Unbroken: Indigenous Peoples Today

Aku, P'Urepecha Native, 19 years old

Aku is one of many young Native warriors who are working hard to help renovate D-Q University, a former Tribal University.

"Volunteering here is pretty calm. I do security, maintenance and grounds-keeping. Most people visit because they studied here and have a connection with the land. I'll tour them around the campus to show them what's new and talk about the history."
