From Voices Staff – ¡Feliz Día de los Muertos! Día de los Muertos (also known as el Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead) is a time when families get together to remember loved ones who have passed on. Learn more about this holiday and/or where to celebrate it around the Northwest!

From DIGITIZE (by Kahea) – A big struggle that many young Pacific Islanders deal with is finding their identity. As a teenager, you are already at an age where you are trying to learn about yourself and who you are—your identity. It can be hard to find where you fit in, how to act around others who don’t understand you or your Pacific Islander heritage. Sometimes it may feel like you’re living in two worlds, where in one you are comfortable being who you are and who you were raised to be, and the other you are the person that blends in the crowd.

From EchoX’s Voices – Since 1989, tribal communities have held Canoe Journey to heal from intergenerational trauma, reclaim Coast Salish traditions, reduce drug-use, and pass on teachings to future generations. This summer get ready to paddle to Seattle! We give thanks to the Muckleshoot, this year’s host nation.
