A reflection from our cofounder Mą̄xipį̄

I’ve always felt connected to water… and I know I’m not the only one.

From childhood memories at the river, to healing in moments of grief, to standing with our relatives at Standing Rock… water has always been there. She gives life. She listens. She holds us.

But today, our waters are under threat. Pollution, pipelines, and industry continue to harm our rivers, our relatives, and our people.

Protecting water isn’t just a movement… it’s a responsibility.

We do it through action, through teaching our children, through the choices we make, and through prayer.

Water is not a resource. She is a relative.

On this World Water Day, take time to learn, reflect, and stand for our waters.

Water is sacred. Water is life.
