06 | Water as a Bridge

In honor of the stories shared during our 2020 to 2021 tour, and in anticipation of new journeys to come, The Watershed will be presenting a series of six episodes drawing upon generous storytellers from Morris, Mankato, St. Paul, Rochester, Chisholm, and Pipestone, Minnesota. Throughout these episodes, we'll recognize the multifaceted ways we can understand water, deepening our relationship and perhaps shifting the way we interact with water in the process.

Today, our storytellers share about how water can be a bridge - how restoring our connections with water can also bring us in closer relation to each other.

Explore these prompts for further reflection and discussion.

We are Water MN is led by the Minnesota Humanities Center in partnership with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency; the Minnesota Historical Society; the Minnesota Departments of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources; and University of Minnesota Extension, with support from the Clean Water, Land & Legacy Amendment and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

You can visit We Are Water MN January 20 through Feb 28, 2022 at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul, where we are showcasing the history and successes of the program.
