Bimaaji Nibi: Save the Life of the Water

Save The Wild UP would like to send a special thanks to Keepers of the Water, a coalition partner, for their beautiful video highlighting the need to protect our freshwater resources from sulfide mining. The video, entitled Bimaaji Nibi, was directed by Barb Bradley and filmed and edited by Amy Parlette with assistance from waterfall guide Kora Mills. It recently aired on WLUC TV6 and contains footage of three waterfalls in the Yellow Dog Watershed. In the Ojibwe culture (the first people of the Great Lakes Region) the men are the keepers of the fire and the women are the keepers of the water, "nibi". The project was funded through a grant from the Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN) and the Western Mining Action Network (WMAN).
