Indigeneity is often erased in the immigrant narrative of the US. Displaced Indigenous migrant communities in the United States have historically been undercounted in the Census due to many being classified under Hispanic/Latino. This is a problem for communities whose first or most used language is not Spanish or English, but Zapotec, Chinantec, K’iché or any of the various Indigenous languages that can be heard in the streets of Los Angeles and across the country.

At the same time, we must resist the erasure of the Indigenous peoples of this land - the Tongva, Chumash, Cahuilla, and others. The Chicanx concept of Aztlán, asserting California as the mythic Aztec homeland, contributes to that erasure.
