Elder Billie Schibler helps deepen the NWMO’s understanding of protecting water and the environment – NWMO
The Council of Elders and Youth is an integral part of the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s (NWMO) Reconciliation journey, ensuring our work aligns with our values of integrity, collaboration and that our work is contributing to Reconciliation through meaningful actions. Their insights help the NWMO better connect with the people, communities we work with and the environment.
We are honoured to learn from such prominent Knowledge keepers. Elder Billie Schibler has been a member of the Council of Elders since 2012. She has spent her life working to protect children, youth, and the environment, with a special focus on water.
Elder Schibler, also known by her spirit name Purple Harvest Woman, is a Manitoba Métis woman who is from the Crane Clan and follows the Traditional Teaching and Knowledge from her ancestors. She has been a Sun Dancer and Knowledge Keeper for more than 30 years.
