The Felipe de Ortego y Gasca Lecture Series presents author Deborah Jackson Taffa, who will explore the evolving relationship between Indigenous and Chicano communities.

As the daughter of a Chicano mother and Native American father, Taffa offers a unique perspective on the complex history and ongoing tensions surrounding issues of sovereignty, cultural heritage, and decolonial consciousness.

Taffa’s debut book, “Whiskey Tender,” was a finalist for the 2024 National Book Award and chronicles her journey of reclaiming her Indigenous identity.
