Early this morning, the 2017 lineup for the Sasquatch! Music Festival was announced on its official website.

Twenty One Pilots, Chance the Rapper and Frank Ocean will be headlining the event. Other notable artists include alternative rock band The Shins, EDM duo Big Gigantic, Pittsburgh-area rapper Mac Miller and indie band Car Seat Headrest. Portlandia star and Saturday Night Live comedian Fred Armisen will also be making an appearance.

General admission tickets for this year’s festival will go on sale Saturday, Jan. 28, at 10 a.m. The three-day festival will last from May 26-28 over Memorial Day Weekend.

When Sasquatch! announced that it would be cutting an entire day from its lineup, many people took to social media to speculate that the festival was doing this in order to draw bigger-

name acts by consolidating their funds.

In 2014 Sasquatch! expanded by adding a second weekend in July, but the festival quickly reverted to just one weekend the following year. Attendance has steadily dropped since then. In June, the Oregonian reported that last year’s festival had half as large a draw as in 2015 with 11,000 ticket holders attending the festival.

At midnight, a post on the social media sharing and discussion website Reddit appeared to leak the announcement video for the 2017 Sasquatch!

Music Festival lineup. The same video appeared this morning on the festival’s website, confirming the full lineup.

Climate change rally seeks to educate and draw attention ➥ JARRID

FIELD, @ANDYTSUBASAF

Former University of Oregon English professor & founder of the UO Ethnic Studies Department Edwin Coleman II passed away on Jan. 23 from influenza-related conditions. He was 84 years old.

After Coleman received his Ph.D in theater in 1971 from UO, the university hired him as an English professor. Coleman modified courses to include more African-American literature and authors of other minority groups because he wanted to expand student perspectives on racism and economic disparity.

Coleman also shared his stories of growing up in the 1950s and ‘60s.

Donella-Elizabeth Alston in the UO Department of Ethnic Studies remembers Coleman for his intelligence, graciousness and will to teach. “Education was a huge principal that he stood for,� Alston said, “If you were struggling with barriers, he was more than willing to help you get past them.�

Coleman’s work influenced the Ethnic Studies department at the UO, which he co-chaired in 1981.

Four years later, he served as the director of the department until his retirement in 1998.

Before his career with UO, Coleman was a professional bass player, touring across the country playing with renowned musicians The Emerald is published

such as Ella Fitzgerald. Coleman first picked up an instrument at a traveling blackface minstrel show when he was five-years-old.

Coleman’s father took him backstage, where a violinist said to him, “‘Do you want to play this thing, boy?’� and Coleman simply replied, “yeah,� according to an interview with the Daily Emerald Podcast Network.

During his undergrad years at San Francisco State University, he engaged in civil rights activism along with members of the Congress of Racial Equality. Coleman attended sit-ins and fought for equal opportunity in housing, which eventually led to a meeting with Martin Luther King in San Francisco, according to a Register-Guard article from June 2016.

At UO, Coleman taught AfricanAmerican literature courses for 30 years and also served as a mentor for Black students. In the early 1970s, UO president Robert Clarke called on Coleman to be a liaison between the school and a student involved in a Black Panther Party march to protest racial inequality facing Black Americans.

Coleman is survived by his wife, Charmaine Coleman, sons Edwin and Callan and two grandchildren.

Coleman’s memorial service is Tuesday, Jan. 31, according to the Register-Guard.

University of Oregon students planned a walkout and rally on the afternoon of Jan. 23 to stand up against newly-elected President Donald Trump’s staunch climate change denial stance. The event, planned to stretch from 1 to 3 p.m., shut down about 30 minutes early.

Marley Griffiths, a UO freshman, heard about the event on Facebook but didn’t leave class to attend. “I think I was expecting a bigger crowd but I know people had class,� Griffiths said.

