Avevo invece scoperto che per persone come me non esiste una reale distanza tra lâartista e lâarte, ci viene richiesto di essere la stessa cosa: piĂș accettavo questo, meno ero libera di avere unâidentitĂ mia, slegata dal mercato delle tendenze. La libertĂ era una tresca.

Through her research of urban, Indigenous youth, postdoctoral fellow Rachel Talbert offers insight for educators to facilitate more honest, inclusive social studies curriculum
This core principle of civic participation is at the crux of Talbertâs research on the experiences of Indigenous high school students in Washington, the impact of the stateâs Since Time Immemorial Curriculumâ and participation in a Native Youth Council on their civic identities. Hereâs what other educators can keep in mind to build more rewarding, accurate curriculum:
Acknowledge the colonized nature of civics and social studies curriculum.
Discuss Indigenous experiences of the past and present to A) cultivate civic identity and B) help everyone participate in the democratic process.

Can we embrace our indigenous features, dark or tan skin, and dark hair more in Latin America? Rather than extremely powdering our faces with white make up , putting fake color contacts, or bleaching our hair trying to fit into some weird European beauty standard. It has now developed into some form of obsession on the white American and / or European culture and their beautification ideals . A culture that is not and never will be our own. Can we please have more dark skin indigenous models and beauty representation more than the white light skin non indigenous latino / Latina ? Being tan and having brown skin is beautiful more than being pale. Letâs aim to have that indigenous dark skin representation more as our appealing role model rather than letting white American or European beauty standards try to brainwash us that this is the only true meaning of beauty or âtrying to fit inâ. Our beauty standard is NOT blonde hair and pale white skin. Our true beauty standard is our glorious tan / brown / dark skin and brown / dark color hair. Thatâs our true embodiment of beauty .
It might be an unpopular opinion, I am not a fan of the westernization culture and attire in Peru. I get that we embrace and celebrate our Andean roots and all, but it doesnât feel (or never feels) enough. Why do I care to conform to westernization ways and influence in our culture . Really think about it , why is it not normal or why is it not normalize to wear our traditional âcholita/cholitoâ clothes to school or work? Why is it not normalize to learn or speak Quechua in our schools? Even as a 3rd language option. Why donât we have enough public tv shows representing the traditional Andean community even like a telenovela / soap opera. It feels like culture erasing and / or white washing and / or âblanqueamientoâ as they call it. I love being tan and brown , but is why our Peruvian media so white? That is not how we generally look. We are very mixed and dark. Well I am not mixed I am andino , but you get the point. Even in our tv shows and architecture it doesnât embrace our traditional Andean community enough. There should be Quechua subtitles and an interpreter in our news , tv and media outlets. It feels like social oppression where you have no choice , but to conform to something that you are not. I am fine with our society evolving and growing, however, I want it done in our own way. Not by enforcing only westernization influence (American and European) that is not originally ours or created by us. I am fighting that everyday in our society.

I was going to rant how much I hate the lady k for the nerve to bribe and wipe away the indigenous community / population . How she didnât think her father did any wrong and to think the mining companiesâ exploitation is still ok as long she pays the indigenous that live there to continue on the atrocities. We wonât make it past 5 years alone without the mercury poisoning and cancer symptoms take over and end us. We value our lives more , not the corporate money. For our entire lives , We see the effects itâs has playing in our community . Yet majority of the Peruvian population could care less if their own kind gets annihilated. This only applies to the indigenous and the reservations in non coastal Peru, I know this is racism , regionalism, and brainwashing from my own kind.
Today something else got bigger momentum and backlash in regards to Peru worldwide. There is now a new, strong stereotype forming on peruvian women, that majority of Peruvian women are âmarrying white foreign men for their papers â, âthey are desperate for the papersâ, â they have been brought up wrongâ, â their parents teaching them to better the race so they have to strive to get with a white foreign manâ, â les gustan el pollo crudoâ, â that are brainwashed to love white peopleâ, â that they think they are doing something right by looking for a white guy and getting hitched in the land of the exploiters and colonizersâ, â mejorar la razaâ, âeasyâ, âdesperateâ, âbrainwashedâ, âacting like my empleada who flirted with every white guy she saw until she finally got marriedâ, etc. What are you peruanas doing? This is really embarrassing. Are we normalizing that getting married to a white guy is every peruvian womenâs goal dream for papers to the land of the exploiter and colonizer now? Are we going to be okay with the dating services that are getting promoted on here to pimp the Peruvian women out to foreign men? I donât understand why our people think this is normal, acceptable behavior and mentality to display that all you really want in our societalâs accomplished dreams is to get married to white foreign men. The issue is really within ourselves now. This behavior and mentality is not okay. I want to eliminate the push and social pressure we all get from everyone in Peru in regards to marriage. There is so much more to live for than to just to get married and have children. Please donât just live your life thinking marriage is the only thing to strive for and dream to have out of satisfaction. Be okay and satisfy without marriage and children.
The true Peruvian identity is not machu pichu, the selection or the pisco sour. The true Peruvian identity is the internalized racism, the complexes, that make one aspire to be, think and act as racist targets (although that aspiration also generates violence against them) and live denying that this is their true identity. What is the future of a nation with a majority that despises and denies its heritage, that does not want to learn its history or its languages, that dreams of âimproving the raceâ or being âEuropeâ (the white Europe that is seen in ig, because Europe is not a paradise) and what do you choose, do you make the conscious decision to look the other way instead of facing the psychological and social consequences of the colonization and enslavement of your indigenous, African and Asian ancestors? What is the future for those of us who are not considered "real Peruvians" in a land that treats people with disgust who do fit the stereotype of the "real Peruvian"?
On a general subject, am I the only advocate for higher education for lower income families that canât afford or easily access private education for their children even in rural areas of Peru? Or are privileged Peruvian through generational classism ( perhaps through being white or light skinned and culture erasing ) too concern over more concerning self centered issues due to the fact that they were privilege with a maid, chauffeur, or easily being able to attend school? Right, I digress people from the white washed coastal areas of Peru just want to silence the folks from the rural areas. Or in other words the rich privilege versus the rural poor on a general subject matter. We got to do better about empathy and inclusion.
A definite change of environment by region of the country and just like that you are in a whole new world. The LGBTQ population is more accepted and embrace in Iquitos compare to Lima ( technically anywhere in Peru) . In Iquitos the people are more closed knitted than the coastal folks. Kind of consider a party city, since the LGBTQ population is pre dominant there the Peruvians would go around blaming the hormones in the fruit called Aguaje as a result of the high lgbtq population. They would also blame the aguaje fruit for making the most beautiful women they have supposedly seen on the country lol. At least they embrace the people now compare to 25 years ago, and I gotta say I love my aunties with their pet monkeys and the achunis. I love my pet achuni even though he goes around destroying my curtains.
