People[edit]

Many water protectors are women.[1][2] In many Native American and FNIM cultures, women are seen to have a strong connection to water, the moon, and the cycles of the tide as they are able to become pregnant and give birth.[3]In Anishinaabe culture women perform ceremonies to honour water and water is considered to be alive and have a spirit.[4][5][6]

The water walks begun by Josephine Mandamin in the Great Lakes region continue to take place, and have spread worldwide, in an ongoing effort to raise visibility.[7]

Well-known water protectors include: Autumn Peltier (of the Wikwemikong First Nation);[4][8][9] [10][11]Peltier's aunt Josephine Mandamin, Marjorie Flowers, Inuk, Nunatsiavut, Labrador.
