Mamaangaashkaa - There are big waves

Water is Life, It's alive and holds a spirit. Ojibwe Indigenous women share a sacred connection to the spirit of water through their role as child bearers, and have particular responsibilities to protect and nurture water. Water is not only for drinking but also has traditionally and continuously been used in ceremonies, to grow medicines, and for cleansing and purification. Water is sacred and must be cared for, because without mothers and the water provided by Mother Earth we would not exist. Miigwetch
