Join us for a conversation about the health and healing of our ancestral waters.
This year’s gathering will be held on the traditional homelands of Isleta Pueblo. We acknowledge the sacred waters and lands throughout the Rio Grande River Basin an all Indigenous Peoples with ancestral ties to the basin on both sides of the U.S. and Mexico border.
A Meeting of Sacred Waters aims to create connections, build relationships and ignite new ideas for healing our ancestral waters. We will:
- Highlight the interconnectedness between the wellbeing of humanity and the environment.
- Share examples of Indigenous-led guardianship, stewardship and management practices.
- Provide a space to engage, exchange and explore new ideas based on Indigenous knowledge systems.
- Explore pathways to heal our ancestral waters through Indigenous-led systems change.
We welcome all those who envision a sustainable future, including leaders and representatives from Indigenous Nations and communities; Non-Governmental Organizations; local, state, regional, national and international governments; universities and research institutions; businesses and social enterprises; students; and others.
