Artifacts for the autoethnographic project are objects that poses a deeper meaning than the simple physical representation. These artifacts are special emblems with a strong relevance to the stakeholder. Possible artifacts are the following: the national PR flag, El Morro, or the coqui. The flag is a national symbol like no other as it has two versions. The color blue changes from the US navy blue to a clear light blue to resemble an independent identity isolated from American imperialistic influence. The flag also carries a heavy significance of the past as it assimilates with the brother island of the Caribbean, Cuba. El Morro is a Spanish fort and historical landmark that amounts the origin of the Puerto Rican blending of a variety of cultures. The fort was the main front the Spanish rule had to defend the entrance of the the Caribbean and other colonies. The coqui is a small tree frog that emits a loud resonating call that is iconic to the nights of Puerto Rico. In addition, the coqui is the national animal of Puerto Rico and is of great significance to the locals of Puerto Rico. For this project I will most likely choose one of the three artifacts.
