Indigenous people and communities who have migrated to the US face discrimination and violations of their linguistic and human rights every day. This public forum will highlight the voices of grassroots Indigenous-led organizations doing the work of Indigenous language interpretation in communities around the US. Indigenous migrant communities have faced ongoing discrimination and violence for generations - and in the current anti-immigration climate in the US, their rights are increasingly violated and under attack.
