A person in a grey hoodie and glasses comes into view, messing with and brushing their hair as white text appears above them.

“As of February of this year-“ (last year, 2020), “61 reserves across Canada dont have access to clean water, or are on boil advisories.“

“Neskantaga First Nation in northwestern Ontario has been on boil water advisory for 25 years. And recently had to but 300 band members in a hotel in Thunder Bay over the holidays during a pandemic. Due to the governments neglect of their crisis.”

The person starts taking three strands of their hair and braided it.

“My reserve, Chapleau Cree Dirst Nation has been living off bottled water for years and i cannot remember the last time i was able to drink from the tap on the rez. But if you drive 5 minutes to the nearby town, their waters fine.”

They start braiding the right side.

“This is a reality hundreds of Indigenous people in Canada still have to face.”

Screen switches to the Tik Toker’s name and username, Lauryn / @rezdog99
