For years, the U.S. Census has undercounted Indigenous migrants, grouping them under the label of \\u201cHispanic\\u201d or \\u201cLatinos.\\u201d This is a problem for communities whose first language is not Spanish or English, but Zapotec, Chinantec, K\\u2019ich\\xe9 or any of the various Indigenous languages that are being spoken across the country today. The Indigenous, women-led organization Comunidades Ind\\xedgenas en Liderazgo, or CIELO, decided to start counting their own community, and put themselves on the map of Los Angeles.

In this episode, Janet Martinez from CIELO and Mariah Tso, a Din\\xe9 cartographer from UCLA, tell us how they built the \\u201cWe Are Here\\u201d map, and why a visual representation of Indigenous migrant languages matters.
