Abstract
During her tenure as Trent University's Canada Research Chair, Marrie Mumford created the Indigenous Performance Studies program and redefined her research goals as “Naadmaagewin … The Art of Working Together in Our Communities.” Anishinaabeg grandmothers in the United States who participate in the Mother Earth Water Walks around the Great Lakes requested the creation of a work about water. The journey began in 2011 at Trent, with Rulan Tangen working with student investigations that led to the creation and production of a work-in-progress. This new work developed into a site-specific work in 2012 and intergenerational workshops that resulted in the creation of a major new work that has since been performed in Santa Fe, New York City, and New Zealand. This article charts the journey of this original work on behalf of the act of clean water.
