Nibi is a love song for the water. Nibi translates to water in Anishinaabemowin. Maddie Resmer, a camper at O:se Kenhionhata:tie Landback Camp, speaks about water which is such a huge burden in Indigenous Communities to some degree; having to constantly fight for clean water. To protect water and to be able to use water which is part of traditional lands in traditional ways; to fish in the water, collect water from natural springs and streams to use.   When singing Nibi, as much as it is singing praise and love for the water that is around us, it is also a call for hope to a lot of the communities that don't have that access to clean water and are still fighting for protection of their waters.When we say water is life we really mean that in the literal sense. - Maddie Resmer Photo by Erik O'Neill Cover Art by Tania Willems Support: https://www.landbackcamp.com/get_involved
