Join us in the Quad Cities to learn more about issues affecting the health of our water in the region and about Rights of Nature to protect our Water Relatives. There will be a presentation followed by an Indigenous First Foods meal catered by Sewa Yuli and Coya’s Cafe during a poetry reading by Young Lions Roar and live music by The CREW. This is a celebration for the last stop of our caravan tour! The Water Rights Caravan is lead by 9 women and femme folks that will follow the Missouri River south through reservations and cities all the way to the confluence of Mississippi River and then go north into Iowa. Our goal is to bring BIPOC folks that are at the frontlines of the water crisis together to share knowledge about issues folks that face our communities surrounding water health, which affects the health of all living things. At this point of the climate emergency, the rights of our water relatives has never been more important, especially since Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri face some of the worst water quality in the country. We will be stopping in Sioux City, Winnebago Nation, Omaha, Ioway Nation, Kansas City, St. Louis and the Quad Cities.
Hosted in community with Sage Sisters of Solidarity and the Native American Coalition of the Quad Cities.
Funded by the Clean River Advisory Council through the Quad Cities Community Foundation.
