Hey guys, my name is David and I’m attending this semester’s Colonial Latin America Class. I’m from Pittsburgh, Pennslyvania and my intended major is either gonna be in International Studies or Computer Science. My dream goal is to work for the NSA as an Agent or apart of the counter-terrorism division at the United Nations.

Now as for this Colonial Latin America course, I think what I want to learn most from it is how South American Spanish identities (Chilean, Argentinian, Colombian for example) managed to form during this time period. But as for specifics, I actually really enjoy Chilean history (especially during the late 19th century and the 1970s) and would like to learn about the various native peoples that lived in its present day borders. Since to me, I’m not entirely sure who lived in Chiles borders besides maybe the Quechans and Aymarans in the north.
