IGNITE TALK

What does it mean to identify as indigenous or relate with it? During the break I attended Raza College Day mainly focusing on latinx culture and CE'ENI Indigenous Conference which focused on the indigenous pride, identity, culture and etc.. What I learn and knew previously the stories, people were willing to share through their experiences about growing up with a culture many did not understand. Workshops.... The connection I have is with Fahrenheit 451 and how society tries so hard to hide and change others around them. Next I will be conducting more research about indigenous identity and culture.
