b"As indigenous people from Mexico migrate to California, their languages and cultures are threatened. One indigenous trilingual rapper based in Fresno is fighting back.\\n\\n\\u201cWe are taught that we're not valuable, we are taught that we have no history, we are ignorant, we don\\u2019t have richness of culture\\u2026. I\\u2019m trying to turn everything around.\\u201d\\n\\nMiguel Villegas Ventura came to the US at age 7 speaking only Mixteco, an indigenous language spoken by the \\xd1uu Savi nation in the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero and Puebla. He came of age in Fresno, California, amidst poverty, bullying and the constant pressure to hide his roots.\\n\\nBut when Miguel learned the history of Una Isu, a 12th century Mixteco warrior, everything changed. \\n\\nToday Miguel demands respect and dignity through trilingual hip hop. Like Una Isu, he seeks to unite indigenous Mexicans who have found a new home in the United States. \\n\\nProducer: Jackie Botts\\n\\nFeaturing voices of Miguel Villegas, Leoncio Vasquez and Irma Luna \\n\\nMusic: \\n \\u201cMixteco es un Lenguaje\\u201d by Una Isu\\n\\u201cIntro [Prod.
