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.

From EchoX’s Voices – Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. In 2021, Juneteenth was officially recognized as a federal holiday. This year, we put together a collection of Juneteenth pieces centering Black voices to share and amplify existing community voices.
