Keepers of the Water

The Keepers of the Water movement was born during the first Keepers of the Water Gathering in Liidlii Kui, Denendeh/Fort Simpson, NWT, held on September 7, 2006. This Gathering was called because the northern Deh Cho (Mackenzie) River Basin people were becoming alarmed by reports of increased turbidity and toxicity and decreased volume of water in their watershed. They wanted to know what was happening to the water and the ecosystems that relied upon it.
