Tidying up Mother Earth

A beautiful sunny day, Earth Day April 22nd, was an ideal time to spend outdoors.  Five elders, all over 60, from the Ontario Native Women’s Association group “Anishinaabekwe of the North Shore”, in Garden River FN honoured Mother Earth by taking part in the “Earth Day Clean-Up Walk” The group cleaned up litter for one kilometre along Highway 17 East from the Root River Bridge to the Sault Ste. Marie City limits.  They watched Eagles soaring over the fields and a demonstration of Ministry of Natural Resources planes loading tanks with water from the St. Marys River for fire-fighting.   – By Margaret Hele
