Autumn Peltier, Water Warrior

Autumn Peltier, Water Warrior
by Carole Lindstrom (Author), Bridget George (Illustrator), and Autumn Peltier (Introduction)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: Indigenous women have long cared for the land and water, which in turn sustains all life on Earth–honoring their ancestors and providing for generations to come. Yet there was a time when their voices and teachings were nearly drowned out, leaving entire communities and environments in danger and without clean water.

But then came Grandma Josephine and her great-niece, Autumn Peltier.

Snippet:
The seventh generation is creating
A sea of change.

It was a soft voice, at first.
Like a ripple.
But with practice it grew louder.
