Chapter 30.04 Permit Systems "Access to fresh, clean water is one of our most basic human rights granted to us from the Creator, and is an 'inherent' right handed down to us throughout the generations from our Anishinabe ancestors from time immemorial. These inherent rights woven throughout the fabric of Anishinabe culture and life ways, and, told to us through our oral history and legends, our songs and our art are what make us a 'Tribe'. These gifts were acknowledged by our people long before the Europeans came to Turtle Island, and long before we were forced into giving up our traditional homelands under duress, and into making treaties, now considered to be the Supreme Law of the Land. We have a duty, a responsibility to protect this sacred connection to Water, not only for ourselves, but for our future generations to come. Our survival as a Tribe depends on conserving and protecting our Water."
