Cynthia Parada, a council woman of the La Posta band of the Kumeyaay tribe, explains to border patrol why it would be disrespectful to break up the group amidst their prayer.

Hwaa Kuahan, 10, begs his mother, Martha Rodriguez, every day to join in protesting the border wall. Rodriguez is one of the protest leaders and a teacher of cultural practices at Kumeyaay community college. According to Rodriguez, she allows him to join when there will not be dynamite involved in the construction process and she deems the day’s activities as safe. His name translates to ‘True Warrior.’(Camille Cohen / Golden Gate Xpress)

According to Parada, the existence of the U.S.-Mexico border separates Kumeyaay tribal members. Their separation has caused loss of language, song and prayer.

While many school districts include curriculum that describe slavery and segregation, the scope and impact of such events on today’s world is rarely addressed. Literature like Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird is many student’s only window into the injustices of the past. In some states, like Mississippi, the book has been banned from the 8th grade classrooms in which it is usually taught, due to making school board members “uncomfortable.” Illustration by: Benjamin Jancewicz, Zerflin, 2015
