“We Are Water Protectors” is a book by Carole Lindstrom and Michaela Goade, which introduces children to environmental issues caused by resource extraction, particularly focusing on water protection through the lens of Indigenous-led climate movements. The book emphasizes the sacredness of water and the importance of collective action and intergenerational cooperation in environmental stewardship.