The rally, hosted by the Climate Justice League, was billed as a walkout to resist Trump and his cabinet’s streak of climate change denial. Trump has said he will reverse Barack Obama’s climate change combat efforts. “We’re just showing our support and resistance to climate change and what Trump is so obviously displaying,� Selena Blick, co-director of the Climate Justice League, said. “We’re trying to empower students on campus to voice their support on this issue.�

Sociology professor John Foster said he had “some bad news� for the crowd of 70 that sat around the EMU Amphitheater on Monday afternoon. “We are in a very, very serious situation,� said Foster. “When we

are talking about the carbon budget, we are talking about the point of no return.�

Few walked out of class early in protest of Trump, but the rally was successful in attracting passersby between classes.

According to Foster, humanity was going to go over the climate cliff despite the Paris agreement and cleanenergy initiatives spurred on by the most recent president. “Under Trump, everything is worse,� he said Rachel Penrose, a first year biology major, said the rally caught her attention on her way to class.

She didn’t know about the rally but stopped to listen to speakers explain the history of climate change denial. “This is a good way to help people become more educated,� Penrose said. “It’s the best place to start to try to organize something.�

According to Blick, the University of Oregon branch of the Climate Justice League planned Monday’s walkout after hearing about similar protests at universities around the country.

For more about the origin of this movement and what the organizers hope will come next, read the rest of this article at Dailyemerald.com.

BONNIE, @HBONNIE03

What was supposed to be the biggest race of Hannah Cunliffe’s life ended in tears.

During the prelims for the 100-meter dash at the 2016 NCAA Outdoor Championships, Cunliffe, a favorite to win the title, began to cry, her face in a pained grimace, before pulling out of the race midway through.

She exited the track and later took to Twitter to explain that she had sustained a hamstring injury to her right leg.

What started as an uncomfortable spasm during practice may have cost the Ducks the repeat of the national title since the points that Cunliffe was expected to score were necessary to close the 10-point gap between Oregon and the eventual winner, Arkansas.

The ill-timed injury also cost Cunliffe a potential chance at a lifetime dream, competing at the Olympics.

After a summer of frustration and missed opportunities, Cunliffe has returned to the track and could be the most important piece of Oregon’s loaded sprint core that has its eyes set on an NCAA title.

“She’s done a fantastic job in [the tests],” Oregon head coach Robert Johnson said. “She’s someone that came to us last year and showed early promise, and then did well throughout the year.”

Oregon teammates Ariana Washington and Deajah Stevens, who did their best to make up for Cunliffe’s absence at NCAA’s, represented the United States at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics last summer, while Cunliffe stayed home, impatiently recovering.

“When Hannah got hurt, it was heartbreaking,” Stevens said. “Being around someone and knowing how hard they work for something and then seeing it get taken away from them, it’s frustrating.”

It wasn’t until the beginning of the 2017 season that Cunliffe was able to run again. When she came back, she was better than before. Her results on yearly tests to check athlete progress were very encouraging.

After the season Cunliffe had last year, in which she was honored with the Pac-12 Women’s Track Athlete of the Year title, she had a chance to make the Olympic team in either

the 100, 200 or, like Washington, the 4x100 relay.

“I was really excited for my teammates, but it was also kind of frustrating at the same time because I wish I was there with them,” Cunliffe said. “But I think it definitely made me a lot stronger and more motivated for the season.”

Before Oregon, Cunliffe ran at University of Oklahoma during her freshman year. She was the runnerup in the 60-meter at the 2015 Big 12 Indoor Championships, clocking a time of 7.28, a personal best at the time. After competing at only one meet during the outdoor season, Cunliffe transferred with four years of eligibility remaining for the outdoor season and three for indoor.

Since her arrival, Cunliffe’s personal goal to “outwork everyone” has pushed her teammates to improve, especially Washington.

“I think Hannah coming in really kind of pushed me because once Jenna [Prandini] left I kind of felt like I was going to be by myself,” Washington said. “She’s a really really hard worker, and sometimes I’m not.”

Last Saturday, Cunliffe ran her first race since the injury — the 60-meter dash at the UW Indoor Preview. She faced a deep field of athletes, including Washington and Stevens, who Cunliffe cited as her top competition.

With an NCAA-leading time of 7.19, the fifth-fastest in school history, Cunliffe took the win. She beat out Washington sophomore Kennadi Bouyer and Oregon freshman Makenzie Dunmore by .1 second, both who clocked times of 7.29.

