Indigenous People & Globalization | Armenian Diaspora, Genocide & Persistence
This World Cultures lesson is a 59-page interview that invites students to explore indigenous cultural identity in the context of genocide, diaspora, natural disaster, and Armenian heritage. In this interview with Anahit Gharibyan, she describes her work as the first employee of Armenia Tree Project Charitable Foundation (ATP), serving as the manager of the Community Tree Planting Program for almost two decades. In this wide-ranging discussion, Anahit reflects on her personal history in the context of the Armenian Genocide, the subsequent diaspora, a 1988 6.9 magnitude earthquake, and the following deforestation that ATP was created to address. Anahit’s story serves as a window to how ethnic identity and community can sustain and strengthen people during times of duress and beyond.
