Latino America, Latino Montana

by Bridget Kevane
Who are Hispanics or Latinos? What is immigration reform? Why should we care? Latinos in America—Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Cubans, and Mexicans—have had a long and important role in the shaping of the United States. Montana is no exception. Learn about our state’s Latino history, which began even before 1889, and about the more recently arrived community of Latinos in the state.
