The Indigenous Latinx Project is supported by the Quechua program at the University of Pennsylvania, formed with the goal of providing a space for college students of Latinx descent to discuss their experiences, engage and learn about Indigenous cultures and languages, and to create a community in a virtual setting.
During the Spring 2021 we are hosting a series of events on February 26th and April 9th. These virtual encounters aim to allow students to explore their identity and gather their reflections within the framework of reclaiming indigenous identities in the Latinx community through informal conversations.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us through email to dayanna @ sas.upenn.edu (Dayanna Salas) or via Instagram: @indigenouslatinx, where we will be posting answers to any questions and sharing fun content.
