Summary:
Nibi has been playing and is very thirsty! She comes home to drink some water only to find that the water coming out from the tap is not clean! The water is dirty with lots of germs and dirt. Nibi goes to different neighbourhoods to see if she can find some clean water. She finds that in some neighbourhood with big houses some people share water bottles with her but she wonders why they have clean water and she does not. Nibi takes this opportunity to raise awareness about issues of clean water in many Indigenous communities like her own. She makes signs that say "Clean Water" and "Water is life, I am thirsty". Soon lots of people from different communities come together and raise awareness about this important issue and work to make a difference.
