CV S5 Ep 11: The Power of the Dead

C2C is located on the lands of the Coast Salish people. Today and everyday we honor the struggle of Indigenous peoples against colonialism and systemic racism. We stand in solidarity with those who demand justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women. We must also include Black Indigenous, African Indigenous, and Indigenous people from all over the world. Here in our counties, as in many other places, the majority of farmworkers are indigenous to the southern lands, migrating to survive colonialism.
In this episode of Community Voz, Rosalinda Guillen, Henry Bennett, Brenda Bentley, and Liz Darrow discuss ancestry, accountability, and the white supremacist structures that continue to exclude indigenous people and black and brown people from participation.
