Miguel Santistevan: The Wealth of Water , Protecting our Water , Locally and Globally

The Wealth of Water:  Short Term Gains vs. Long Term Opportunity presented by Miguel Santistevan who is a native of Taos, New Mexico.
Miguel's work has lead him to become a seed saving activist, farmer, mentor, educator, and ethonobotonist.  He is an active acequia parciante and past Mayordomo, as well as a board member for the Taos Valley Aceuqia Association.  Water is life in Miguel Santistevan's world.

With every aspect of sustainability at odds as a result of corporate development, Miguel is speaking out on what it means to protect the water here in Mora County, New Mexico, the United States, and around the world.

Come listen. Bring your children.  Miguel will present at 4:00 PM to the children.  His experience teaching children about the land, planting, water, and a respect for all, will be a rare and delightful opportunity for your children to receive a gift that spans the many generations of knowledge through Miguel and his ancestors.

Miguel will again present at 5:00 PM and then free tamales and refreshments at 6:30 followed by the showing of the documentary, "GasLand" by Josh Fox, director and producer.
