It is rich earth with a moderate climate and abundant food supplies, where “many cultures and peoples met” for trading, recreation, hunting, farming, and healing,” “not dissimilar to the Mediterranean in the Old World.”  \nUnderneath is land that “supported many different types of habitat, which in turn supported various forms of wildlife such as fish, beaver, muskrats and frogs in the rivers, streams and lakes, deer and caribou in the forest, and various kinds of fowl in the trees.”6  \nUnderneath is the roaring of the subway and the silence of buried rivers.7 Underneath is a pathway traveled for 12,000 years.  \nUnderneath there are Aboriginal footprints and bones.  \nIntroduction  \nThe places in which we live, learn, shop, and play are more than simply buildings; they represent outcomes of social relations that we take for granted.8  \nA group of Latinas9 sat down one day around a wooden table on the third floor of a downtown Toronto community center, lit candles and began to write. We came together through a flier I created inviting all Latinas interested in writing. On the second meeting, we named ourselves Lengua Latina (Latin Tongue) . Lengua Latina is a structure established by women of diverse Latin American origins to answer a need for expression and community in Canada. As many as ten of us at any given time wrote and performed together for over six years.10 The 519 Church Street Community Centre was the foundation of  \nLatina Landscape 115  \nour learning.11 The building and geography drew us together.  \nHow did we come to learn together in this building and on this land? How did our histories and identities motivate our travels? I suppose we were fleeing as much as we were searching. We arrived as an answer to a call for Latina identity in Toronto. Each woman’s journey was her own, but there were shared tendencies and conditions: a resistance to colonization, an insistence upon women’s strength, and a liberation within queer life.  \nQuests (1-4)  \nBy quests for identity I refer to personal (and sometimes collective, as in the case of nationalisms) journeys through space and time—material, psychic, and at a variety of scales—that are constructed internally as being about the search for an integrated wholeness as individual humans living in some kind of community... 12  \n1.
