What’s Origami?

Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, is a cherished tradition, which offers a unique way to educate and inspire others. By coming together to fold origami fish we’re combining creativity with purpose, highlighting our commitment to protecting the water.

Anishinaabek / Ojibwe peoples in the Great Lakes region emphasize the sacredness of water as a living entity, requiring mindful stewardship and reciprocity. As we fold these fish, we set out to raise awareness for the safety and health of the waters of the Great Lakes and to ensure protection from further pollution or violations of tribal treaty rights by pipeline infrastructure like Line 5 now and for generations to come.
