Before you listen to the final week, think about to last week's episode, First in Time, and the water issues facing Native Americans within the Colorado River basin, just last month the Supreme Court ruled against the Navajo Nation and their right to assistance in securing water from the Colorado River. Listen to a short 2-minute news piece by Luke Runyon (who has done the podcast we've been listening to) on the ruling here -

1. What implications does this ruling have for other Native American tribes and their rights to water resources?
2. How does this case highlight the intersection of environmental justice and indigenous rights?

Now onto the final episode of this podcast - For this week, listen to Episode Six: Where the River Ends:

Please consider the following questions to answer once you've finished listening.

1. What do you think are the main challenges in balancing environmental conservation with human demands for water from the Colorado River?
2. How do you think climate change might further impact the Colorado River and efforts to restore it? What steps could be taken to make these ecosystems more resilient to climate change?
3. Aída Navarro from Raise The River emphasizes that we "cannot afford to let a river die". How does this statement reflect on our responsibility towards nature and ecosystems?
