Exploring Water Protection through an Indigenous lens.

The ‘Water is Life’ Legal Summit, presented by Keepers of the Water and the Indigenous Knowledge and Wisdom Centre, shed light on topics related to Indigenous sovereignty and the protection of water from an Indigenous worldview. These presentations highlighted the significance of recognizing Indigenous nations as sovereign entities. They emphasized their inherent rights, natural laws, and rich cultural traditions that have endured before and after treaties were established. Knowledge keepers and Elders from across Treaties 6 & 8 travelled to share their knowledge, stories and cultural traditions.
