Quechua Language Program and Andean Culture at the University of Pennsylvania
Having Indigenous languages at universities is a way to say: we are here, we have a value. This message goes to everyone, including the indigenous languages speakers whom for a long time were told that their languages shouldn’t exist. Language is linked to culture and knowledge. By building up language prestige – in this case with Quechua – we are also making a statement: This language has a value; therefore, their people do, too.
Therefore, Quechua courses at Penn work on developing language skills and cultural awareness on Indigenous Cultures.
Note: The above description came from the program's Why Quechua? page.
