Rosa Salazar is an American actress. She starred in the film Alita: Battle Angel (2019).
She was raised in Hyattsville, Maryland and Washington, D.C. She spent time in foster care.
Rosa has said that her father is Peruvian. She has stated:
…I’m always grateful to be hired, especially as a Latin woman in this business… And I’m always grateful when the most essential part of my character isn’t that she’s Latin.
Rosa is sometimes said to be of part Cuban descent, although it is not clear if this is accurate.

Peruvian what exactly? Unknown/not specified Mesoamerican people who are Indigenous to the Peruvian land I suppose?

No French found in her mother’s background, rather the more common English, German, Scottish/Scots-Irish.
In this interview she’s stated that her mom is French and her father is Peruvian. https://youtu.be/63W4pfU8l9A
she is described as being of Peruvian descent in many websites (in Spanish and English)
I wonder how much of that is indigenous, Andean for example?
