We have survived over two centuries of genocide and colonization during the Spanish, Mexican and American eras. Today, we continue to inhabit our ancestral homeland, fight for our sacred sites and revitalize our cultural practices.
“All of these things that the United States tries to do
to squash [pletten] us have not worked.
It’s failed.
We still know who we are.
We still know how to pray in our own way.
We still know where our sacred sites are.
And we know how to bring back our language.”
Corrina Gould, Spokesperson
of the Confederated Villages of Lisjan
