The purpose of this study is to speak with First Nation community members across Ontario to
assess how they’ve been impacted by water insecurity and to share their perspectives on potential
solutions and recommendations. While several reports and studies have been conducted over the
past two decades by both levels of government, Indigenous and non-Indigenous organizations and
individuals, little progress has been made toward achieving water security for First Nations. The
research question for this thesis is what are Indigenous peoples saying about solutions to their
water insecurity challenges?
