Digital media has been an integral source for producing and promoting valuable materials that provide accurate information about our Zapotec history and our present, such as the Teotitlán del Valle Zapotec Talking Dictionary (Chávez Santiago et al. 2019), an open-source online lexical and cultural resource that actively includes the voice and knowledge of today’s native speakers and that can be used by speakers and learners. As a language activist to take part in finding ways to learn and obtain information in Zapotec, I have also been able to teach a Zapotec language and culture history workshop at the local high school of my hometown, using Ticha, a digital text explorer for colonial Zapotec (Lillehaugen et al. 2016). Teaching in my own town has allowed me to work with a Zapotec youth and build a space where we can enjoy, recognize, and reflect on our language and culture, strengthening our identity. These are some examples of how we can take part in making our surroundings and the digital world speak our Zapotec language and create digital resources about our language following a Zapotec agenda (Plumb et al. 2024).
