“We’ve known for a long time that water is alive. Water can hear you. Water can sense what you are saying and what you are feeling… Give it respect and it can come alive. Like anything. Like a person who is sick… if you give them love, take care of them, they’ll come alive.”
Josephine Mandamin,Anishinaabe elder, water-rights advocate, Anishinabek Nation Chief Water Commissioner
