The River: Straddling the border between the US and Canada, the Skagit Watershed is a haven for sea creatures– the only river in the lower 48 states where all five species of Pacific salmon spawn year after year. The “Magic Skagit” is in peril: the ways of life it has sustained for the communities along its shores are faltering under years of settler disruption, and upstream, its headwaters originate in a pool of unprotected land threatened by extractive industries. Still, there’s hope in numbers: a cross-border coalition of federal, Tribal, and political leadership on all levels, dedicated to saving the Skagit River. “You must have cleaned a lot of fish.” I say. // “I think we cleaned out all of Puget Sound…” Won’t be long before all the fish are gone, then the cannery will go, and all we’ll have is hunger and sorrow.” Welcome to season two of As She Rises. In this episode, we visit the land currently known as Washington. Poet laureate and Lummi Nation member Rena Priest reads her

8. “Olas y arenas” — las playas son del pueblo: Las hermosas playas de Puerto Rico son una parte integral de la vida puertorriqueña. Las costas forman un anillo de placer que rodea toda la isla, una válvula de escape. Y son uno de los pocos espacios que son verdaderamente públicos. Al menos, eso es lo que dice la ley. En la práctica, sin embargo, esa franja de tierra donde el agua se encuentra con la orilla es la zona más disputada de todo Puerto Rico. Y está desapareciendo rápidamente debido al desarrollo y la erosión costera. En "Olas y arenas", Sylvia Rexach desempeña el papel de la arena: ella le canta con nostalgia al flujo y el reflujo del mar, anhelando por las olas que nunca llegan a tocarla. Este bolero clásico es una canción de amor no correspondido, y nuestro último episodio de la temporada tiene lugar en esa misma eterna marea.

8. “Olas y Arenas” — The Beaches Belong to the People: Puerto Rico’s beautiful beaches are an integral part of Puerto Rican life. They form a ring of pleasure that encircles the whole island — an escape valve. And they’re one of the few places that are truly public. At least, that’s what the law says. Yet in practice, that stretch of land where the water meets the shore is the most contested space in all of Puerto Rico. And it’s rapidly disappearing, due to development and coastal erosion. In “Olas y Arenas,” Sylvia Rexach plays the role of the sand: she sings longingly for the ebb and flow of the sea, yearning for the waves that never quite reach her. The bolero is a classic unrequited love song, and our final episode of the season takes place in that same eternal tide. We explore the push and pull between lifelong residents and real estate developers, amidst the rapidly changing coastline, the rising tide, and the elusive letter of the law.
