I have never taken an Indigenous focused course, let alone an Indigenous Latin America course. I was super excited to take this course, it was calling to me as people say. Through the weekly blog posts and discussion and analysis in class, this course has exercised my small ability of delving deeply and critically into a literary piece of text. I found it exciting to come into class and to learn from my all of you and our professor. I did not know much prior on the peoples we have studied throughout the course and although I have felt this way before, now more than ever do I feel much resentment toward our present reality under late stage capitalism. Everything is truly never enough. I keep coming back to the line in the Popol Vuh where it says that those who read the original text have hidden their faces. This sentence does not imply the destruction of the faces, however, and that leads me to be optimistic of our future. As seen throughout this course, unhidden faces have been parsed out, although not as fully as in the past. Here I am speaking of the described ways of life written in the works of Guaman Poma, or through Rigoberta Menchu, and especially in Kopenawa’s recounts. On the other hand, we have also learned a lot of the types of work being done in the recent past and presently to resist complete annihilation of culture through enforced assimilation, seen with the last three books especially. We have tried to define Indigenous voice, and get lost on the grounds of authenticity and what that even means. Would Marcos voice be considered Indigenous? How about authentic? If the author collaborator of Kopenawa, Bruce Albert, were to drop his name and credentials, drop his ‘I’ and become ‘Other’ next to Kopenawa, would he be considered an Indigenous? My final thoughts here on this course revolve around emancipation of all peoples who have been forced to navigate and/or come into contact with imposed Western ideals. We have definitely been taught that nothing is lost, maybe some things hidden, and seen through the popularization of these works and Marcos’ forums, many globally are entirely fed up. How exciting.
