RISING SEA
Salish Sea: Tribal Journey
As the earth warms the Glaciers in Antarctica and in
Greenland are melting at a faster rate than anyone can imagine. It has had
devastating effects on earth and on coastal cities. During last October’s
devastating hurricane Sandy, shorelines were wiped out in New Jersey and New
York. The underlying message is that the warmer the earth gets the more storms
we will get. The dangers of a rising sea are close at hand.
Today an all new SAMAQAN Water stories launches its third season.
When we began production in 2009 people were talking about water as if we were just
discovering its value. Our goal was to honor our connections to water and to
bring about an appreciation for the things we take for granted. Like the questions that Josephine Mandamin asked during her Water Journey: What are you doing for water? Some answers are right in
front of you in many cases.
