During our lives, we have been
told that the conquer of any place includes the extinction of the habitants of
the territory or the imposition of the new culture by transforming the old ones
into slaves.
The situation in Dawson’s Island
was not very different to the rest of the story of our country. The story of
Dawson’s Island is full of selknam's blood and impositions of the colonial
people.
In my opinion the documental was
full of critics, but also full of feelings of the people that suffered the fact
of being political prisoners just for the reasons of being part of Allende’s
government.
I didn't live in that period of
the history so I think that I'm not the person with the rights to tell which
government was the right or the wrong. However I can say, with all the rights
that being a human concerns me, that nobody has the enough power or superiority
of taking anyone from their places as a prisoner without any reason. Besides, I
believe that the period of the history of Chile was important and the people
have the right to visit and know what happened in that place, so nobody can
prohibit to Chilean people to visit a place as important as Dawson’s Island. We
can let the past in the past, but the memories in the territory will remain.
pretty nice and partial opinion without forgetting the importance of memory :)
