A safe, sustainable water source is an essential element of any healthy community. For over three decades the Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas has had limited success in achieving water security on their reservation. Water quality concerns coupled with climate change and recent droughts in the region have continued to expose the Tribe's vulnerabilities to environmental change. The present study used a community-based participatory research method known as Photovoice to engage members of the Kickapoo Tribe in an exploratory investigation of environmental changes in water and its relationship to health and well-being. Participants of the study were self-identified Kickapoo people who worked, lived, or participated in social activities on the reservation. Using Photovoice participants documented the significance of water, and its relationship to their community's health and well-being. The photographs and accompanying narratives aimed to support the Kickapoo people in telling their story of how environmental changes in water influence their interactions with water, and the potential implications it has for the health and well-being of their Tribe. The findings detail how water is fundamental to the lives of the Kickapoo people, and exposes the scope of possible health hazards related to water insecurity in their community. Additionally, the study illustrates how CBPR methods are a viable way to partner with tribes to support them in documenting their concerns about environmental issues that can then inform practice and policy within a culturally relevant context.
