This is so helpful, thank you 🙌

[@anonymous37119]

thank you for showing me! I'm the only one in my family besides my moms cousin who is interested in our indigenous culture. I'll dance by myself to honor and thank the creator.

[@ryrendivey4740]

Thank you , you don’t know what it means for those of us trying to reconnect with a lack of resources. 🙏🏽

[@SD-jh4rk]

I really really hope you keep making these. I discovered you awhile ago and I was/am so grateful. I was adopted and don’t speak Spanish (I’m taking classes trying to learn), but reconnecting is even more difficult. ♥️

[@tototzintli]

I'm also trying to reconnect and also don't speak Spanish. Don't give up!!

[@ryrendivey4740]

Relative, if you are looking for ways to connect you can start with SOMOS which is a dna testing company that can tell you what native group(s) you are a descendant of. Also, take a look at canal Nahuatl which teaches our native language. There are other native languages but this is the largest that’s still spoken today. ❤️ Good luck

Earth, fire, water and air. Long ago the four nations lived together in harmony, until the fire nation attacked.

[@susanaollinkuikatltekpatzi8767]

=D. Funny running into you here Yei Zipaktli...I recently dreamt you...it was good, you were happy. We miss you. perhaps soon we will gather again =)

[@yamitorres2600]

Ankle instruments are more know as chachayotes

[@susanaollinkuikatltekpatzi8767]

Yes, it varies on region. In the midwest most often we call them coyoleras. But in the southwest I understand they are referred to as chachayotes. Other terms are koyolli, ayoyotes, and huesos de fraile
