A full half hour report on the Mother Earth Water Walk. Starting in Machias this Saturday, May 7th, a group of native people and their supporters will begin a walk of over 4 million steps to Bad River, Wisconsin, carrying water from the Atlantic Ocean. Walkers are heading to Lake Superior from 4 directions of the continent, carrying water from the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and the Hudson to call attention to the crises facing fresh water, a life source for all species. We speak with coordinating organizers for the Eastern Walk, Madeleine Huntjens and Kehben Grier about the walk and how listeners can get involved.
