Autumn Peltier

Race to Rescue

BIO

Autumn Peltier is an International Indigenous rights and water activist whose advocacy has gained international recognition. She first drew global attention at age 12 after challenging Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on water protection at an Assembly of First Nations event. At 13, she first addressed the United Nations General Assembly and later spoke at the UN Secretary-General’s Climate Action Summit and the World Economic Forum alongside Greta Thunberg. 

Her work continues as an Ambassador and Contributor with the United Nations, and she has been shortlisted for the International Children's Peace Prize three times. In 2022, Autumn was runner-up for the International Children’s Peace Prize.

Autumn has received numerous honours, including the Sovereign Medal for Exceptional Volunteerism and the Community Hero Award from Canada’s Walk of Fame. Her HBO documentary, The Water Walker, premiered in 2019, and her work is currently on display at the Canadian Museum of History. In 2026, Autumn and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights will unveil a new exhibit highlighting her advocacy, and Autumn will also launch The Autumn Peltier Institute.
