We Are Water Protectors

Carole Lindstrom

An Ojibwe girl describes water as part of her people’s life, spirit, and connection to ancestors. When a black snake threatens to poison the water, she and her community stand together to defend the water, the earth, and its creatures. The story was inspired by the Standing Rock protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline and focuses on Indigenous-led protection of a community’s water supply.
