Water is Life

(Series of 5 circles and 5 ovals)


Water is Life

Water is Sacred

Our people have many many names for water, we understand its complexity and its sovereignty.

Across the ocean in the east from here, in Aotearoa the government was the first in the world to grant legal personhood to the Whanganui River. The River Ganges and its longest tributary, the Yamuna in India’s northern Uttarakhand along with the Rio Atrato in Colombia are also granted human rights.

Water is fast becoming at risk of becoming a commodity over which property rights are increasingly exercised and traded in the same way that natural resources such as gold and oil are traded on the global stock exchange.

Water is Life, not a commodity.
