The Daugava has been awarded the status of a river of destiny, which testifies to its importance in the life of any member of the Latvian population through the ages. Likewise, the Daugava is of particular significance to the history of Latvia – it has been a witness to wars, changes in political regimes, including the securing and restoration of independence. The Daugava does not differentiate between genders and nationalities; it has its own flow and story. It came before us and will remain after we are gone; it is calm yet restless and shallow yet deep.
