To celebrate UC San Diego’s recent Indigenous Writers and Their Critics Symposium, the Library has curated a new exhibit, Indigenous Languages and Literatures of the America(s): An Exhibit Honoring Indigenous Writings from Turtle Island to Abiayala.

On display in Geisel Library through March 15, the exhibit features materials from the Library’s collections to illustrate early to contemporary Indigenous works, including pre-Colombian pictorial and phonetic or alphabetic writing, Indigenous-Spanish works created by colonizing priests, Indigenous-to-Spanish dictionaries, and contemporary Indigenous literature, many written by authors who participated in the symposium.
