People
Many water protectors are women. In many Native American and FNIM cultures, women are seen to have a strong connection to water, the moon, and the cycles of the tide as they are able to become pregnant and give birth. '''In Anishinaabe culture women perform ceremonies to honour water and water is considered to be alive and have a spirit. '''

The water walks begun by Josephine Mandamin in the Great Lakes region continue to take place, and have spread worldwide, in an ongoing effort to raise visibility.

Well-known water protectors include: Autumn Peltier (of the Wikwemikong First Nation);   Peltier's aunt Josephine Mandamin, Marjorie Flowers, Inuk, Nunatsiavut, Labrador.
