Thank you for sharing this! I’m a descendent of Huastecos and seeing this really made my day. We might belong to different nations but we are connected on many ways. Thank you once again

This was the fourth and last Celebration I attended. I enjoyed each performance tremendously and my respect and admiration for your culture is genuine and deep.

Love watching the entire event! I have to say #TheRavenSong (17:11) was one of several highlights!

What iMeant is: Hopefully many of us will explain that YOUR LANGUAGE And Stories are as Valid as any in the WORLD.. BUT THERE ARE ALWAYS people who TWIST and use any LANGUAGE, some on purpose, others not knowing they or we ourselves by mistake. Such is life. We enjoy your people. Thank you, GuoonaCheesh, pardon our spelling and accents. Fabulous how YOU Got your ALPHABET TOGETHER. iAm hoping to learn more. Respectfully, Roy and Debbie and families.
