NATIVE RESOURCES

NuevaYorkinos’ work is dedicated to preserving stories of Latin American and Caribbean diasporas in New York City. A project created by a couple with Native heritages, and lovers of our city and our state, we acknowledge that our work situates itself within Lenapehoking, the Lenape homeland. Please find books, articles, and teaching resources to expand your knowledge on past and present-day Native events.
