Digital Stories & Recipe Book of Multi-Ethnic Filipinos: Website Guidance
Overview
In collaboration with two multi-ethnic Filipino families and the Smithsonian Institute Asian Pacific American Center (APAC), resource creators have developed zines that present a personal history of how these families lived in Washington State through oral histories, family trees, interviews, family photographs, and a celebrated family recipe. The zines begin a conversation of how these families' histories connect with larger conversations of identity and belonging — a groundbreaking K-12 curriculum resource on Filipino American history.
Background from the Developers - 100% Project
This project marks the first in the nation to focus on Filipino American families in Seattle, with a particular emphasis on honoring the Filipino American Pioneers, especially the Jenkins family—the first Filipino American family in Seattle—and the Corpuz family- Indipino community of Bainbridge Island.
Our decision to highlight these legacies is a deliberate effort to address anti-Blackness and settler colonialism within our community by showcasing histories that are often left out of mainstream narratives and won’t be found on social media and other K-12 curriculum. By centering the powerful and influential legacy of the Jenkins family and the Indipino community, we are not only telling the stories that have shaped our past but also ensuring that these voices receive the national recognition they deserve. This project is about more than just history; it is about reclaiming our place in U.S. history, putting our community on the map, and making sure future generations learn about the contributions of Filipino American pioneers in Seattle. It’s an opportunity to ensure that the rich history of Filipino Americans and their impact are permanently woven into the fabric of our nation’s educational resources.
One thing Auntie Gina told me at a very young age, that I will always carry with me is, you know, she doesn't view herself as 50% Filipino or 50% indigenous. She views herself as 100% Filipino and 100% Indigenous...
