A Traditional Approach to Address Water Issues in Anisininew Red Sucker Lake
CWSF · 2026 Health & Wellness
Overview
In this project I tried to find new and simple ways to produce clean water anywhere in my community, or out on the land. Access to clean water for drinking and household use in my community has been an ongoing problem for several years. In the project I researched from our elders how our ancestors made sure water was safe to drink and wash with over the centuries. One thing I learned was about the importance and reliability of the muskeg as a place to find safe water. In the project I did simple experiments to investigate the ability of Muskeg to filter water and increase its quality.
