Biinaagami

OUR SHARED RESPONSIBILITY TO THE GREAT LAKES

Biinaagami (BEE-nah-ga-meh)

Translated from Anishinaabemowin, Biinaagami means pure, clean water. Biinaagami is a multimedia, change-provoking initiative rooted in Indigenous knowledges. Through ceremony, mapping, inclusive storytelling, augmented reality, experiential learning, community water hubs and ecosystem restoration, Biinaagami aims to rebuild just and healthy relations between wildlife, people and place in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence watershed.

Biinaagami is a call to action. Biinaagami affirms our shared responsibility to this tapestry of land and waters that many call home.
