The Sandia Mountains east of the city of Albuquerque in New Mexico

I recently participated in the Water Equity and Climate Resilience Caucus annual convening in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I visited the Zuni Reseveration, also known as the Pueblo of Zuni and learned of water systems and cultural traditions connected to water. I also worked with Caucus on strategy centering movement work, narrative change, and federal policy around water equity A few takeaways for me are the impacts of uranium mining on deinking water contamination among Native populations, especially the Navajo Nation; as well as water quanity issues in west. There were some rivers that had dried up, but were still sacred sites.
