Water Experience

Hailey Krolyk was born and raised in Kenora, Ontario, in Treaty #3. She studied Political Economy at the University of Manitoba and community development at Trent University. Hailey now works at Grand Council Treaty #3 as a Policy Analyst, focusing on Anishinaabe Inakonigaawin. She has been developing a Manito Aki Inakonigaawin toolkit, which shares the key principles that guide us in decision-making in the Treaty #3 Territory, helps to further our understandings of our responsibilities to the land and provides guidance for government, communities, leadership and proponents upon entering the Treaty #3 territory. She is the project lead on the Manito Aki Inakonigaawin and Nibi Declaration Pathways forward project, which focuses on interviewing Elders/Knowledge keepers in regards to both laws to understand where they want the laws going in the future, while acknowledging past history and barriers.
