"Then we learned about Autumn Peltier, who's a water warrior; she speaks about the sacredness of water and advocates for clean drinking water for all children in Canada, especially first nations communities, because there are so many communities that don't have clean drinking water."

They created the hashtag #SayTheirNamesShareTheirStories to get the message out.
