In the 1910s my grandparents and great-aunts and great- uncles were born in a state of fugitivity, as their families fled a genocide against our people in Mexico. To strengthen the Yaqui Nation, they, along with others, established a community called Old Pascua in Tucson, Arizona, and continued in privacy our ancestral religion and mother tongue, hiak noki. Yesterday, to prevent urban encroachment, the Senate passed the Old Pascua Community Land Acquisition Act. Congratulations to everyone who helped support this effort.