“I just go into a meet, and I just want to execute what I’m doing in practice,” Cunliffe said after the race.

“My goal is to win the race.”

With such an encouraging start to the season, Cunliffe is excited to see what the rest of the year holds.

With a heartbreaking end to her sophomore season behind her, Cunliffe could qualify for the 2017 IAAF World Championships in London and compete in her first international competition since the 2013 World Junior Championships.

“You just gotta come in every day with a positive attitude and a motivational tool to just push yourself,” Cunliffe said. “Doesn’t matter how hard the workout is.”

OREGON TRUFFLES ➥ SARAROSA

D AV I E S , @ S R O S I E D O S I E Illustration by Teddy Tsai

espite the rain and thick fog that often blankets the Oregon Coast Range, 79-year-old Lee Yamada spent his day in a grim forest with a rake in hand. With his eyes cast toward the ground and rain dripping down his blue hood, he searched the mossy forest floor for a hidden gem — a mushroom known as the Oregon truffle.

Although Yamada didn’t find any on his first outing, like many others, he plans on foraging again. The North American Truffling Society is a Corvallis-based organization that hosts educational events and monthly forays such as the one Yamada participated in. As the Oregon truffle’s popularity grows, so does the community that surrounds it.

Known for their rarity and aromatic variety, Oregon truffles are a culinary delicacy that add complexity to many dishes.

Although they haven’t always held the prestige of their wider-known French and Italian counterparts, an ounce of Oregon truffles costs $30 to $45 at specialty grocers in Eugene.

Oregon truffles are now edging out their European competition for a variety of reasons, a prominent one being the Oregon Truffle Festival, founded by University of Oregon alum Dr. Charles Lefevre 12 years ago.

The Oregon Truffle Festival features a dinner and buffet, a marketplace and other educational events. Lefevre aims to teach everyone from experts to first-timers about what he calls the fruit of the mushroom world. “When you think of truffles in North America, Oregon is the place that comes to mind,� Lefevre said. “They are really everywhere.�

Since ripe truffles have a strong aroma, a well-trained dog can find them with ease. People without trained dogs use wide rakes to uncover truffles. The latter method tends to be hit-or-miss.

Eric Lyon, a professional truffle forager in Portland, said that the rakes used to commercially harvest truffles often pull up some that aren’t ripe.

On the coastal foray, Austin Carter Browder and his girlfriend were out

looking with their newly trained dog, Fenrir.

Browder trained Fenrir by putting truffle oil on a piece of paper and hiding it around their house.

Eventually, Browder hid the scented pieces of paper outside. This was their first time foraging for actual truffles. “Many people are captivated by this sense that it’s like an Easter egg hunt,�

Lefevre added. “These treasures in the woods are hidden and you search all over the place for them.�

Stephanie Pearl Kimmel owns Provisions Market Hall, a specialty grocer in Eugene that sells truffles.

Kimmel first tried an Oregon truffle in the 1990s. It was harvested by rake rather than with a trained dog’s sense of smell. Her first experience was underwhelming because the truffle was not ripe. Now, Kimmel appreciates the unique mushroom more after tasting a ripe one. “We have so many amazing ingredients here. To add another one, it was like discovering a hidden treasure,� she said.

There are two types of Oregon truffles: black and white. Some people describe an Oregon black truffle’s taste as similar to pineapple. Lefevre describes the Oregon white truffle as something that “you experience in your sinuses.�

Once an edible truffle is found, it can be used in a range of dishes and recipes, some of which will appear at the Oregon Truffle Festival. Tickets for the marketplace and the Joriad, a truffle dog competition, are $15 each.

The Market of Choice on Franklin Boulevard sells most of its truffle products near the cheese section.

There are bries and chevres with French black truffles. The store also sells Oregon white truffle oils and salts.

The Oregon Electric Station, a restaurant commonly visited by UO students when parents come to town, has truffle fries on its menu and Little Big Burger does too.

Kimmel uses the elusive mushroom in many ways at her restaurant, Marche. Heat destroys the aroma that a truffle is known for, Kimmel said, so it’s best to use them as accents rather than in actual cooking.

