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
