Water sustains life and has a significant role in our state’s history. The myths and stories of Arizona’s Indigenous tribes are rich with references to streams and rivers.

​

Immigrants trod and floated the state’s waterways, enduring great peril. Government surveyors explored and mapped our river systems. To control flooding and serve agriculture, huge dams eventually changed the rivers’ flows, creating vast reservoirs.

 

This program will share some of these great adventures and the music and stories that accompany them.
