If you draw a line on a map from Moab and head south, you’ll soon hit Sonora, Mexico. There, the Indigenous Comcaac Nation has long struggled for access to clean water. Members of the nation recently walked miles to a sacred site, demanding the Mexican government provide them with basic services. Plus, the arrival of spring is marked by warming temperatures, budding trees, and – migrating birds.
