Indigenous Voices, Decolonization Movement

The Indigenous Voices, the Decolonization Movement campaign, aims to increase awareness of issues facing indigenous communities in the Imperial Valley, cultivate a sense of community, and encourage pride and ownership. The multichannel approach supports messaging to promote representation, empowerment, cultural preservation, land rights recognition, education, and dialogue. Through collaboration with indigenous artists and cultural practitioners, the various events and programming provide insights into their backgrounds, artistic journeys, and cultural influences, highlighting the importance of art in addressing significant issues within indigenous communities. The campaign focuses on the lowest quartile California Healthy Places Index communities of the Imperial Valley tribal communities.
