This song was written by Doreen Day at the request of her grandson, Mashkoonce. Doreen and Mashkoonce give written permission (via the website Nibi Song) for everyone to share this song... sing it to the water every day. Verbal permission to use this song in Minnesota classrooms was obtained by Lyz Jaakola.

This is the story of the Nibi (Water) Song, as told by Beatrice Menase Kwe Jackson, Migizi Clan.

Water, we love you. We thank you. We respect you.
