The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t... Rainwater harvesting is key for creating resilient communities in the face of climate change. Indigenous people have been practicing rainwater harvesting techniques that replenish aquifers, bring back springs, build soil, reduce flooding & pollution, and create abundance for all beings. Navajo Water Specialist and Permaculture Designer Carmen Gonzales will weave an inspiring story of water abundance and possibility for Las Vegas and beyond. Carmen Gonzales is an environmental specialist, water maiden, permaculture designer, poet, and musician who has been dedicated to helping communities develop resilience by remembering our sacred relationship with water. Carmen has worked in the Environmental Science field for over 20 years serving Tribes and rural communities and is inspired by the hope of watershed restoration through the lens of indigenous wisdom. Always an “edge walker,” Carmen has been working to find the balance between good science, traditional ecological knowledge, personal healing, and cultural evolution. Carmen is driven by the vision of supporting the work of revitalizing watersheds and communities through strengthening relationships that nourish land and life to serve as a model for change that can ripple out and benefit all beings everywhere. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
