I appreciate this, my maternal grandmother was born in AZ, my great grandmother was from Sonora and her family. The family left behind their culture to be assimilated into the American/ Spanish ways. This is great bc I grew up naturally attracted to nature and spirit. ❤

Thanks for providing me with the information about my culture. I was stolen from my culture and was fed the white mans narrative of his dominion over our land, and it is great that you are able to inform generations of lost natives in this country who were forced from their tribes and made to assimilate to the white man's culture.
