Two Anishinawbe Grandmothers, and a group of Anishinawbe Women and Men have taken action regarding the water issue by walking the perimeter of the Great Lakes.

Along with a group of Anishinabe-que and supports, they walked around Lake Superior in Spring 2003, around Lake Michigan in 2004, Lake Huron in 2005, Lake Ontario in 2006, Lake Erie in 2007, Lake Michigan in 2008, and St Lawrence River in 2009.

Our mission is to raise awareness about our water.

State investigates toxic algae at seventh state park.

Warning signs are being posted at two more state parks, including one along Lake Erie, as blue-green algae continue to appear in more lakes across Ohio.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is to post warnings at the 2,650-acre lake at West Branch State Park near Ravenna in Portage County after an algae bloom was noticed there today. Also today, warning signs were posted along a 1,500-foot Lake Erie beach at East Harbor State Park in Ottawa County.

An Anishinabe prophesied that "In about 30 years, if we humans continue with our negligence, an ounce of drinking water will cost the same as an ounce of gold."

Water is essential to survival and health.
