The Indigenous Migration NY Workshop Series 2018-2019 grows out of a collaboration and shared research interest with Charlie Uruchima, co-founder of Kichwa Hatari. This forum aims to bring together scholars, activists, artists, and community members to discuss the specific challenges for indigenous migrants in the New York City area. Participants are encouraged to bring and discuss their work. The workshops are co-sponsored by the Center for Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center, Kichwa Hatari, and the Endangered Languages Alliance.
