Migrants Relearn Indigenous Languages Through Poetry

Families from diverse states in Mexico who reside in New York get together to relearn and revitalize their indigenous languages, through art, oral tradition, and literature. As members of the Iguana Azul project, the migrants and their children write, read and correct their own stories and poems in Náhuatl, Mixteco, Tlapaneco and other languages. For some, their native language is indigenous. Others are just beginning to learn them. Marco Vinicio González was at a commemoration in Nueva York of the 10 years of life of the Iguana Azul project.
