Desde los cyphers callejeros y las batallas de rap en la Rez (Reserva) hasta la construcción de comunidad intercultural en continentes lejanos, Christopher Mike-Bidtah (Diné) —también conocido como Def-I— ha forjado una carrera al abordar su oficio como una práctica cultural viva, moldeada por el lugar, la lengua y la memoria.

Cultural Survival's community includes people from all walks of life, with beautiful stories to tell of your own about why you decided to become an advocate for Indigenous Peoples' rights. Sharing these stories further connects our community, provides much-needed solidarity and validation to our staff and partners on the ground, and helps us inspire others to join our movement. We are excited to spotlight members and former interns of our community and highlight your contributions and perspectives through our Cultural Survival Spotlight series.
