The Central American Historical and Ancestral Society of California (CAHAAS) is a digital archive of intersectional oral histories that represent a wide range of Central American lived experiences to empower our communities, educate the public, and represent ourselves in the American story. We actively document, preserve, and share our diverse narratives to equip educators with culturally responsive teaching resources that help bridge the cultural knowledge gap that leads to biased narratives, stereotypes, racism, and systemic inequalities.
