Seventeen-year-old Canadian indigenous rights activist and clean water advocate Autumn Peltier is empowering young people around the world to protect the environment.
Peltier, who grew up in Wiikwemkoong First Nation on Ontario's Manitoulin Island, first became aware of the need for water advocacy at just eight years old. When visiting a neighboring indigenous community, she discovered that they were unable to drink their tap water due to pollution. That kickstarted her career as an activist.
