With support from rural communities and their libraries the We are Water project creates a place to meet and share stories about water, and explore and learn about water in the Four Corners Region of the Southwestern U.S. The Four Corners stretches across Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah and communities in the region experience prolonged drought and low and inconsistent rainfall.
Because We are Water puts community perspectives at the center of educational experiences, we’ve recorded perspectives and multiple ways of knowing about water from rural, Latinx, and Indigenous communities. Through listening we build relationships, broaden our understanding, appreciate multiple perspectives, and respect the community knowledge about water in the region. In these stories people across the Four Corners share what water means to them, their families, and their communities. These stories have inspired the creation and content of informal STEM programs and a traveling exhibit.
Through We are Water we hope youth, families, and community members will explore their shared watershed and local ecosystems, connect with neighbors through their common and unique experiences with water in the region, share their memories and stories, and come together to imagine a future for water in their communities.
