Water is Life, Six Nations lead international approach to long-standing water insecurity.
By Mia Litzenberg for the Great Lakes Echo.
For the Haudenosaunee people of the Six Nations of the Grand River, Ohneganos means “water is life” in the Cayuga language.
The community-led Indigenous water research initiative, Ohneganos Ohnegahdę:gyo, has worked to address water insecurity through holistic capacity building grounded in Indigenous knowledge.
These efforts will be expanded through the new Haudenosaunee Environmental Research Institute with Indigenous partnering hubs across the Great Lakes region.
