  • July 24: Community Build Day & Navajo Taco Sale for a Healing Pioneer Day, 9:30a-3pm at 1459 S. 1000 W., SLC. Event by Carry the Water: "All ages & Relatives welcome. Show up anytime. Navajo Taco Sale provided by @MMIWhoismissing. *All proceeds to Carry the Water Garden. Carry the Water, an Indigenous Healing Garden is sovereignly funded & seeded through community kinship and support. We must tell the truth about what Pioneer Day represents. Rather than a day of celebration, Pioneer Day should be a day of mourning and repair. We can’t simply reframe the day as 'Pie and Beer Day.' One way white settlers can begin engaging in repair is by redistributing wealth to the Urban Indigenous Community of Salt Lake in support of Carry The Water, an Indigenous Community Healing Garden that sustains concepts of healing through water and connecting with the land. Carry the Water Garden is located on the lands of the Ute, Paiute, Goshute and Shoshone Peoples. Funds will go to buy needed supplies and equipment for the garden, as well as sustain local Indigenous and POC garden tenders.
