Radio Indígena, a community-run radio station in California, becomes a lifeline for endangered Mexican, Central American indigenous languages.

A radio station becomes a lifeline for endangered Mexican, Central American indigenous languages

The station is a welcome cultural lifeline for thousands of farm workers who speak Mixteco or other indigenous Central American languages. About one-third of farm workers in California speak indigenous languages from southern Mexico, including Triqui and Mixteco. Many of them don't speak Spanish or English.

“There are very few ways for us to receive information in our own language,” Arcenio Lopez, executive director of MICOP and Radio Indígena, said. The project began in 2014 as a community radio station that only lived online, but after years of fundraising, the station finally reached FM airwaves in 2017.
