Walks of Resilience and Accountability: Payahuunadü

In collaboration with the Owens Valley Indian Water Commission, Walking Water will host a one-day walk in Los Angeles City in April 2025. With these walks, we hold ourselves accountable to learning, listening, and being a good relative, thereby empowering the voices of those fighting injustices. By actively participating, we foster a deeper understanding and commitment to support the communities affected by water appropriation, ensuring their struggles and stories are heard and respected. These walks also aim to explore Los Angeles' path to water independence, the impacts on the Paiute and Tongva peoples, and how we can collectively build a resilient LA and support communities everywhere. May Los Angeles become a model for others in becoming accountable and responding appropriately to this climate emergency for future generations. 

Join us as we walk together to envision a paradigm shift in consciousness to respect our relationship with water. Water is ceremony, relationships, sacredness, health, and life. Water is everything. Walking with water signifies respect, responsibility, and awareness of its importance to all our relations. For us, water is a sacred relative we must protect, respect, and honor. When we walk, our connection with water deepens, and we reaffirm our commitment to these principles and toward a future that honors and supports all communities.
