Water is life
—
We need water every day
We need water as we play
We are water in our bodies
We need water every day
—
Stories keep traditions strong
Stories make us stay alive
We can learn new things each day
From the stories our teachers say
—
Courage is defeating our fears
Standing up for what’s right
Courage is being brave
Courage is standing up for our friends
—
The Coral, Salamanders, Salmon, Raccoons, Plants, Octopus, Dolphins, The Whale,
The Jelly fish, The Orcas, The Seahorse , The Kittens, The puppies
our friends
—
We all need water every day
We need water every day
Share your story every day

Water is life
nspired by the many Indigenous-led movements across North America, We Are Water Protectors issues an urgent rallying cry to safeguard the Earth’s water from harm and corruption―a bold and lyrical picture book written by Carole Lindstrom and vibrantly illustrated by Michaela Goade.
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.
