Today, we are excited to welcome Sharon Day to the Native Lights Podcast. Sharon is enrolled with the Bois Forte Band of Ojibwe, and she serves as the executive director of the Indigenous Peoples Task Force. She's also a grandmother, an artist, a musician and writer, and she leads Water Walks, or Nibi Walks.
A deep reverence for all living things underpins the decades she has devoted to Nibi Walks. She and fellow walkers gather water at the source and carry it the length or perimeter of the body of water. This can last weeks. They undertake these journeys to show respect for the water and to support its health. And because humans are mostly made of water, she is reminded that its health is our health too.
Sharon makes her home on a farm, which is also a home and sanctuary for many kinds of wildlife. Spending so much time outdoors, she is attuned to the seasons and the impacts of climate change. Every morning, she wakes with gratitude for the land and a hope that she can be a little more kinder that day.
