CONFLUENCE: WEAVING RIVERS AND THEIR GUARDIANS
BIO
Confluence is a project organized by a core team of Weave News and Talking Rivers editors and storytellers. It is a platform for all those who want to listen to the waters that flow by and through them. Together we are honoring the rights of the rivers, streams, lakes, oceans, seas, aquifers, and all the waters that make up this tapestry of life. Water doesn't follow our human laws and schemes, but we have the responsibility to protect their rights, for they deserve a just and equitable relationship with us, humans.

I live in Salt Lake City, which lies between the Wasatch Mountains and Great Salt Lake, on the ancestral lands of the Ute, Goshute, and Shoshone peoples. My ancestors are Mormon settlers who colonized the Salt Lake Valley in the 1800s. Like many here, I became concerned in the last few years about the drying of Great Salt Lake.
