We Are Water Protectors is lyrically written by Carole Lindstrom, Anishinaabe/Metis and proud member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe Indians, and beautifully illustrated by Michaela Goade, of Tlingit descent who is tribally enrolled with the Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska. We Are Water Protectors, is inspired by the many Indigenous-led movements across North America and this book issues an urgent rallying cry to safeguard the Earth’s water from harm and corruption. Water is the first medicine. It affects and connects us all. When a black snake threatens to destroy the Earth and poison her people's water, one young water protector takes a stand to defend Earth's most sacred resource. There is more information on water protectors, further reading, a glossary, an illustrator's note and author and illustrator details. There is also an Earth Steward and Water Protector Pledge at the end of the book. Highly recommended.
