""Gathering Together, We Decide brings together a broad range of community, academic, and artistic voices to reflect on the colonized state of Indigenous lands on the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, and to envision decolonized Indigenous futures. While addressing the historical and ongoing violence against Indigenous peoples of Texas in the Rio Grande region, the work speaks more broadly to acts of Indigenous resistance and survival that build paths for achieving decolonized futures for all peoples.""--Christina Leza, author of Divided Peoples: Policy, Activism, and Indigenous Identities on the U.S.-Mexico Border
