With support from rural communities and their libraries We are Water creates a place to meet and share stories about water, and explore and learn about water together.

We are Water springs from an exciting collaboration between scientists, Indigenous science educators, learning researchers, informal educators and library staff. Designed for communities in the Four Corners Region of the Southwestern U.S., in particular Indigenous and Latinx communities, stories and community voices will be highlighted features and woven throughout the exhibit and programs.

Through experiences with We are Water, communities will explore their shared watershed and local ecosystems, and connect with neighbors through their common and unique experiences with water in the region. We hope individuals, families and communities will share their memories and stories about water, and come together to imagine a future they want for their communities.

We are Water is funded by the National Science Foundation Advancing Informal STEM Learning Program, Award #1907024.
