Trip to Mavromati, Greece

[@Apollonia93]

Bravo, Joan. Thank you for capturing and sharing these moments with us. I am an Arvanite from near Thebes, too. I was born a few months prior to this filming.

[@cadojccccgghhv4623]

Why Arvanites are so scared to stand up and do something for their origins. Or get Albanian Passport at list! And speak loud GREEK COUNTRY IS FAKE ! In Greece more than half population are arvanit origins

[@Apollonia93]

@@cadojccccgghhv4623 Arvanites have no interest in an Albanian passport because they do not identify as Albanian. And it’s pretty exhausting to have to explain over and over again that we do not feel patriotism for a state that was founded 800 years after the first and 200 years after the last of us migrated.

[@Ediii830]

@@Apollonia93 We dont mind that you identify as Greeks, and it would be stupid to tell people what they are, but don’t deny the Albanian roots.

PP 331-332, The Albanians: An Ethnic History from Prehistoric Times to the Present, Edwin E. Jacques, McFarland & Co., Jefferson, North Carolina 28640 The Greeks are Hellenic and yes, they existed even though they weren't such a large tribe at the time. But what really sucks is that modern-day Greeks fail to understand that the name Greece is just their nationality and not their ethnicity. Actually Greece right now is made up of people who have a lot of mixed ethnicity and different races but the Greeks have a hard time understanding this and this is why there is a lot of hatred in Greece
