The land is sacred to the people. The people are sacred to the land.

As Water Protectors gather to defend the water and protect the land against a black snake that threatens the rivers that millions of people depend on, a young girl looks to her Unci LaDonna and Lala Miles who are leading the way to the camp.

Although she's nervous about what might happen next, she finds strength from her family and the strangers all coming together to stand up for what's right.

Written with love by Rae Rose, who shares many memories with LaDonna, this is a deeply moving tribute to LaDonna's work and impact with stunning watercolor illustrations by Aly McKnight.
