Indigenous community triumphs in suspending mining operations

Hi!, today I will write about an article of The Santiago Times. It's entitled: "Indigenous community triumphs in suspending mining operations", article published on October, 2014. Link: http://santiagotimes.cl/indigenous-community-triumphs-in-suspending-mining-operations/

This article says about the conflict of the communities of North of Chile with the mine of the corporation Goldcorp. What is the conflict? is about the contamination produced by extraction of minerals, in mines by foreign corporations, in others words, relates with ecological damage for example in rivers and contamination of water and also says about the invasion in the "sacred land" of the Diaguitas.

Why is this importart to Anthropology? Because it's about of indigenous community and your relation with the land, water and territory. Also is important to this discipline, because is a theoretical problem expressed in reality.

I think that this article is mainly informative and no contains references to experts in the field, but  tells about an unknown topic for many people and is a notice so much important (in my opinion) that other things that give on TV or newspapers.

Every picture tells a story...

San Antonio, Región de Valparaíso, 2015

This picture is of my holydays of this year with my best friends. The story behind this picture is very comic. In the summer, we all work so hard xD for become here. We were in the house of one of my friends in San Antonio for two weeks. 

This day, we outside to visit the "Cueva del Pirata", but we were wait 1 hour for visit...so we decided to get something to eat while waiting. There was a place where they sold empanadas and drinks so we bought five...and waited.

We have so much hungry!!! But were not ready the empanadas. We waited half and hour, and my boyfriend say: I'm going  to claim...and we were all annoying >:(. Short story: the empanadas never arrived :(. We asked money back..and the "Cueva del Pirata" was history, the hunger was bigger!!

Later, We laughed at what happened...we were waiting a long time for nothing xD, but the good point is that we take us many photos at the edge of rockery :)

So....every day it happened every story....Were a nice holidays.

A video clip that I like

When I was small child I saw this video for first time and I didn’t understand anything of the music and nothing of the video. Because this my sister and I were afraid to see this video for the part of the childrens falling into the meat grinde. Now I understand this part of video, but my sister prefers not to see that video again, Is a trauma for she xD

Whatever, after when I was so much older (adolescent) I heard this song again with the video, but I do not undertand completely the word of the song. Now, and in the past in the school, I know this great band, Pink Floyd, and this band become in one of my favorites with your song and video "Another Brick in the Wall”.

A small confession: I don’t believe in this Time, I still have not seen this movie of This Song :( This year I promise see that.
