Josephine Mandamin (Anishinaabemowin: Biidaasige-ba - "The one who comes with the light"; February 21, 1942 – February 22, 2019) was an Anishinaabe First Nations grandmother, elder and founding member of the water protectors movement. She was a survivor of the Canadian Indian residential school system and founder of the Mother Earth Water Walkers. During her 77 years, she walked about 25,000 miles around the shorelines of all the Great Lakes, and other waterways of North America, carrying a bucket of water, to bring awareness to the need to protect the waters from pollution.
