Miryam Yataco—educator, language rights advocate and an expert in
intercultural bilingual education—has been involved in crafting language
recovery efforts for the Indigenous Parliamentary Group in the Peruvian
Congress, and as a consultant to Peru’s Vice-Ministry of Intercultural
Affairs under the Ministry of Culture. The daughter of a Quechua-speaking
mother originally from the Áncash region and a Spanish-speaking father of
Quechua background from Ica region, she grew up in Lima, where her
experiences with language discrimination shaped her life’s work. She
currently divides her time between Peru and New York. Indian Country Today
Media Network spoke with her at her apartment on Manhattan’s Lower East
Side.
