The Silver City Public Library will host "Diving Deeply into Apache Family History," a presentation by Ruben Leyva, on Friday, February 28, 3:00pm. The presentation is accessible simultaneously in-person and online, and Mr. Leyva will join us virtually. Those interested in attending virtually can find registration information at www.silvercitypubliclibrary.org. Flyer at end of article.
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.
