Native America Calling: Indigenous resistance to gentrification in Puerto Rico

Indigenous resistance to gentrification in Puerto Rico

That’s pushing housing prices up, exacerbating the island’s debt crisis, and threatening the country’s long-held tradition of public access to beaches. It’s also causing concerns for Indigenous communities.
