Welcome back! This week's article in focus is brought to us by Samara Almonte and is an essay On preserving Indigenous identity and cultural survival within diasporic realities.
Samara Almonte is part of the Michoacan diaspora, raised between the lakes and tierra caliente regions of Michoacan and occupied Coast Salish territory or the Pacific Northwest Coast. Samara identifies as a P’urhepecha descendant reconnecting with her ancestors, which has greatly influenced her work as storyteller and urban planner. She grounds her work in a decolonial framework that uplifts Indigenous self-determination. Samara holds a B.A in Urban Planning and Sustainability Development, with a specialization in Environmental Justice and Education, from Western Washington University. Outside of her professional life, Samara is the creator and host of the podcast Raíces Verdes (Green Roots), a platform dedicated to validating, archiving and sharing the experiences of racialized peoples reconnecting with their “green roots”. Green roots are defined as our ancestral connection to the earth that embodies our relationships with all living and spiritual beings. To learn more about the podcast visit nuestrasraicesverdes.com.
