• Water is an essential part of life and viable sources of clean and drinkable water is a challenge for many people across the planet. Unfortunately, this challenge exists for many First Nation communities across Canada as seen by a series of reports and investigations that have appeared over the last 30 years across the nation. This research examines how members of two Dene First Nation Communities in Northern Canada perceive the degree of
  safety and security of their sources of drinking water, both within their homes and natural water sources.
