NCHGS’s Museum and a Movie series showcases independent, international, and historical short films relevant to our museum exhibits and the communities we serve.
April 2023’s feature is Water Flows Together, a 2020 film that elevates the importance of acknowledging Indigenous land in outdoor recreation through the voice of Colleen Cooley, one of the few female Diné (Navajo) river guides on the San Juan River.
In sharing Colleen’s perspective, we are given a glimpse into Native views on issues of water resource management, which are often missing from larger discussions of western water challenges.
The filmmakers would like to acknowledge that this film was produced on the traditional lands of the Diné, Hopi, Ute, and Zuni peoples and honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations.
Water Flows Together is a short documentary and will be shown at 12:00, 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 PM in the John R. Austen Auditorium of the Sigal Museum. Masks are strongly encouraged throughout the museum.
