Children and adults took turns pouring the jars and bottles into the late Saturday morning as part of an offering ceremony for the lake on Antelope Island.
ANTELOPE ISLAND STATE PARK — The offerings of water were carried lovingly to the Great Salt Lake's shore in a mismatched array of bottles and jars.
"We won't make much of a difference by pouring a few jars of water into this lake," environmental advocate Emily Ostler said. "What is important is the relationship they represent. Relationship is what will save this lake. We act on behalf of what we are brave enough to love." Shoshone leader and historian Darren Parry performs a blessing for the Great Salt Lake on Saturday at Antelope Island.
The value of Indigenous teachings, both from communities native to Utah and beyond, was a recurring theme throughout the ceremony. Indigenous activist and dancer Carl Moore stressed that everyone is indigenous to somewhere and that reconnecting with those roots puts environmental issues like the Great Salt Lake's demise into perspective.
