, foot creams and bandages, fruits and hot beverages
we buy along the way for the walkers and several other expenses.
we thank you for your support during the 2019 Walk, we are now planning our next walk from Hawkesbury Ontario to Bates Island between Ontario and Quebec we leave on August 19th and plan to arrive on August 22nd 2021, it is a 210 km walk.
you can donate throughout the year to support our walks
We have decided to stay local this year because of the slow deconfinement period
here is a short film from our 2019 walk

Honoring our elder,
Grandmother Josephine Mandamin she left this Earth walk on
February 22nd, 2019, at the age of 77.
Her words will be in our hearts forever and her wisdom will survive through the grandmothers that will pick up the Water Bundle and continue her quest for the Water.
"Water is alive. It needs to be respected. We must recognize her as a living entity"
Grandmother Josephine Mandamin
