And poison her people's water, one young water protector
Takes a stand to defend Earth's most sacred resource.

The fight continues with Autumn Peltier, Water Warrior , the must-read companion book to We Are Water Protectors . Written by Carole Lindstrom and illustrated by Bridget George, it tells the story of real-life water protectors, Autumn Peltier and her great-aunt Josephine Mandamin, two Indigenous Rights Activists who have inspired a tidal wave of change.
