    DWR Podcast:  Why does DWR have a Tribal Liaison?
    California is home to more than 150 Native American Tribes. They share the same basic human needs for water to sustain life, but also hold cultural and spiritual values for water that are less understood beyond their communities. Barbara Cross, our Government and Community Liaison, explains her role in promoting better communication between DWR and California's Tribal governments.
