The Junior Water Walkers


Melissa Oskineegish speaks to Peter Cameron, a classroom teacher at St. Elizabeth school in Thunder Bay. Peter describes how the Junior Water Walkers program seeks to honour Elder Josephine Mandamin, who, as a water walker, travelled over 25,000km around the Great Lakes bringing awareness to water conservation. In this interview Peter shares how the Junior Water Walkers program was incorporated into this class and how it continues to evolve. A link to the Junior Water Walkers program and Josephine’s story is found below.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
