Lake Superior Walkers Protectors of the Waters Migration Project A sacred journey for seven generations to come. The group has adopted the philosophy of the Seventh Generation teaching of the Anishinabe whereby the decisions, which are being made today, must recognize the obligations that we have to the future generations. As a group of people of all colors and backgrounds, we realize there is a need to reach out, educate and encourage all people to protect the Earth, her waters and living things dependant upon her, in an effort to restore the natural balance for the seven generations to come. We aim to accomplish this by relating the teachings of the original peoples of North America to the findings of modern science regarding the state of the natural environment today.
Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world.
For many people, it is an important source of food, livelihood and drinking water. Lake Superior is also an important part of the spirituality of the Anishinabeg as passed down by our ancestors and oral histories. It is now threatened due to contamination, global warming caused by over-development, and a growing, global water crisis that further threatens the sanctity of its waters and many life forms that depend on it, including, people. This courageous group embarked on and completed a 1,200-mile journey around Lake Superior. During the Walk to Remember it became apparent that we are not alone in our concern for clean air and water.
