SAN DIEGO – The Kumeyaay Band flag was raised outside of San Diego Unified School District headquarters on Friday, and district leaders said the flag raising is one of many steps the district is taking in showing solidarity with Native American students.
“San Diego has more reservations than any other county in the country,” said Stanley Rodriguez, a member of the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel. “When they do speak about us as native people, many times they speak of us in the past tense. Yes, we've been here for thousands upon thousands of years, but we are still here,” Rodriguez said.
“We get to be acknowledged, and being acknowledged is the best feeling you can get,” said SD Unified student Evette Avina. “I really think that's possible today for the Kumeyaay people.”