This is Lee Yamada’s first time foraging for truffles. He grew up foraging for mushrooms with his parents. (Will Campbell) Fenrir is a newly trained truffle dog. On his first hunt, he didn’t find any. (Will Campbell)

Romeo and Juliet at Wildish Theater January 27th-29th

đ&#x;“… CALENDAR

Romeo and Juliet at Wildish Community Theater ➥

ZACH PRICE, @ZACH_PRICE24

This weekend, Springfield’s Wildish Community Theater will host a performance of William Shakespeare’s classic play Romeo and Juliet. The theater will be decorated with a three-quarter sized replica of London’s Globe Theater, which is where Shakespeare first premiered Romeo and Juliet over four centuries ago. The performances will run Jan. 27 through Jan. 29. “People who have ever seen [The Globe Theater] look at our replica they say, ‘Oh it’s the Globe’ because it looks just like it,� said Judith “Sparky� Roberts, the play’s artistic director.

The replica was built by the Lane Community College Performing Arts and Theater department several years ago. This is the first production outside of LCC that will use the set. It features an elegant backdrop of a Renaissance-style mansion along with the iconic balcony where Juliet confesses her love for Romeo.

It can be argued that Romeo and Juliet is just as relevant now as when it was written in the 16th century. The play follows a young couple as they pursue a relationship forbidden by their feuding families, the Montagues and Capulets.

Incorporating themes of fate, tragedy and duality, Romeo and Juliet is often considered to be one of the most famous and influential works ever written. Roberts has updated certain aspects of the play to fit today’s society.

Roberts has 40 years of acting and directing experience and 33 years of teaching performing arts. This will be her 12th time directing one of

PA G E 2

E ME R A L D C A L E N DA R

T H U R S D AY, J A N U A R Y 2 6 , 2 0 1 7

Shakespeare’s plays.

Despite studying and performing Shakespeare’s plays for her much of her career, Roberts said she and the crew still get excited to work with his scripts. “We get a real charge out of doing Shakespeare,� Roberts said. “We relish the language. We try to taste it and chew it and then deliver it in a way that’s really delicious.�

The title roles will be portrayed by local thespians Cloud Pemble and Nicole Trobaugh.

Former Oregon Shakespeare Festival actors Joe Cronin and Maya Thomas play Friar Laurence and the Nurse, respectively.

The production also includes several current University of Oregon students as well as a video produced by recent UO film graduate Jordyn Roach. Working closely with Roberts, Roach developed a video in the artistic style of Chiaroscuro, a technique developed during the Renaissance that creates a dramatic effect by using strong tonal contrasts.

The multimedia aspect of the play is one of the ways Roberts has brought the play into the 21st century. This version of Romeo and Juliet isn’t necessarily ultra-modern, but it embraces the cultural and technological advancements that have occurred over the past four centuries. “The humanity [Shakespeare] brings to his characters is so enduring,� Roberts said. “Geniuses like Shakespeare and Mozart kind of make being a human being more meaningful.

They’ve left a legacy that is unerasable.

Something about the quality Shakespeare brought out of humans is permanent.�

Another challenge of directing such a popular play is getting audiences to pay for something they’re familiar with or may have already seen.

Shakespeare is often considered to be the most influential playwright of all time, but the language he uses in his work can intimidate people and scare them away from attending his plays. “People don’t go because they think they won’t understand it,� Roberts said. “It’s true that some of the words have changed over time, but in context with the actors and the set, anyone can understand it. Whether the words are a little bit unfamiliar or not, the [audience] gets it.�

Roberts understands this challenge, but she believes that whether audience members are seeing the play for the first time or the fortieth, Romeo and Juliet can be an enriching experience. “A knowledge of Shakespeare not only deepens people’s understanding of English literature and language, but also themselves,� Roberts said. “The issues that he wrote about and the people he wrote about are always relevant.�

General tickets cost $22 and can be found at Wildish website, tickets@wildishtheater.com. A grant from the Oregon Cultural Trust has made a limited amount of special $5 tickets available for students and seniors. Once those tickets are gone, regular student and senior tickets will available for $15.

