A community’s march for clean water, in coloring-book form

This bilingual Cree-English coloring book introduces the Journey for Life through the perspective of little Mimi and her puppy, Maskwa, who join their family on a march for clean water. The story is inspired by events in Pukatawagan in 1994, when members of the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation, facing illness linked to contaminated water and delays in repairs to the water-sewage system, carried their concerns on an 800-kilometre trek to Winnipeg. Its coloring-book format brings a children’s story together with a documented moment of peaceful activism in First Nations history.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children interested in stories about community action and clean water.
  • Families seeking a bilingual Cree-English book to share.
  • Readers exploring First Nations history through a children’s story.

Book overview

The coloring book of the bilingual Cree-English story of little Mimi and her puppy, Maskwa, marching with her family for clean water is inspired by real-life events in Pukatawagan. In July 1994, the people of the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation had been sickened for over 6 months by highly-contaminated water. Weary of delays by various authorities to repair the faulty water-sewage system, the community decided to take their concerns on a 800 kilometre trek south to Winnipeg - The Journey for Life - right to the Manitoba legislature. The Journey for Life by Pukatawagan children, women, men, and elders for clean water is a significant event of peaceful activism in Canada's First Nations history.
