Museum Events

Mark Oliver created his film, Where Is Our Water From, in 2013.

The film is the story of the Mt. Shasta’s most precious resource and is filled with interviews of local scientists, healers, Native Americans, artists, conservationists, ranchers, activists, ecologists, and sportsmen. The film can be appreciated as a powerful, cautionary tale on the need for any community to carefully steward this priceless, life-giving resource, but it is also a stirring record of a community’s love, reverence and care for Mt. Shasta’s water.

So, what has changed about our water since Mark made this film?

Rediscover the beauty and knowledge presented within the film and hear Mark talk about the current state of our waters in light of his observations made over a decade ago.

Debris flows are a serious threat on and around Mount Shasta. They have coursed down major drainages, including Mud Creek and Cascade Gulch, numerous times during the past 150 years.
