The first Tribal Water Media Fellowship is hosting a free, open-to-the-public showcase of original media projects created by Fort Lewis College fellows on Wednesday, Oct. 25 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Fort Lewis College Student Union Ballroom. 

Attendees will learn about regional water issues that affect Indigenous communities, meet the fellows as they present their research and projects, and have light snacks and refreshments. Projects range from film screenings, podcast excerpts, to presentations of written materials, and original creative works by the fellows, in collaboration with local Native American artists. 

No registration is required to attend, if you would like further event details, contact the KSUT Tribal Media Center Coordinator or the Four Corners Water Center for more information. This showcase will also serve as the opening call for applications for next year’s Tribal Water Media Fellowship. 

About the Tribal Water Media Fellowship 

The Tribal Water Media Fellowship is a Walton Family Funded collaboration between the Four Corners Water Center at Fort Lewis College, the KSUT Tribal Media Center, and Rocky Mountain PBS that gives students and recent graduates the opportunity to research, create, and present multimedia projects centering on water, water usage, and Indigenous communities. Additional funding for this first year of the fellowship was provided by the Southwestern Water Conservation District & The Colorado Plateau Foundation.
