    * FAAM defines Chicana/e/o as being a resident or citizen of the United States of America of Mexican descent, who may or may not have Indigenous heritage. We define Mestiza/e/o as being a Latin American person of detribalized Indigenous descent. Some Indigenous artists from South America who have moved away from their tribal homelands, put Mestize/a/o first, followed by their tribe.
