A few notes

As we finish our discussion of the film Smoke Signals, be ready to draw comparisons between US history (as seen in our readings: Zinn, Takaki, Wikipedia - get them if you haven't already!) of treatment of their first peoples, and the history of Argentina's pueblos originarios. Thanks again to Natalia for showing us the following links, which can be a good punto de partida for some more discussions:

Regarding MOVIE NIGHT:
Unfortunately, as we're still making arrangements to have the technology available for Movie Night, our next Movie Night will be Wednesday, June 25. By then, for sure, I'll have it together. There will be lots of food to celebrate our re-inauguration of Movie Night, too!
