About two dozen people attended the Indigenous-led ceremony to honor the sacred waters that Native Americans have used for generations. The event was part of World Water Day, a United Nations-sponsored observation which celebrates water and inspires action to tackle the global water crisis where 2.1 billion people are living without access to safe water.
