We Are Water Protectors<\/h1>\n

We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom<\/a> is a phenomenal book for children that tells the story of the Indigenous “Seven Fires Prophesy,” which tells of a “black snake” that comes after the land and the sacred water. As the story continues, it becomes clear that the black snake they spoke of came in the form of oil pipelines, which often cross Native lands. When the pipeline leaks, the black snake of crude oil poisons the water. This effects the local agriculture, fish, and even Indigenous access to clean drinking water.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is the rallying cry of the small child telling this story to stand together against the black snake for the protection of Mother Earth and all her inhabitants. With her chorus, she declares “we stand with our songs and our drums. We are still here.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
