THE WATER WALKER is a short documentary, tracing the roots, passion and perseverance of climate activist Autumn Peltier. We follow her story as she prepares to speak at the United Nations.

In 2019, 14-year-old Autumn was named the chief water commissioner by the Anishinabek Nation, a position previously held by her late Great Aunt Josephine Mandamin, an elder and founding member of the water protectors movement. THE WATER WALKER is the first project from Seeing Red 6Nations. Seeing Red 6Nations is an Indigenous-owned media company, based on Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. Seeing Red 6Nations exists to amplify the voices and vision of established and emerging Indigenous storytellers… and to increase representation and cultural accuracy of Indigenous people in all forms of media.
