More than 6,000 historic tapes from American Samoa’s public broadcasting station, KVZK, are at risk of being lost forever.

These recordings document decades of island life, including local news, graduations, cultural festivals, religious ceremonies, and more, told in both Samoan and English.

I do not have Pacific Islander ancestry myself, but I have been practicing the Samoan art of Siva Afi (fireknife dancing) for 12 years. I worked with world-champion fireknife dancers, Samoan speakers, and a Samoan artist to create a card game about it:

The one thing I don't understand is that when I turned down my noisiest relays, these hashtags all but went away

#blackmastodon #blackfediverse #poc #blacklivesmatter #freechina #antiracist #blackhistory #bipoc #aapi #asian #asianamerican #pacificislander #indigenous #native

I'd love to know where to find those again.

If you don't have any BIPOC persons visible in your feed each day, make an effort to spend 5 minutes every day combing through the Local and the Federated feeds for interesting BIPOC.

Make a habit of following hashtags like

#BlackMastodon

#BlackTwitter

#BlackFriday

#BlackHistory

#BIPOC

#AAPI

#Asian

#AsianAmerican

#PacificIslander

#Indigenous

#Native

There are more; you'll see them once you make an effort. (2/x)
