EP 3: Conversation w/ AICC & AICD (SCP Series #2)

The Sanctuary City Project podcast series has so far explored Sergio de la Torre’s work, The Sanctuary City Project, in collaboration with Galería at 2205 Mission Street by discussing the concept of sanctuary, archiving first hand experiences through art and practice, and looking at migration through a non homogenous lens. In this second installation of the series we will be speaking to two guests that are leading the way in honoring the history, culture and contribution of the American Indian community in the Mission District of San Francisco. There are constant reminders that colonization is ongoing and continues to adversely affect Indigenous people of the Bay Area. The inequities and erasure have led to organizing efforts in the San Francisco community to establish “a recognized home base for the American Indian community”, one that “ensures that American Indian history and contributions will not be forgotten or overwritten.” Speaking on these efforts on establishing sanctuary for the American Indian community, the importance of solidarity, and maintaining cultural practices are the Executive Director of the American Indian Cultural District, Sharaya Souza, and the Executive Director of the American Indian Cultural Center, April McGill.

Hasta ahora, el podcast Sanctuary City Project Series ha explorado el trabajo de Sergio de la Torre, llamado The Sanctuary City Project, en colaboración con Galería en el edificio 2205 Mission Street. Hemos discutido el concepto de santuario, la importancia de archivar experiencias de primera mano a través del arte, y el significado de entender la migración a través de un lente no homogéneo. En esta segunda instalación de la serie, hablaremos con dos invitadas que luchan por honrar y reclamar la historia, la cultura y la contribución de la comunidad Indígena Americana en el Distrito de la Misión de San Francisco. Tenemos constantes recordatorios que la colonización sigue en curso y continúa afectando negativamente a los pueblos indígenas, incluyendo aqui en el Área de la Bahía. Las desigualdades y la historia borrada han llevado a organizar esfuerzos en la comunidad de San Francisco para establecer "una base de operaciones reconocida para la comunidad indígena americana", una que "garantice que la historia y las contribuciones de los pueblos indígenas americanos no serán olvidadas o sobrescritas". Nos acompañan la Directora Ejecutiva del Distrito Cultural Indígena Americano, Sharaya Souza, y la Directora Ejecutiva del Centro Cultural Indígena Americano, April McGill. Ellas hablaran sobre sus esfuerzos para establecer un santuario para la comunidad y pueblos indígena americana, la importancia de la solidaridad comunitaria y su esfuerzo para protejer y mantener prácticas culturales de sus pueblos.
