How Water Connects Us
These images were taken through the lens of a panawáhpskewi (Penobscot). Water connects all of the images near and far either by water itself or the craft utilized to travel by water. There are also images where indigenous communities live by the water. These images reveal items used to provide sustenance and places important to indigenous people. We share these places with all of creation. Welcome to a new dawn. ksìpa (so you see)
