Pupusas & Arepas
Pupusas & Arepas By Vanderbilt Center for Latin American Studies Corn is a key ingredient in dishes across Latin America. While simple corn tortillas are eaten in every Latin American country, there are many ways in which corn and corn dough are used. One of these is the pupusa, which is eaten through Central America but considered Salvadoran. Pupusas are thick corn tortillas stuffed with fillings, such as meat, refried beans, cheese, and squash flowers. Then they are cooked on a traditional grilled called a comal. Traditionally, pupusas are topped with a spicy coleslaw (called curtido) made of cabbage, onions, carrots, and spices. It is believed that pupusas were created by the indigenous Pipil tribe, who lived in what is now known as El Salvador over 2000 years ago. When El Salvadorans fled their country during its civil war in the 1980s, they brought their pupusas with them, introducing pupusas to the United States, Canada, and Australia. In 2005, the pupusa was declared the official national food of El Salvador, and the second Sunday in November is National Pupusa Day in El Salvador. On this day, people gather in the capital to try to create the world’s largest pupusa. Currently, the record was set in 2012 with a pupusa that was 4.25 meters across and fed thousands of people. Vanderbilt University Center for Latin American Studies Venezuela and Colombia, two countries in South America, have their own version of the corn tortilla called arepas. Arepas are made from corn dough and cooked on a traditional iron griddle called a budare.

The Resilience of Indigenous Culture in El Salvador
University of Maryland, College Park The Resilience of Indigenous Culture in El Salvador Ashley A. Escobar LASC Capstone Thesis Dr. Britta Anderson December 6th 2018 Introduction and Personal History In the spirit of research, I recently took a 23 and Me ancestry DNA test and the results gave me much to consider about my own roots. Given the historical framework of conquest and patterns of migrations across the Americas, I expected some of these results as the daughter of Salvadoran immigrants: 52% Native American with ancestors from El Salvador, 33% European with ancestors from Spain, 7% Sub Saharan African with Senegambian, Guinean, and Congolese ancestry, and 6% of my heritage being broadly traced to various, far-flung regions of the globe. The prominence of indigenous ancestry that was picked up in my DNA was evidence to me of the resilience of indigenous ancestors who were silenced through years of hegemonic rule—and that we are still here. The indigenous people of El Salvador are still alive despite the notion that we have long been wiped out; either by force or by choice we have instead taken on cultural attitudes that have masked our roots in order to survive violent oppression. History is typically written by the victors and silences the voices of those they vanquish, which is reflected in the lack of documentation and archival records of indigenous groups in El Salvador, as well as the sheer difficulty of obtaining many officiated documents. Despite this, there are subtle ways indigenous culture has been kept alive in popular Salvadoran culture: our traditional foods, our vernacular, and celebrations all weave together vestiges of a culture that could not be vanquished.
