Sampson is both the head of the climate change program from the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI), and a traditional chief of the Walla Walla Tribe of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (Seattle Times). Don Sampson says “we are water protectors” to tribes opposed to the movement protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
The phrase “we are water protectors” may sound familiar. A popular blog, Book Riot, lists the book under “Ten Picture Books for the Budding Environmentalists”, and Lindstrom’s book is also featured on CBC, The New York Times, and Publisher’s Weekly.
This book has not gone unnoticed by book bloggers. Lindstrom also published the children’s book Girls Dance, Boys Fiddle in 2013. She identifies as Anishinaabe (also known as Nishnaabe or Anishinabe)/Metis and is tribally enrolled with the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe (). The author, Carole Lindstrom, writes the books from passion and experience. It is a book full of vibrant, eye-catching images and powerful prose to match.
