“La comunicación es mujer, siembra la semilla de la transformación, su raíz es la palabra de la tierra, es la música de lo que llega, es todo lo que percibimos, es la madre tierra que nos habla y que sabe escuchar.” (Integrante de Radio comunitaria Cholollan de Tlaxcalancingo)
By Miryam Vargas Teutle (Nahuatl)
"Communication is like a woman. It sows the seed of transformation. Its root is the word of the Earth. It is music. It is all that we perceive. It is Mother Earth that speaks and listens to us." --Member of Community Radio Cholollan

Located in the state of Sonora, Mexico, the Yaqui Tribe is an Indigenous Nation made up of eight Peoples who share the same territory, language, and culture. Also, a long history of struggle and resistance unites them, first against the colonial government and later against the Mexican State which led to attempts at dispossession and extermination.
Eliseo Ramirez (Zapotec) was 23 years old when he decided he needed to make a concerted effort to help revitalize his Zapotec culture. As an artist and cooperative leader, he keeps his culture alive not only through his business, Khadi Oaxaca—a collective of over 450 local families and artisans weaving intricate designs and creating beautiful works of art but also through weaving workshops where cultural knowledge is passed down from generation to generation.
