In eastern Washington, a farm tells the story of two communities and their shared resilience over more than a century. WAPATO, Wash. — The traditional Japanese lantern in the driveway of Inaba Produce Farms offers just a hint of the richly layered history behind this once-humble agricultural operation in eastern Washington.

Lon Inaba, 67, was part of the third generation of his family to manage the farm — and the last of the Inabas with a desire to till soil and tend to vines. He was ready to retire and sell the farm that had long been his family’s treasure. Several potentially lucrative options came to mind. But then Mr. Inaba thought of the many acts of kindness that Yakama tribal members had shown his family, starting when his grandfather arrived in Wapato in the early 1900s from Japan in search of a better life. There was the time when the Washington State Legislature banned “aliens” — including people of Japanese ancestry — from leasing land in the 1920s. It was a Yakama tribal member who told the family not to worry, that they could farm a portion of his land.

Amid widespread discrimination, another Yakama man carved out a parcel so that the Inaba family could rebuild their farm. “If it wasn’t for the Indian nation, we would never have been able to be here,” Shiz Inaba, 93, recalled telling Mr. Inaba, her son. The Yakama Nation recently expressed interest in buying the farm — now a 1,600-acre company that supplies top grocery chains — seeing an opportunity to improve the community’s access to healthy produce. “The level of poverty here has been such that it’s the kind of stuff that people can’t always afford to buy,” said Jonalee Squeochs, who is overseeing a larger agricultural development project for the Yakama Nation.

But it did not matter. It felt right. “Different individual tribal members were very kind to our family and to the Japanese community over the years,” Mr. Inaba said, growing teary-eyed. “I thought, ‘Hey, this could be a way to repay them.’” Read the rest of the story [here](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlUg_vP0TfaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMS8xMC91cy95YWthbWEtbmF0aW9uLWphcGFuZXNlLWZhcm0uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zNyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ycl8yMDIyMTExMiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD03NzMzNCZubD1yYWNlJTJGcmVsYXRlZCZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTEyOTcxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjZO-Kb2MHKUPPUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).

Only the subject of this portrait is not an American founding father but a hero of another kind: a California farmworker from Mexico, shown in semi-profile with her thick, black hair tied back and her gaze strong and direct. At either side are farmworkers in full gear: masks to protect them from pesticides, hats to shield them from the sun, and goggles or sunglasses for both. Other scenes complete the artwork, which draws on the Mexican muralist tradition in its narrative scope and celebration of physical labor and on Dada collage and assemblage in its use of found objects. The entire painting, done in gouache, ink, charcoal and gold leaf, was made not on canvas but on flattened produce boxes — the kind used for oranges, strawberries, watermelons and the like — which come with punchy corporate logos and sunny illustrations that add color to the scene. The produce boxes point to the big business of American agriculture, which depends so heavily on — and often exploits — undocumented Mexican immigrants who have little leverage when the work is dangerous or wages too low. Martinez, 45, who was born in Mexico and lives in Long Beach, titled his artwork “Legal Tender.” “I liked the word ‘tender’ as a reminder that people can be fragile, people can be hurt,” the artist said at his studio in Long Beach, a small, street-level space between a bodega and a liquor store. “I also wanted to ask questions about what it means to be legal. Is your food illegal if it’s picked by someone who is so-called illegal?” He said the central figure in “Legal Tender” is based on an undocumented California farmworker from Guerrero, Mexico, whom he met and photographed — and paid for her time.

He worked the fields himself, on and off for nearly a decade, before landing solo shows in Los Angeles.Nolwen Cifuentes for The New York Times He sees Martinez as part of a new generation of Chicano artists responding to the issue of cultural invisibility. “It’s a common refrain in Chicanx art that we are invisible as a community, certainly with little representation in Hollywood,” said Vicario, who said he was raised in San Diego by Mexican parents. “What interests me about Narsiso is how he is making visible a group of people who have been overlooked or behind the scenes in the agricultural economy,” Vicario said.

Flesch reading score measures how complex a text is. The lower the score, the more difficult the text is to read. The Flesch readability score uses the average length of your sentences (measured by the number of words) and the average number of syllables per word in an equation to calculate the reading ease. Text with a very high Flesch reading ease score (about 100) is straightforward and easy to read, with short sentences and no words of more than two syllables. Usually, a reading ease score of 60-70 is considered acceptable/normal for web copy.
