Ojibwe Elder Sharon Day invites you to walk with her on a Nibi (Water) Walk on April 30 and May 1, Sharon (and other walkers) will carry water from the Willow River’s headwaters near Clear Lake to where it enters the St. Croix near Hudson, WI.
Nibi (Water) Walks are based in Ojibwe Ceremonial Water Teachings. According to Sharon Day, “The reason we walk is to honor the rivers and all water and to speak to the water spirits so that there will be healthy rivers, lakes and oceans for our ancestors in the generations to come.”
An orientation (held virtually at 10:00 a.m. Saturday morning, April 3) will prepare all walkers to participate in the two day walk safely, comfortably, and reverently. COVID-19 protocols for ensuring the safety of participants during transport and gatherings will be strictly observed. Walkers may participate for as much of the walk as they choose. This year’s Nibi Walk is being co-sponsored by NWW, the Friends of the Willow River and Kinnickinnic State Parks and the Clear Lake Earth Day Committee.
