Starter 9.15: What examples have you seen of indigenous activism and/or resistance in U.S. History? (past or present...)
1. What ideology did European explorers bring with them to the Americas? What were their values and their motivations?
2. How did it differ from the ideology of the indigenous peoples that inhabited the lands? (What do we know about this? How do some indigenous belief systems differ from "Western" ones?)
3. Why were these ideologies in conflict?
4. How do we see these ideological conflicts manifest in modern times? Can you think of other examples beyond the Cochabamba protests?
What other questions do you have that will help you write the TEA paragraph? The questions again....
1. How does this film juxtapose historical events to make ideological connections across time? What are these connections? (How can we view “La Conquista” on the same ideological timeline as the events in Cochabamba in 2000? See Wikipedia links below if you want to expand your knowledge of La Conquista and/or the Cochabamba protests.)
2. Why is this film called Tambien la Lluvia (Even the Rain)? What does this have to do with the ideological conflict portrayed in the movie?
