Imagine, after a nice run, you go to hydrate yourself. You turn on the tap and the water that comes out is the same shade as tree bark. This is what First Nations communities have to go through on a daily basis. Clean water is not a privilege, but a human right. It doesn’t take more than a Google search to find out what’s going on in First Nations reserves across the country, yet the government of Canada seems to not be making it a priority. While we in the city complain about vaccines, masks and not being able to attend large gatherings, Indigenous communities are suffering with the lack of clean and filtered water. We all understand the importance of water. We clean ourselves with it, cook with it and hydrate ourselves with it. Seventy per cent of our body is made up of water.
