About “Water Ceremony” Community Mural

Inspired by the Aztec Goddess of Terrestrial Waters, Chalchiutlicue, David Ocelotl Garcia will lead us through the co-creation of a large-scale mural in collaboration with the River Sisters Circle. “Water Ceremony” is a recognition that environmental stewardship has been practiced by our Indigenous communities for hundreds, if not thousands of years. It is in our native heritages to care for the environment and Mother Earth.

About River Sister's Circle

The Rivers Sisters Circle is a bi-national agreement between the peoples of Denver and San Luis Colorado in Sonora, Mexico. Our objective is to create healthy rivers and landscapes where Denver residents and visitors can gather for stewardship, recreation, learning, healing, and community building, while acknowledging and immortalizing the presence and achievements of Indigenous, Mexican, and Chicano peoples from this region. 

A Heartfelt thank you to our partners and sponsors: River Sisters Circle, DEDO, West Colfax BID and the Sun Valley Kitchen.
