Mother Earth Walk 2011
 

March 30, 2011

This spring, Elder Josephine Mandamin and other Mother Earth Water Walkers will be coming from four directions across North America carrying copper pails containing salt water from three oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. Their waters will ultimately be combined with water from the Great Lakes at a Water Ceremony near the shores of Lake Superior near Bad River, Wisconsin.

Elder Josephine Mandamin will be present at the OPSEU Convention on April 6th and 7th as a guest of the Aboriginal Circle to spread the message to our attendees and raise awareness that water is a sacred gift of the Creator and the source of all life on Mother Earth.

OPSEU members and locals along the Ontario routes in Regions 4, 6 & 7 can especially help the Water Walkers by becoming familiar with the Water Walk MAP at www.emptyglassforwater.ca/map . For more information on how you can help please contact Joanne Robertson at waterwalk2011@gmail.com
