Worse* My tata says now they look like muppets and i honestly agree

[@Rolando14001]

@@KarnageClown they’re different everywhere, but looking at the old recordings of Old Pascua, I’d say they look better nowadays. There’s a certain style of chomos in Tucson, Guadalupe, and Rio Yaqui. And by that I mean the chapayekas themselves. The yori chomos seem the same

The Catholic religion was forced on them they had no choice they had to believe that but it was against their beliefs it’s not like they liked it and they decided to believe in the Catholic traditions they had no choice That’s what my Yaqui grandmother told me and my grandfather Grandfather told him.

The strong have often dominated those weaker in numbers or resources throughout history. The Indigenous Peoples, like those of all other colors and traditions around the world, are the inheritors of the effects of many injustices done centuries or decades or even days ago. But nobody can right the wrongs of the dead. My own ancestors were starved to death by the millions. My ancestral language was lost. My ancestors' lands were stolen from them. I inherited nothing. Yet, by the grace of God, I have done okay. We thank God for what we have been given, for nothing is owed to us.

My father was born in 1900 and I was born in 1961 we NEVER practiced ANY religion. As a child I believed that the Catholic religion was for the Mexicans. My father wouldn't mix with organized religions. I still don't and never will...so please don't bless me or pray for me...please pray for yourselves.

This is not something the ancient Yaqui would do... this is what was imposed on the Natives the Yaqui people in order to stay on US territory and not be deported to Yucatán Mexico. This is now a lost tribe that was robbed of its roots only the children survived all the shamans how taught wisdom and discipline for the warrior into spirit-realm and other dimensions..leaving no Yaqui abuelos in the land no more story tellers that’ kept the spirit of the warrior centered and strong. This we just watched of the cross is what the Yaqui orphaned in a state in trauma was made believe was the Yaqui way of life a year tradition.. well ITS NOT TRUE!!!! Yaqui’s don’t see or measure time as it now.. ancient Yaqui live as warriors and guardians of the mother land.. with help of a partner the other part of you who resides in the dimension we call dreams. The warrior must learn to get here while awake and master the obstacles along the way. So I’m sorry but no, this is scary what has happened to the warrior.

I'm Irish from my mother's side and yaqui from my fathers side..... I am from tucson I have been getting dreams and visions for a long time started in my teenage years...... I will not get into detail but the first vision I had involved me getting bit by a black serpent with silver chrome strips! And that first dream was the intro to many visions I was lost and in a dark place for a long time and I'm just going to say the universe is about balance between dark and light and jesus is the only way to the true GOD of our mother earth! I still get visions and dreams to this day....... This video does hold truth so you can't just denounce it because ev everything in our history has happen for a reason and has lead to this point in time.

@ +RVSTY TEVSPOON+ Jesus is absolute way to self, no doubt about that. He has been there for me in my darkest moments. Yes, I’ve woken up while I was in a sleep paralyzes in which I couldn’t wake up just this feeling that I can’t move my body and something is near me,above me that feeling of fear in me. Not being able to move or speak bc your asleep yet you feel awake but your not...IN THAT MOMENT I REMEMBERED JESUS. I begun to yell for him while I’m in this state of sleep paralysis!! JESUS IS MY SAVIOR AND THE BLOOD of JESUS WHO RUN IN ME PROTECTS ME!!! My yelling woke me up instantly. And I knew I knew that he’s name has tremendous power. But I also know that the passion of Christ is not the only way Jesus taught his disciples to get to the Father. That my brother is churches mind reset slaves. I know it sound offensive, but ask yourself go to Jesus. It will be reviled to you. Ask and you shall be given. Thank you for commenting 💗

People don't know what we've been through some of that is true some is not the darkness of what we have been threw is traumatizing.

[@HouseOfMoths]

​@@onepeiceZoro1st you need to understand a new world order is on the rise and they don't like people who hold any type of faith in a higher power They want us divided and to be focused on things that don't matter and play us off with race and our beliefs We all need to come together as people and fight them to take back all our freedoms as people By the time people wake up to this i fear it will be to late
