Subway Cave Lava Tubes

“I grew up wondering if I should feel ashamed of my history because it was never in history books. . .”

…it was never prioritized to tell my peoples’ side of the stories that shaped the current reality of everything we know here. It’s like history is not alive in schools, but it is alive in me, it is alive in my community. I thank the ones before me for instilling that in me and never letting me forget it.”

~ Turquoise Chenoa Velarde, from the book Project 562 by Matika Wilbur
