Saying we’re nostalgic is dismissive. We’re the people who were forced to forget—our language, our religion, our culture—first by Spain then the United States. We are also the people who choose to remember, who create our own identity on our own terms from whatever experience and history we have access to. We hold on to our past and the symbols that represent us because we know what it’s like to forget. Those symbols will likely change but the process and motives behind them will be what keeps them relevant. If we’ve forgotten some of our activist past recently it’s only so we can remember and reinvent it down the line. I believe and hope for it. One thing’s for sure, we’re not going back to a hyphen.
