REGISTER \n\nWater is fundamental to all life on Earth. Protecting water is essential for ecosystem restoration\, biodiversity\, food justice and calming the climate crisis. As we seek to build frameworks for regenerative systems\, Indigenous peoples—who already safeguard water and hold ancestral knowledge and cultural practices necessary to support that work—deserve a place at the center. \n\nJoin the Center for Earth Ethics on Thursday\, October 7\, at noon Eastern Time\, for a webinar\, “Indigenous Water Ethics: A Traditional Dialogue.” Mona Polacca\, senior fellow for CEE’s Original Caretakers Program\, has assembled representatives of different Indigenous cultures to present their diverse perspectives and lived experiences stabilizing\, protecting and creating resiliency for their communities’ water sources. \nREGISTER\n\nConvener:\nMona Polacca is the senior fellow for the Original Caretakers Program at the Center for Earth Ethics.

In December 2008\, Mona had the distinguished honor of being the representative of the Indigenous Peoples on a panel of world religious leaders.

Rāwiri serves on a number of governance and advisory boards\, and has several interests\, including Māori community development\, performing arts\, education and Māori business and economic development. In his spare time\, he likes to spend time in and on the Whanganui River. \n  \n  \n \nAustin Nunez is the Chairman of the Wa:k – San Xavier District of the Tohono O’odham Nation located in the arid Sonoran Desert region of southwestern Arizona\, with a population of 2\,300. He will present a case-study about a 23-year legal challenge to regain his tribe’s inherent water rights. “Our once flowing river and underground water sources for the land base of our 27\,000-acre reservation were compromised due to the over pumping of our aquifer by the non-Indigenous settlers as they started to drill ground water wells beginning in the late 1800’s. The challenge started in 1975\, in the end\, an out of court settlement was reached granting us 50\,000 acre feet per year of Colorado River water\, via an approximately 300-mile pipeline\, and 10\,000 acre feet of natural groundwater per year and were awarded a cash settlement to rehabilitate our farm. Our story needs to be told to provide lessons learned\, and to instill hope in other similarly situated indigenous communities throughout the world.” \n  \n \nGaeñ hia uh\, Betty Lyons (Onondaga Nation\, Snipe Clan)\, executive director of the American Indian Law Alliance (AILA)\, is an Indigenous and environmental activist and citizen of the Onondaga Nation.

REGISTER \n\nWater is fundamental to all life on Earth. Protecting water is essential for ecosystem restoration\, biodiversity\, food justice and calming the climate crisis. As we seek to build frameworks for regenerative systems\, Indigenous peoples—who already safeguard water and hold ancestral knowledge and cultural practices necessary to support that work—deserve a place at the center. \n\nJoin the Center for Earth Ethics on Thursday\, October 7\, at noon Eastern Time\, for a webinar\, “Indigenous Water Ethics: A Traditional Dialogue.” Mona Polacca\, senior fellow for CEE’s Original Caretakers Program\, has assembled representatives of different Indigenous cultures to present their diverse perspectives and lived experiences stabilizing\, protecting and creating resiliency for their communities’ water sources. \nREGISTER\n\nConvener:\nMona Polacca is the senior fellow for the Original Caretakers Program at the Center for Earth Ethics.
