This is one of several episodes of the Contracorriente Podcast, a collaborative project between students at High Tech High in San Diego, California, and students from Colegio Monte Tabor y Nazareth in Santiago Chile. This recording is part of our Underrepresented San Diego series where San Diego students investigated and learned about marginalized peoples, current events and local and regional history that has not been centered in our experience of our city. This episode titled “Kumeyaay Women Protesting Border Wall Construction” is hosted by Elaine and Amel which focuses on the struggles natives face with destruction of sacred land. Our essential question was “Why were Kumeyaay women protesting the border wall Construction?” During this research we had many findings including why women were the face of the protest, the past use for sacred land, and the different crops and wildflowers that are dear to them. We hope this episode expands the stories of San Diego’s past and present, and honors the wide diversity of people and experience in our city.
