“It is said that when the water turns to poison and you can no longer eat the fish, A New People will emerge…They will have the choice of two roads.” –Ojibwe History
In 2003 Josephine Mandamin (Ojibwe) walked Lake Superior and subsequently ALL five Great Lakes to raise awareness for the needless abuse of the Waters and for their protection.
She walked and she prayed with and for the Waters. She traveled to Lake Monona in 2012, the year of the hot drought, and spoke to the people from her heart.
Josephine Mandamin and William Waterway Marks (Wachichu) led a traditional Water Walk around the Lake to raise awareness in 2012.
Lake Monona Water Walk Coordinator Dianne Jean Aldrich (Santee/Wachichu) received the calling from Spirit to continue the Water Walk in 2013 as a prayer walk, in 2014 as a healing walk.
The 4th and last Water Walk is a gratitude walk.
People will recognize themselves and one another on the shores of Lake Monona to sing, dance, drum, walk in unity and peace as one family. All are welcomed to join together as A New People continue to emerge doing the common good for all here and around the world.
