"Avatar: The Way of Water," the much-anticipated sequel to James Cameron's 2009 sci-fi blockbuster, isn't subtle in its message about the ills of colonialism and imperialism. But despite its lofty aims, some Native filmmakers and viewers feel the franchise doesn't live up to those ambitions.
Simón Bolívar wasn't mixed race at all, he was a criollo which means he was European ancestry born in the Americas. The Bolívar family was one of the wealthiest in the colonies. Criollos led the revolution against Peninsulares, who were Spanish people born in Spain. While indigenous and mestizo people were essential to the Bolivarian revolution, the criollo class led the revolution and formed the successor states to preserve Criollo wealth and status.