This Grammy award-winning group will be making a stop in Eugene this weekend to share their blend of world and a capella style of music. Founded by frontman Joseph Shabalala in the early 1960’s, this South African group considers themselves a form of musical preservation of heritage just as much as they are entertainers. Their unique sound is derived from the traditional African musical style of Isicathamiya, which was first developed by miners in the early 1900’s. After being captured and forced to work for European mining companies, South Africans would sing this style of music in their native tongue, Zulu.

The group got their first big break when American folk musician Paul Simon enlisted Ladysmith Black Mambazo to sing backing vocals for a track on his critically-acclaimed album Graceland. Simon later produced their first record in 1998. The album went on to win a Grammy for best Folk recording. Since then, the group has been nominated for 15 Grammys and completed several worldwide tours.

Kimmel will be a featured chef at the truffle festival this weekend.

There will be a buffet event at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art on campus for ticket holders. Kimmel will also be preparing a prix-fixe menu featuring three courses using truffles.

“I always want to be very connected with where my ingredients are coming from,” Kimmel said. “We are amazingly blessed here with what we have.”

Kimmel adorns pasta with shredded truffles or infuses desserts with them.

She foraged once with Lefevre and found it very satisfying to cook with a truffle she uncovered on that outing. Lefevre and other people in the foraging community call this curious feeling “catching the mushroom bug.” This passion is a common thread among those involved in the Oregon mushroom world, including scientists.

With a striped sweater and tattoos covering his arms, UO biology instructor Roo Vandegrift doesn’t look like a standard biologist.

Vandegrift brings students from his mycology courses foraging.

He has yet to find any on his trips, though he’s not discouraged.

“Truffles take a fine touch,” Vandegrift said, noting that truffles aren’t the only edible mushrooms that he and his classes search for.

Yamada and the other foragers had better luck under the gray coastal sky. They found a few mushrooms and two truffles: one edible, one not.

Still, they kept raking the ground and encouraging their dogs.

Foraging isn’t the only way they appreciate truffles. Many of those who attended the foray plan on going to the Oregon Truffle Festival intent on trying new truffle-infused foods.

“The genesis of the festival was the idea that we could bring some old world culture to life in Oregon, the celebration of food and these local ingredients that is unique to this place,” Lefevre said. “Oregon truffles are emblematic of all of that.”

A forager rakes for truffles in an Oregon Coast forest. (Will Campbell)

TRUFFLE FACTS Oregon is known for producing white and black truffles.

Truffles are a species of the genus Tuber and are the ‘fruit’ of mycorrhizal fungi.

Truffles have a symbiotic relationship with their host trees.

Host trees native to Oregon include Douglas Fir and pines.

A rhizopogon is a non-edible truffle.

Sometimes it is known as a “false truffle.”

A forager finds a rock and inspects it, hoping it is a truffle.

U.S. Funds Palestinian Terrorism Tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars are spent annually to pay salaries to Palestinian terrorists who murder innocent civilians in Israel.

To prop up the virtually bankrupt Palestinian Authority (P.A.), the U.S. sends Palestinians more than $400 million a year in aid. The P.A., however, spends some $140 million annually to reward jihadists and their families for murderous acts that kill innocent Americans and Israelis.

What are the facts?

In June 2016, 13-year-old Hallal Yaffa Ariel to terrorists and their families. In the face of was stabbed to death in her bed by a Palestinian mounting criticism of such hypocrisy from terrorist who broke into her family’s home. In Western nations, however, the P.A. concocted a March of this year, 28-year-old Taylor Force, a deceitful shell game, seeking to hide its support West Point graduate and two-tour U.S. army of terror by changing what used to be termed veteran from Texas, was killed as he strolled with “salaries” to “assistance” and shifting distribution his wife in Jaffa by a knife-wielding Palestinian. duties from the P.A. to the Palestinian Liberation Hailed as heroic Organization, which jihadist martyrs does not directly foreign by the Palestinian “You can’t be a partner in peace receive funding. So far, Authority, both when you are paying people to this sham seems terrorists and their to have satisfied families now receive commit terrorist acts.” some of the gullible monthly stipends Senator Lindsey Graham nations that support from the P.A. the Palestinian For more than Authority.

