%X This interdisciplinary study drew on Critical Latinx Indigeneities and Nigrescence Theory to conduct a mixed-method analysis of the ethnoracial attitudes and identity-salient experiences of Indigenous Oaxaque£¿o adolescents and emerging adults living in the United States. Results revealed that compared to emerging adults, adolescents endorsed higher self-hatred and lower multiculturalist inclusive attitudes. The ethnoracial attitudes of adolescents¡¯, but not of emerging adults¡¯, were correlated with their reported discrimination from mestizo Mexican peers. Narrative analysis revealed four types of experiences that defined what it means to be Oaxaque£¿o: cultural practices, ethnoracial discrimination, connection, and a disconnect with an Indigenous identity. Findings highlight the need for existing ethnoracial identity theories and scales to consider the multiracial and colonial structure within which Latinx youth develop their identities
