Demand for Indigenous Latin American language interpreters has surged in Oregon. This group is helping meet it

An article about an organization in the U.S. state of Oregon, working to connect Indigenous immigrants with translation services for healthcare, legal proceedings, schools, and more.

 

"Oregon has more than 50,000 immigrants who speak Indigenous languages, according to Pueblo Unido, arriving in the U.S. from Mexico and Central and South America. Local demand for interpreters who speak such languages has been rising steadily. That was initially due to increased migration from Indigenous communities. The Collective works with health care providers, legal organizations and schools to match up patients, clients and parents with interpreters who speak 17 Indigenous languages."
