Latiné Heritage Month

Vamos Bufalos

Latiné Heritage Month celebrates, recognizes and supports the identity, history, culture and contributions of the Latiné community. From Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, this time honors the legacy and anniversaries of independence across many Latin American countries and Latiné peoples. Join us at upcoming events and learn more about how to get involved.Ìý

Why LatinéÌý

  • The terminology used for the Latiné community has been a conversation in the U.S., and in the Americas in general, since about the 1970s. Languages are by nature mutable and complicated, as are identities themselves. The continual conversation of what terms we use as a community and where these terms come from, what ancestry they highlight, and who prefers them, will likely continue. In the meantime, we want to honor the communities that created these terms and recognize the continuing importance of this now over-half-a-century conversation.
  • Regardless of what term you use for yourself including but not limited to Chicano/a/x, Hispanic, Latino/a/é/x/, Latin@ you are part of this conversation. We want to welcome you to celebrate our diverse identities across the diaspora and histories together.Ìý
