Guelaguetza Cultural Event
The Ñuu Savi (Mixtecs), are Mesoamerican people of Mexico inhabiting the region known as La Mixteca of Oaxaca and Puebla as well as the state of Guerrero's Mountain Region, and Costa Chica Region/Coastal Region, which covers parts of the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero and Puebla.
Ñu’un Nducha has been working hard in coordinating and creating La Guelaguetza en Oregon. The event will be a celebration of the indigenous communities that live in Washington County. La Guelaguetza is an essential celebration of the eight indigenous regions in Oaxaca, Mexico. This event will be important for the indigenous community to gather in Hillsboro to celebrate with music, art, and food.
To give you some background of how the event has come to flourish. It all started with a focus group in Washington County. The research justice fellowship was led by the Coalition of Communities of Color. The research focus was regarding the Ñuu Savi community in Washington County and their sense of belonging in the community. A focus group was led with folks who identify as Ñuu Savi with a series of questions. An underlying finding came about the conversation Participants feel invisible because they are always clumped into the Latino community, are discriminated and minimized of their indigenous identity.
An attainable outcome of the focus group was a need for a cultural event to gather the Ñuu Savi (Mixtec) community. The focus group members ended up organizing a collaborative composed of indigenous Ñuu Savi women. The women who are organized under the name Ñu’un Nducha have been planning La Guelaguetza en Oregon.
