Te Ahu o Rehua: Cross Cultural Ocean Knowledge Network

The health of our rivers impacts the health of our ocean. Join us for a global gathering of Indigenous voices about the health and healing of our rivers.

By coming together to form an international Indigenous network in support of our rivers, we can create real, systemic change through law, policy, advocacy and practice. A Meeting of Sacred Waters is a virtual, global gathering that helps create connections, build relationships, and spark ideas centered on diverse Indigenous values and perspectives about the health and healing of all rivers.

We invite you to be part of this important conversation! Join our event page to learn how to register: tinyurl.com/AMeetingOfSacredWaters
