My name is Nicole Mendoza and I am a fifth year political science with international relations student. While I was born in Canada, my family comes from Mexico. I was drawn to this class because I recently completed a thesis on populism in Latin America. In addition, I want to learn more about the indigenous groups in the country most of my family calls home. <br \/><br \/>I am very excited to learn more about indigenous groups as a Mexican-Canadian woman. My hope is to be able to open my horizons and understand indigenous thought beyond Canada&#8217;s borders. My hope for this class is to engage in fruitful discussion on major topics through an indigenous lens. <br \/><br \/>The first class offered a great intro into how we will be approaching the Latin American region. I am very excited to learn about how power and organisational structures operate within indigenous communities in pre-colonial era. I am also eager to learn about how indigenous groups within the region differ from those based in Anglo-America.<br \/><br \/>Overall I am excited to be a part of this conversation throughout the term!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Everyone!
