From the Sault (Ont.) Star:
First Nations will bridge the river to protect the St. Mary’s on World Water Day, March 22.
Elders from both sides of the border will share their knowledge about water ceremonies and raise awareness about the need to protect local waterways. Garden River and Batchawana First Nations, Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians and the Bay Mills Indian community will all be on hand.
The four tribes first came together in 2004 to sign the Tribal and First Nations Water Accord, under which they work to influence the Canadian and U.S. governments to protect St. Mary’s River and its ecosystems.
The event takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Sault Tribe Cultural Building in Sault, Michigan. Traditional food will be served, bring a dish to pass.
