I'm back! this time with a video on race and immigration: Native woman tells NCLR Janet Murguia to stop ignoring our Indigenous communities

In this video, Marina who is a teacher in New York city and an Indigenous woman from Guatemala, tells Janet Murguia the NCLR's CEO, that we the Native peoples of the Americas, are not Latinos nor Hispanics.

The National Council of La Raza - NCLR, is perhaps the most important political organization in the U.S. that focus on immigrant population, well the so-called immigrants who are mostly Spanish speaking Indigenous people from Mexico, Central and South America.

For now I have this video only in Spanish, but the version with English subtitles will be available tomorrow, bare with me.



Ms. Murguia: this is a matter of respect to our diversity and to the rights of our Indigenous peoples to be recognized within our own identities, as we are one of many communities that shape up this great nation. We appreciate your work and we don't want to divide, we want to be part of your platform.
