The Latin American Studies Center invites participants to Celebrating the Indigenous Americas, a week of virtual programming.

About this Event

The University of Colorado at Boulder provides real-time captioning in English and ASL interpretation for events upon request. Requests for real-time captioning and interpretation should be submitted at least 72 hours in advance of the event. Please email lasc@colorado.edu for assistance.

Put on your qulittaujaq (parka) and start imagining the cold lands of the North American north as we dabble into how the environment influences words and images. We’ll look at clothes, games and art created and used by indigenous people in the Arctic. Then you’ll create our own art and learn how to give it a title in the Inuktitut language.

Have a paper and pencil (or markers) available. We’ll provide follow-up resources so that you can continue to explore after the program.

This program is designed for kids and families. All are welcome!
