AUTUMN PELTIER

Autumn Peltier is a young Canadian activist for water rights and safe drinking water. She was born on Manitoulin Island and is a member of the Wikwemikong community, one of Canada's First Nations.

Autumn was eight years old when she attended a water ritual in which it was urged not to drink it without first boiling it. At the time, she discovered that many people did not have access to this resource, and she was also concerned about how it was consumed because it was not always drinkable. She has advocated for impactful causes such as access, water conservation, and the fight against the environmental emergency.

Her great aunt, Josephine Mandamin, who founded the Mother Earth Water Walkers movement and fought for the conservation of the Great Lakes until her death, inspired her. Peltier was later chosen chief water commissioner by the Anishinabek Nation in April 2019, a position formerly held by her great-aunt Mandamin.

Where’s THEIR Book? Ten Historical Figures I’d Like To See in Picture Book Biographies

by Betsy Bird

It wasn’t that long ago that biographical subjects in picture books were limited to the already famous. If you wanted to do, say, a picture book on Peg Leg Bates, you were likely to run into a publisher saying, “Sorry. There’s already one out there. Pick someone else.” Frankly, you’d have a much better chance of getting your book published if it was on Keller/Lincoln/Tubman/Earhardt/Einstein/Edison.

But that’s all changed now, hasn’t it? This year alone I’ve seen extraordinary picture books on Autumn Peltier, Edith Clarke, Edna Lewis, Cecilia Payne, Roberta Flack, Jackie Ormes, Augustus Jackson, Tom Crean, Major Taylor, Mary Lou Williams, and Jeannette Rankin, to name but a few! What caused this seismic shift in the publishing landscape? You can lay some of the credit on the Common Core Curriculum, and some on the We Need Diverse Books Movement, alongside a general shift in how we view nonfiction for kids.

I say all this, but even now it is not enough. Nope. Not enough at all. Greedy guts that I am, I want more. I want more heroes on the page! More picture book bios! And if I have to write up a whole piece on the matter, so be it.

Here then are ten people that I think are deserving of some righteous, weird, and magnificent picture book biographies. One of these I’d like to do myself, but I’ll never tell you which one . . .

Greetings mutual of mine, tis I, completing my duties as a mutual to randomly send you questions :D

What jobs would the characters from Camp Half Blood have if they were normal human beings?

This was sent a while ago IM SORRY BESTIE

And I’m only doing people who spent time at CHB. NO Reyna or Hazel or Frank + them. Sorry…

I saw this post by @ikeasharksss (link here) and this was an important thing to touch on. So let’s unpack this.

So with Percy, I see him doing stuff with kids 1000%. Sure, we all know the Marine Bio degree, but isn’t that a bit on the nose? He already knows everything. But the child development degree I have him in my Percabeth fic? That’s something. Percy’s whole thing is loyalty and protecting everyone. And we all know how he is with kids. I feel like Percy would go into Children’s Therapy or like social work (though I’m not sure if he would want to reopen the wounds working direct cases) it fulfill that. He would minor in Marine Bio because a hyperfixation on fish won’t get him far in life if he wants to do stuff in the ocean.

Annabeth would obviously be architecture and that kinda stuff. Literally the “something permanent”. There we go.

Leo also would still be a mechanic. He was a mechanic before he knew he was a demigod.

Jason… this one was kind of a hard one. I feel like he would work for the UN or something. That just seems like something he would do.

Piper, Rachel, and Grover would all be influencers. Not like Addison Rae or the Kardashians. I’m talking Greta Thunberg. Malala. Amanda Gorman. Autumn Peltier. Gen Z activist-influencers doing more than adults ever will. Piper would do more cultural activism (Indigenous + LGBTQ+ things) while Rachel + Grover would do more environmental things. I am a firm believer that Piper + Rachel + Grover would be friends if they spent more time together. They would definitely rule the world if given the chance (and spend rich people’s money)

Will would be more of a med research kinda guy than an actual doctor. He would work for the CDC and Cancer research and all that fun stuff.

Nico would work in the children’s section of the library. Easy. He was and still a nerd since, like, infancy. Children LOVE that stuff. Nico like elementary schoolers more than middle schoolers, I think.

I’ll do a part two with others if someone asks so this is all I have rn

Post 1

Hi! My name is Alex and I’m Media Studies student in the BPATs program. I’m a European immigrant, raised in the US for the majority of my life. I’m interested in horror films, video games, and art. I’m interested in climate change and clean water activism as I have family and friends who both work, and study, in sustainability, as well as environmental and conservationist fields. 

Amariyanna “Mari”  Copney (Little Miss Flint)

I first learned about Mari a few years ago when her story gained notoriety after sending a letter to President Barack Obama about the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. I was blown away not just by her initiative, but also by the fact that she was only 8 years old at the time. Once the story of Flint gained national attention, she went on to continue her activism and fundraising in hopes of one day having safe drinking water in her hometown. 

Autumn Peltier 

Autumn in a 17 year old Anishinaabe indigenous rights advocate from the Wiikwemkoong First Nation in Ontario, Canada. At the age of 13, Autumn addressed the United Nations General Assembly world leaders on the importance of water protection. Soon after, she was named Chief Water Commissioner by the Aniishnabek Nation. Attending water ceremonies since the age of 8, she became aware of the pollution within the sacred bodies of water the First Nations use. Water is sacred to the First Nations which pushed Autumn to campaign for safer water conditions for all indigenous peoples. I find her very inspiring for the work that she does. She is fighting for her people to have access to clean water and saving the environment, which I believe we can all admire.

Autumn Peltier: Meet the ‘water protector’ of Canada’s First Nations

Peltier, who grew up in Wiikwemkoong First Nation on Ontario’s Manitoulin Island, first became aware of the need for water advocacy at just eight years old. When visiting a neighboring indigenous community, she discovered that they were unable to drink their tap water due to pollution. That kickstarted her career as an activist. “I believe that no matter what race or color, (or) how rich poor we…

this ones for the girls

the water warriors fighting for access to clean water for all

the teenagers imprisoned for fighting back against oppressive regimes 

those fighting for access to education for all

for the future of the planet 

for gender equality 

for safety and protection from gun violence

for governmental representation and engagement for youths 

for the rights of immigrants 

for syria and the rights of refugees 

for literacy and the representation of WOC in books

for trans and queer rights 

for protection of girls against forced marriage and child slavery

i hope that one day we live in a world where children are allowed to just be children, where they dont have to fight tooth and nail for their rights and their futures, but i could not be prouder of this generation
