Relevance and knowledge of Indigenous cultures and people

Trump administration announced new rules that would fundamentally change who can immigrate to and stay in the United States. President Trump has himself used the term invaders to describe immigrants coming across that same border, and the new immigration rules he put in place are the latest in a parade of policies and rhetoric from his White House that target migrants from Mexico and Latin America. Where is Dora from? So this was a very important question because it would dictate the rest of the show. Dora is Pan-Latino. We are building bridges, not erecting barriers. Cortes suggested that they frame Dora as a cross-cultural problem-solver and because Dora was able to speak both English and Spanish, she was able to bridge and build a team with monolinguals of two different languages. Cortes said, look - there are Latinos in the United States of all kinds of backgrounds, and I think it's important that kids of different Latino backgrounds be able to identify with Dora.  Dora dances, plays games, and speaks Spanish. Dora craze didn't stop there. The show was adapted into over 25 languages. And aside from effects, Dora in many ways is more real than in the animated series mostly because she's an actual human being. Dora was part of the process of affecting the values of young people to make inclusivity a more important value. Have you ever watched Dora? What did you think about her? Did you opinion change after you read the blog?
