Water Grandmother
About
We are developing and promoting the initiative of the “Water Grandmother” (Samaqan Nuhkomoss, Samuqwan Mi'kiju); a Maliseet person who will visit with First Nations communities across New Brunswick to raise awareness and where possible, address local water quality issues.
The science and technical support regarding water quality will be provided by the Canadian River Institute (CRI) and its partners in the provincial and federal governments. In addition, the CRI involvement will provide the window and access point to post-secondary education opportunities in environmental management that will arise from the Water Grandmother’s work in the local communities.
The NB Water Grandmother is Cecelia Brooks of the St. Mary's First Nation, Sitansisk (Fredericton).
