E-M:/ Mother Earth Water Walk Schedule 2008

[Kay Cumbow <kcumbow@greatlakes.net>]

Thanks to Tom Hamilton for alerting EMers to the Mother Earth Water Walk
2008! The Anishinawbe Grandmothers are walking around Lake Michigan, so
will get to Escanaba via Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin! 
Currently, they are headed south along the Lake and there is opportunity
in the next few days for Western Michigan folks to walk with them and
welcome the Walkers in their communities.   


 From their website: "Two Anishinawbe Grandmothers, and a group of
Anishinawbe Women and Men have taken action regarding the water issue by
walking the perimeter of the Great Lakes. - Along with a group of
Anishinabe-que and supports, they walked around Lake Superior in Spring
2003, around Lake Michigan in 2004, Lake Huron in 2005, Lake Ontario in
2006 and Lake Erie in 2007." 


The Grandmothers (and their supporters) are walking around Lake Michigan.
Please join them in this critical walk if you can, even for a little.
Give what you can. A walk like this takes tremendous resources. These
Walkers deserve our support. They are giving precious time from their
families to bring awareness to Great Lakes residents that "the water
is sacred and is the very life-blood of our Mother the Earth"- that
we need to protect it! -  Here is their schedule. There is more
information available about this and past Walks on their website:

Walkers. - Kay Cumbow
