Editor,
Not so long ago the first people of this country survived through sharing and cooperation. When times were good, they were good for all; if not, everyone tightened their belts.
It is in this vein that I believe the tribe has put forth the water compact. It is part of their culture, who they are. The amount of thought and work that has gone into this agreement is huge.
Let’s not lose that.
We have been blessed with abundant clean water. If shared wisely, there is enough for all creatures whose existence depends on it and us humans for our industries and health.
In nature, diversity is strength; connections are made, resources are shared, and if one part fails, not all is lost.
We are a diverse community. Let’s use that age-old wisdom of sharing and cooperation and look to the future together and not backwards alone.
