Item We take it with us wherever we go : Maya-Q’anjob’al youth experiences of migration and U.S. schools(2020-05-09) Fischel-Freeman, S. E.; Urrieta, LuisWithin the body of research devoted to immigrant Latinx students, limited research exists on Indigenous immigrant youth from Guatemala. This study investigates how Maya immigrant youth from Guatemala experience their Indigeneity in schools in the United States. Combining theoretical frameworks of Critical Latinx Indigeneities, prior research on Guatemala’s colonial history and present neo-liberal context, and scholarship on Indigenous knowledge systems, I base my findings on a 4-month qualitative study of three Indigenous Maya immigrant youth from Guatemala living in the United States and five of their family members living in Guatemala. I analyze how Indigenous immigrant youth from Guatemala use their cultural funds of Indigenous knowledge to navigate, negotiate with and resist dominant deficit narratives about Indigenous Latinx students, their communities and their families.
