You know something's wrong when a child speaks up. That's how Autumn Peltier, a teen from Wiikwemkoong First Nation in Ontario, framed her fight for clean drinking water in Canada's Indigenous communities. The teen, who's originally from Manitoulin Island but currently living in Ottawa, told CBC Kids News she'd rather spend her free time doing normal kid stuff. Instead, she's making speeches on the international stage about the fact that some Canadians don't have access to clean water. Watch Autumn tell her story in her own words.
