What the River Knows - Glen Canyon Documentary at the Durango Arts Center

Glen Canyon Institute, in collaboration with Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, presents "What the River Knows" a Glen Canyon documentary, at the Durango Arts Center at 7PM on Saturday, March 14th.
Durangoarts.org has tickets and details.

a Good Intentions Paving Co. documentary exploring the reemergence of Glen Canyon from the receding waters of Lake Powell reservoir. As the West faces the urgent need to redesign water management, we are offered the chance to restore one of the planet’s most stunning landscapes. What the River Knows explores this unique reflection point in a centuries-long history, weaving together past and present to reveal a new way forward for the Colorado River.

The evening will open with Glen Canyon Rises, a documentary short from Crow Canyon Archeological Center featuring Hopi archaeologist Lyle Balenquah and author Craig Childs. This powerful visual and narrative experience reveals layers of human history embedded in the landscape. As water levels fall, generations of cultural footprints are revealed, and dormant ecological systems begin to stir once more.

Following the film screening, the event will conclude with a panel discussion featuring:
- Lorelei Cloud (three-term Southern Ute Tribal Council leader, Colorado Water Conservation Board member, co-founder of The Indigenous Women’s Leadership Network)
- Teal Lehto (water rights activist, river conservation content creator @we)
- Daryl Vigil (Co-Director of the Water & Tribes Initiative
