Acknowledgements
Maija, Tētim, Omammai un Opapam: Bez jums man nebūtu par ko rakstīt. Vārdos nekad nespēšu jums pateikties par latvisko dziesmu, valodu un garu, kas mani katru dienu iedvesmo.
Mammai un papam: Paldies, ka vedāt mūs uz latviešu skolu (arī ja paši negribējām), un ka veltījāt nez cik stundas stiepjot mūs uz Nometni un Garezeru. Paldies par bezgalīgu mīlestību un atbalstu.
Kristīnai: tu jau zini.
To Michele: thank you for asking the hard questions when I did not want to ask them myself. Thank you for your never-ending patience, support, and reassurance—it was an absolute privilege to work with you.
Finally, to the community who shaped me and has provided me with endless project topics: I hope I have captured at least a minuscule part of who and how we are.
Paldies, paldies, paldies.
