Water is Life For Us In Neskantaga." - Maggie Sakanee
The unsafe water crisis in The Neskantaga Community, forced estimated 240 residents out of their homes and into hotels. Hotels. There is about 230 kids in my school. I could not imagine all of us being forced into hotels due to water quality. Pets, dogs, had to be left behind. The children of Neskantaga attend a school in the ballroom of the hotel, until they can return to their homes.
This is Maggie Sakanee's story on living in the hotel, produced by Landowne House on Youtube.
