We Are Water and Why Treaties Matter are traveling exhibits from the MN Humanities Center that are intended as a space for people of all ages and experiences to connect and learn through our shared connection to water.  The exhibits in Morris will feature a variety of indigenous perspectives on water, an art contest, interviews with farmers on their relationships with water, information for rural landowners to get their water tested and more.
