The Land of the Elders by Ebany Dohle (Available in English & Spanish)
NAHUAT-PIPIL is an Indigenous Uto-Aztecan language spoken in El Salvador with approximately 100 speakers, many of whom are socially and economically vulnerable (2022). This story was inspired by speakers living in Santo Domingo de Guzman in El Salvador, who Ebany Dohle met through their collaborative work and research to better understand the relationship between language, land, environment and heritage.
To some, Indigenous languages might seem outdated or old-fashioned, however, when we take the time to learn an ancestral language, we learn to see through eyes of our Elders, and connect to their deep wisdom and knowledge. Our heritage languages are our roots and when we accept where we come from, we can walk with self-awareness, integrity, and stability, and have a better impact on the world.
This book hopes to inspire children and adults alike to
reconnect with their ancestral and heritage languages and cement the
relevance and importance of such languages in the modern world.

BOMB Magazine has been publishing conversations between artists of all disciplines since 1981. BOMB's founders—New York City-based artists and writers—created BOMB because they saw a disparity between the way artists talked about their work among themselves and the way critics described it.
Today, BOMB is a multi-media publishing house that creates, disseminates, and preserves artist-generated content from interviews to artists' essays to new literature. BOMB includes a quarterly print magazine, a daily online publication, and a digital archive of its previously published content from 1981 onward.
