2nd Annual Celebrating the Indigenous Americas Week
The 2nd Annual Celebrating the Indigenous Americas is a week of virtual and in-person events hosted by the Latin American and Latinx Studies Center at CU Boulder from April 5-8, 2022. All events are free and open to the public.
For four days, Indigenous artists, advocates, community leaders, educators, scholars and professionals will virtually come to the University of Colorado from different parts of the world to celebrate the ever-renewed presence of Latin American Indigenous languages and cultures in daily life, activities and professions. Planned panels and roundtables cover bilingual education, social movements, land reclamation, migration, environmental justice, university-community partnerships, broadcasting and communication. We also invite audiences to join us for a dance performance, folk art workshops, cooking lessons, and much more.
The Latin American and Latinx Studies Center (LALSC) provides an institutional space for research, teaching and discussion on Latin America and Latinx Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
LALSC brings together cross-disciplinary research and education, through our research clusters, Quechua language training, community events, new curriculum and outreach collaborations, strengthening links with Latin America and with communities of Latin American origin in the United States.
This event is sponsored by the Latin American Studies Center, the U.S. Department of Education, Title VI IFLE (International and Foreign Language Education), The Center for Native and Indigenous Studies, University Libraries, the American Music Research Center, the CU Boulder Museum of Natural History, the Center for Humanities & the Arts, and CU's Office of Outreach and Engagement (https://www.colorado.edu/outreach/ooe/)
