May 20, 2021 Megan Botel THE WASHINGTON POST – In 1980, when fourth-grader Quirina Geary’s class learned about Spanish missions and the Native American tribes they conquered, she proudly announced that her family was part of the Mutsun tribe, which lived for thousands of years in what is nowCentral California. But when her classmates asked her to speak in her native tongue, she froze. Despite growing up with many Indigenous traditions – she foraged for mushrooms and gathered acorns, her father fed the family with hunted deer, they lived intergenerationally and with extended family – she did not know a single Mutsun word. “I felt less Indian that day,” Geary, now 49, recalled. “There is something about language that is so deeply rooted in identity. It’s how you see the world, and how the world sees you.”
