Rosalind Russell
By Rosalind Russell

A 13-year-old girl from Manitoulin Island is receiving kudos in Parliament.

Autumn Peltier is a young activist from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory and is the only Canadian nominee for a prestigious international award.

She was lauded in parliament by Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing, MP Carol Hughes.

Peltier’s nomination for the International Children’s Peace Prize, known as the Nobel Prize for Children, is the product of dedication and a determined effort to protect water resources and the environment says Hughes.

Peltier has addressed the Assembly of First Nations, and spoke with the Prime Minister on behalf of the water she loves.

Hughes told MPs that Autumn speaks for water because water doesn’t have a voice, and that she wants her advocacy to inspire people to come together.
