We’re celebrating Dia de los Muertos by chatting with Lisa Sánchez about how she celebrates the Mexican holiday. The Boise City Councilperson talks about her favorite Day of the Dead altars and spoiling her ancestors with treats they couldn’t have while they were living. Plus, Lisa tells us her plans this year to honor the gentleness and grace of her grandfather and helps us understand the difference between appropriation and participation.
