PAOV — “While there have been significant long term plans to end Indigenous water struggles, there has been a lack of Government action.” There are still seventeen drinking water advisories in fifteen different First Nations communities in British Columbia, and 73% of First Nations water systems across the country are at risk of contamination. If you agree that the federal government needs to make clean drinking water access a priority, sign the petition now.

34,331 have signed Joseph Brant’s petition. Let’s get to 35,000!

For too long Indigenous lives, culture and land have been left as status quo. The quality of life is below par while The Gov of Canada consistently promise support however lack in action. Currently there is an overwhelming majority of First Nations without clean drinking water. Some are STILL on boil advisory.

In an address to the United Nations in New York; Canadian Water Activist Ms Autumn Peltier ended with:

“When we stand together as one, we are one voice and one Nation”

@JustinTrudeau lets unite and become one Nation.

In Canada, while our water quality is ranked among the best in the world having 20% of the worlds fresh water, First Nations across the country STILL struggle to access a safe supply.

73% of #firstnations water systems are at high or medium risk of contamination. Global Water Activist Autumn Peltier & The Dreamcatcher Foundation & Healthy 6 Nations are working together to evoke recognition, awareness and support from the Canadian Government and Party Leaders to partner and distribute Healthy6Nations water filtration systems to First Nations across Canada.

While there have been significant long term plans to end Indigenous water struggles, there has been a lack of Government action. Healthy6Nations is currently taking owned action and addressing the crisis through immediate and meaningful action today while searching for collaboration and Government accountability.

The ‘right to water’ is recognized by the United Nations. It entitles every person, without discrimination, access to safe, sufficient, physically accessible and affordable water.
