Natalia Neira Retamal is a cultural worker and strategist, co-creating a more just and joyful world with communities, artists, activists and allies seeking liberation. Natalia is based in Huichin, Ohlone Territory (Oakland, CA), with roots in the Andes and Wallmapu (Mapuche territory). She is the former Executive Director of La Peña Cultural Center where she grew the organization from 3 to 6 staff, established living wages, health insurance, increased vacation time and other important benefits to offer better work-life balance for employees. She was the former co-chair of Berkeley Cultural Trust’s (BCT) Equity & Inclusion Committee. Natalia is now currently focusing on community-driven projects where she will continue to advocate for equity and justice for the community.

Tash Terry is a Diné (Navajo) musician, writer, nationally certified American Sign Language interpreter, and cultural arts leader based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her creative life is shaped by experiences moving between worlds: childhood summers on Black Mountain with her másání, absorbing the stories embedded in weaving and the land itself, and carrying the layered complexity of Diné and mixed heritage after the loss of her father.

As an interpreter, Terry’s work lives at the crossroads of sound and silence, guided by a Diné worldview that centers Indigenous values, disability justice, and the belief that access is a form of care. She approaches translation — whether across languages, cultures, or communities — as a sacred act honoring connection and respect.

In 2006, Terry co-founded the acoustic folk duo Indigie Femme with Elena Higgins. For nearly twenty years, their music has brought Indigenous women’s voices to audiences across Turtle Island and beyond. Their original songs speak to identity, resilience, and love, and have earned Indigie Femme recognition including the 2025 Native American Music Award for Best Folk Recording and multiple New Mexico Music Awards.
