42 | What Will You Do For the Water? (Duluth, MN)

Thank you for listening to The Watershed, a podcast of We Are Water MN. In this episode, we hear from Sharon Day, a writer, artist, activist, educator, and leader of water protection efforts including Nibi Walks. Sharon is also an enrolled member of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa.

In this episode, Sharon Day shares water memories and an exploration of themes around caring for and being in relationship with water, plus our responsibility to past and future generations. What will you do for the water?

The We Are Water MN exhibit will be hosted by Hartley Nature Center in Duluth from February 29 through April 22, 2024. After Hartley, it will move to four other communities throughout the state of Minnesota: Holdingford (Stearns County Soil and Water Conservation District in partnership with Art in Motion on the Lake Wobegon Trail), Chisago County, Cass Lake (Leech Lake Tribal College), and Shakopee (Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community).
