Water Cleanup

In collaboration with the UW-Sea Grant for UW-Green Bay's Day of Service, we're hosting a hands-on water clean up event dedicated to making a positive impact on our environment. Help us beautify our campus water areas while raising awareness about the importance of environmental stewardship. All necessary supplies will be handed out on-site. Dress for the weather.
Book Discussion with Joanne Robertson
November 6 | 3 p.m. | Wood Hall 450
Joanne Robertson is Anishinaabe kwe, bald eagle clan, and a member of Atikameksheng Anishnawbek. Join her as she talks about her book, The Water Walker.
Robertson was adopted as a baby by her French/German/Canadian parents and raised on a farm in Southern Ontario. She was reunited with her Anishinaabe family in her twenties, and began helping Grandmother Josephine-ba Mandamin, The Water Walker, in 2011. Joanne received her degree in fine arts from Algoma University and Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig at age 50. She continues to support water walks through live GPS spotting to ensure the water and walkers are safe. She is also currently working on two new books. Joanne lives, writes and draws beside the Goulais River in Ontario, Canada.

Each week, you can gather with and learn from Indigenous Elders, a practice that First Nations cultures have been doing for generations.
