When I first heard that we had to visit the Museum of Anthropology to see the Amazonia exhibit, I was not sure what to expect. I had previously been to see the Indigenous collection without visiting the Amazonian part. I enjoyed learning different facts of South America including the threats on the Amazonian forest with the rise of private sectors. Also you learn fun facts such as you can make little toys out of latex or lean the use of different objects like bowls could have multiple meanings. There was not one object really stood out and appealed to me. However, the most fascinating fact that I learned was that there were 891 targeted assassinations of indigenous people in Brazil in between the years 2003-2015. I thought it was intriguing because we just finished Safe Area Gonzade by Joe Sacco mentioning the Bosnian civil war where lots of people where killed including indigenous people. It is fascinating to see the similarities in these two different continents (Europe and South America) and watch history repeats itself. The exhibit also reminded me on of what we discussed in geography. We had a reading and understood that every culture has a different concept of property rights. There was a considerable difference between the concept of ownership and wealth for the British colonizers and the indigenous people. The British considered the land as a place to prosper and to find dig up the natural resources to exploit them. However, the indigenous people tend to be friendlier towards nature and considers wealth is what they produce and live with what they have. I think that the different objects that was shown at the exabit were indigenous. I’ve seen hammocks before, but I’ve never learned what material and how to make one. I think this exabit was interesting to visit and very informative. Its important for us to discover different cultures and remember indigenous people. I’m also curious to find out why this exabit was shown at the museum. I’m also curious if there is a connection between the Musqueam people and the indigenous people from Amazonia.
