Dear colleagues:

Please share this with students. This is a unique opportunity for students to interact with Miguel Villegas, stage name Una Isu (Eight Deer in Mixteco/Ñuu Savi who will be performing this Thursday. Let's get him a good audience! Thank you.


Miguel Villegas Ventura also known as Una Isu, is a trilingual Ñuu Savi (Mixtec) rap artist, Indigenous migrant rights activist, organizer, Tu'un Savi (Mixtec) language instructor, and dancer who has been featured in programs such as Univision (Aquí y ahora), National Geographic, La Jornada, Radio Bilingue, Excélsior TV and Imagen TV to name a few. His work has been documented in universities such as El Colegio de la Frontera Norte (El Colef), The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Stanford. He has been mentioned in published books such as Voces de jóvenes indígenas oaxaqueños en el Valle Central: Forjando nuestro sentido de pertenencia en California, Raciolinguistics: How Language Shapes Our Ideas About Race and Revealing Rebellion in Abiayala: The Insurgent Poetics of Contemporary Indigenous Literature. Una Isu's songs are  a window on understanding issues regarding immigration history and the U.S.-Mexico relations, Mexican and Central America immigration, farmworker movements and cultures, and much more.

The University of Oregon is located on Kalapuya ilihi, the traditional indigenous homeland of the Kalapuya people. Following treaties between 1851 and 1855, Kalapuya people were dispossessed of their indigenous homeland by the United States government and forcibly removed to the Coast Reservation in Western Oregon. Today, Kalapuya descendants are primarily citizens of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, and they continue to make important contributions to their communities, to the UO, to Oregon, and to the world.