At last, Palestinian government has openly used aid donations from the U.S. and other countries to members of Congress are introducing legislation motivate and reward terrorists. Depending on to prevent U.S. aid from supporting this culture of the number of people murdered in a terrorist jihadist terror. Senators Dan Coats, Roy Blunt and attack, salaries range from $364 to $3,100 per Lindsey Graham, for example, have introduced month. Terrorists with families and who die in legislation to end financial aid to the Palestinian the act or are captured and sentenced to 30 years Authority until it stops incentivizing terrorism. or more receive the highest allowances. These Senator Graham has noted that “You can’t be a expenditures—a hefty $140 million per year— partner in peace when you are paying people to make up an estimated 10% of the Palestinian commit terrorist acts.”

However, both the U.S. and Israel fear that Authority’s total budget.

In addition to financial incentives for terror, cutting funding to the Palestinian Authority jihadists also receive abundant moral support could destabilize the Palestinian government, from the Palestinian government. Palestinian preferring a duplicitous P.A. to Hamas or Islamic president Mahmoud Abbas has said, “We welcome State. Lamentably, those familiar with the every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem. This corrupt P.A. know that expectations of reforming is pure blood, clean blood . . . With the help of it anytime soon are fantasy.

But surely funding a Palestinian terror Allah, every martyr will be in heaven, and every program that kills Americans and Israelis cannot wounded will get his reward.”

U.S. Payments to the Palestinian Authority. serve the long-term interests of the United According to a Congressional Research Service States or Israel. Cutting off aid to the P.A. is a report, the U.S. since the mid-1990s has move in the right direction, but it is inadequate, contributed more than $5 billion in security since it doesn’t address the Palestinian culture assistance and bilateral economic aid to the of Jew hatred and denial of Israel’s right to exist P.A., and American taxpayers’ current annual as a Jewish state, both of which beliefs make any commitment is now some $400 million. In fact, notion of peace impossible.

Unfortunately, the Palestinian government Palestinians are the world’s largest per-capita perpetuates in its media, mosques and schools recipients of international aid.

While a 2014 State Department report the myths that Jews have no rights to sovereignty praised the Palestinian Authority for making in the Holy Land and that all non-Muslims, “terrorism financing a criminal offense,” the P.A. even innocent civilians, are laudable targets for still has laws on its books mandating payments terrorist attacks.

Libels of genocide against Israel are attempts to delegitimize solely the Jewish state among all the world’s nations and are therefore anti-Semitic. What’s more, such racist accusations alienate not only Jewish allies of the Black Lives Matter movement, but also other political progressives who will be repulsed by defamation of Israel.

đ&#x;’ť FILM & TV Martin Scorsese brings his passion project to life with the profound and deeply religious ‘Silence’ ➥ DANA

ALSTON, @ALSTONDALSTON

Silence, an adaptation of Shusaku Endo’s controversial 1966 novel of the same name, deals directly with the contradictions of devout religious belief. The story follows a pair of Portuguese Jesuit missionaries, Sebastiao Rodrigues (Andrew Garfield) and Francisco Garrupe (Adam Driver) who travel to Japan in the 17th century. They have heard their mentor and fellow Jesuit, Fr. Ferreira (Liam Neeson) has renounced his faith publicly amid violent persecution and torture.

This cannot be, they decide.

Ferreira, widely revered for his devotion to God, must have found the strength to resist. They believe it is their duty to find him and spread the gospel, in a country whose government views Christianity as a direct threat to their culture. They stow away on a trade ship and sneak into Japan, emboldened by their faith but unaware of the misery that awaits them.

What follows is a contemplative, brutal journey, fraught with troubling questions. It is a perfect fit for Martin Scorsese, a director whose greatest films focus on the morality of sinners. Raging Bull, long considered his masterpiece, followed boxer Jake LaMotta, who subjected

himself to horrific violence in the ring as a method of punishment for his regrets. The Wolf of Wall Street, Scorsese’s most recent film, put the depravity of Wall Street mogul Jordan Belfort on display and wondered whether his evilness was in all of us.

