Through generational stories of survival, cultural continuity, and sovereignty, Ruben Leyva, a PhD student in the Native American Studies Department at the University of New Mexico, emphasizes the enduring significance of his heritage. By honoring these stories, we celebrate the strength of the Gila and Mimbreño Apache, who have remained strong amidst profound challenges, grounding their future in the wisdom of their past. This presentation reflects the resilience and adaptability of Apache families navigating the region’s histories of conflict and displacement, conveying a deep sense of belonging.
