For the Coahuiltecan people, Texas’ Four Fountain Springs—Barton Springs, San Marcos Springs, Comal Springs, and San Pedro Springs—are more than water sources.
Before colonization, these springs surged skyward, connecting earth and sky in a breathtaking display of nature’s power.
Maria Rocha of the Indigenous Cultures Institute shares how these sacred sites were places of blessings, pilgrimage, and life itself. Protecting them isn’t just about water—it’s about honoring the deep cultural and spiritual ties that have existed for thousands of years.
