Part of the SAMAQAN: Water Stories series 2
This documentary from SAMAQAN: Water Stories, Series Two is one of 13 programs that continues to explore the theme of water from the perspective of North America's Indigenous people. It's the second of five films that trace a spiritual water journey initiated by the determined actions of Josephine Mandamin, an Anishinaabe Elder and healer from Thunder Bay. In 2010, she embarked on a journey of four walks to bring four pails of water from the four oceans that surround North America to Lake Superior for a ceremony to raise awareness about the future of this valuable resource.
This program follows Josephine and the water walkers on their longest journey, the Western Walk. From Puget Sound, Josephine and the water walkers begin their longest journey, the Western Walk. Their trek takes them through the Cascade Mountains and White Pass as they cross Washington state. Inspired by this action to raise consciousness about the importance of water and the need to protect it, local Indigenous people join them along the way.
