We Are Water People

Send a textFamily Chiefs of the Wyandot of Anderdon Nation Sue Szachta and Linda Filipek discuss how the Detroit River has acted as border, connection, and home at various times in the Nation's history, as well as how the River informs their personal relationship with Six Points at Gibraltar, a site that is both sacred ancestral burial grounds and an up-and-coming educational center that brings awareness to ecology, history, and Indigenous issues. Sue and Linda both hear the River calling them to embrace their histories and futures as "water people." Do you?
