I am ... Josephine Mandamin


Josephine Mandamin is a gentle spirit, yet she is full of conviction and determination. Her passion and devotion to ensure the protection of our water sources has brought her around all five Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. As a grandmother, Josephine believes it is the responsibility of the woman to take care of our sacred water. She is truly an individual who lives by the teachings and values of the Anishnawbe culture. She is originally from Wikwemikong Unceded Territory on Manitoulin Island.
