About this Event
Paya: The Water Story of the Paiute, an eye-opening documentary about America’s longest-running water conflict between the Owens Valley Paiute-Shoshone and Los Angeles. Through powerful interviews, 2D animation, and archival footage, Paya reveals how the Indigenous People sustained an intricate irrigation system for millennia, only to have it disrupted by settlers and the Los Angeles Aqueduct. This film highlights the resilience and efforts of the Original People to reclaim their water rights.
Join the Owens Valley Indian Water Commission for a film screening and panel discussion to explore the enduring fight for water rights and environmental justice in America’s longest-running water conflict.
