World Water Day is a global observance dedicated to the importance of fresh water and the sustainable management of this vital resource. At ROM, we celebrate this day by reflecting on the deep significance of water to Indigenous Peoples and communities.
Through the lens of Indigenous Water Walkers and voices, students will learn about the sacredness of water and its central role in sustaining life. Water Walkers, many of whom are women, carry water over long distances to raise awareness about the pollution and protection of our waters. This tradition underscores the responsibility we all share in caring for our water systems as stewards of the Earth.
In this interactive and insightful session taught by an Indigenous Museum Educator, students will hear personal stories from the Indigenous Learning and Programs team and from Indigenous Knowledge Carriers, learn about the interconnectedness of water systems, and reflect on how we can all be water protectors in our everyday lives.