On the surface, it seems odd that Scorsese would choose Silence to follow a black comedy like Wolf.

But the filmmaker has been trying to adapt Endo’s novel for more than two decades, finally committing to its completion in 2013. He would not make another film, he declared, until Silence was finished.

His devotion to the project is evident in the care with which it is shot. Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto delivers consistently breathtaking moments over the film’s three hours; it is the most visually arresting film of Scorsese’s career.

For more on the actors who contribute to the dramatic weight of the film and the questions posed by Scorsese’s work, read the rest of the article at Dailyemerald.com.

OPINION

The United Nations office at Geneva. Because of their values and ties to their native cultures, Americans need to be defined as all North and South Americans. (FalconÂŽ Photography/Flikr)

Expand the definition of American Being an “American� is an identity and name that many citizens and residents of the United States use to identify themselves. It is used exclusively in popular culture, literature and journalism in reference to the citizens of this country of 318.9 million. Being American is synonymous with being a part of a country that values democracy, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.

However, these traits are not exclusive to the United States. In fact, these ideals and commitments to justice appear in a multitude of constitutions across the world. These ideas are most poignant and sacred in a specific area of the world: North America and South America. This suggests a common history and heritage among all nations in the Americas, not just the U.S. Therefore, we do not own the title of “Americans.� This is a title for all people in the Americas, from the top of Canada to the bottom of Chile.

There are plentiful examples for the shared ideals among the nations of North and South America. For instance, in the Chilean constitution, there are specific protections for “freedom of conscience� and “the right to personal freedom.� These are not foreign ideas for the typical U.S. citizen; they actually sound quite familiar to amendments in the United States’ Bill of Rights and its protections of a citizen’s “life, liberty, or property� in the Fourteenth Amendment, as well as the freedom of speech in the First Amendment.

Detractors may say that many nations in Latin America do not abide by these principles

(Chile had the brutal dictator, Augusto Pinochet, from 1973-1990) and do not share this commonality with the democratic U.S. Though many Latin American nations have been dominated by dictators and strong armed governments in the past, the people have rejected these governments based on their inherent beliefs of individual rights and the rule of law.

Common themes such as these are found throughout the constitutions of nations in North and South America. They show a shared and common appreciation for values of individuality and protections from the government.

The story of the U.S. revolution has been told numerous times, and it is a fixture in history for the colonists’ rejection of the colonial empire of Britain. This led to a spark of revolutions in Central America and South America during the 19th century against the colonial empires of Spain and Portugal, which had reigned in similar injustices on the native people. This period of change and growth through revolution is a truly unique period in history, and triumphant in its successes. The liberation of modern day Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador was led by the revolutionary leader Simón Bolívar, who is immortalized in a similar way as our own George Washington. It was portrayed as a common struggle for all of the Americas, as one people, to fight back against tyranny and create nations that represent the people of the Americas.

There is historical precedent for this idea of a collective American identity across North and South America. In fact, often during the 1800s, on the Fourth of July people of the United States

would celebrate the triumphs of Latin American countries in their respective revolutions. This patriotism also translated into actual policy: the United States was one of the first countries to extend diplomatic recognition to the countries of Peru, Chile, Argentina, Mexico and Colombia.

The Americas have faced similar contemporary problems as well. Almost every nation in the Americas has indigenous people, some of whom have been untouched by the outside world and have their own unique cultures and languages. Should there be a process of assimilation? Should they be left alone? How are past wrongs made right again?

These are questions that nations such as Ecuador have tried to answer by having programs, museums and initiatives that preserve the indigenous language Quechua. The United States has taken similar actions and should continue to learn from and follow countries like Ecuador. With all of this accounted for, it is difficult to justify how the United States gets sole use of the word “American.� American culture is not restricted to the culture of the United States, it is the shared culture among all nations of the Americas which transcends borders and languages.

Now the problem is, what do we call people of the United States? Unfortunately, “United Statesians� does not roll off the tongue well.
