A review by ljrinaldi
The Water Walker by Joanne Robertson
4.0
Having just gone through five years of drought, in California, I am well aware of how precious water and the lack of it can be.
And yet, I have never heard of Josephine Mandamin and her efforts to make people aware, on Turtle Island (North American), how precious water (Nibi) is. What a great introduction to the importance of water, and to the indigenous Ojibwe people's words.
Hightly recommend this book both for the story, and the introduction to this important water warrior that we should be hearing more about.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
