Praying for the Water with Saundi McClain-Kloeckner
Saundi is a Black and Indigenous woman who has committed herself to making prayers at the Mississippi River in the way of many Native women throughout the US. She is part of a movement made visible most recently by the Standing Rock Water Protectors, and maintained by Native women up and down the Mississippi and other rivers.

The verse that is most resonant to this special podcast series centering the Mississippi River:
“the water and the land
And the water knows no borders
When you’ve had all you can stand
You don’t have to stand in line
The rich might eat the poor
And leave everything to waste
But my brothers and sisters
Are idle no more”
