While I understand the fear of oil pipelines, I am not sure I agree with the concerns. However, I did read the book. My kids were intrigued by it and did notice it is likely a First Nations story. It's always good to present a different perspective to my classroom of children whose parents are often employed in the oil industry?

Inspired by the many Indigenous-led movements across North America, We Are Water Protectors issues an urgent rallying cry to safeguard the Earth's water from harm and corruption--a bold and lyrical picture book written by Carole Lindstrom and vibrantly illustrated by Michaela Goade.
Water is the first medicine.
It affects and connects us all . . .
When a black snake threatens to destroy the Earth
And poison her people's water, one young water protector
Takes a stand to defend Earth's most sacred resource.
