Lo-Tek Water is available for pre-order. The sequel to Julia Watson’s book Radical Indigenism, this book focuses on indigenous technologies for managing water resources.

Go to the Lo-Tek Institute website for more information on their books, collaborators, and their curriculum for schools to provide hands on learning about the ancient technologies that have the potential to inform a climate resilient path forward. #Lotekinstitute
