Bad River Film Screening- in partnership with the Water is Life Festival and the LTBB Natural Resources Dept.

The Water is Life Festival is an annual event that celebrates our connection to the water and builds power through community so we can work towards living in a holistic way with the water and protect it from those who seek to exploit or endanger it. The festival is held the Saturday before Labor Day in Petoskey, MI. Indigenous women are at the heart of planning and executing the Water is Life Festival because, traditionally, Indigenous women are protectors of water. This is a deeply-seated spiritual and functional responsibility.

The Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians Natural Resources Department implements the wise use of natural resources.
