I love my Tewa people and my Hopi people and all other tribes as well. With everything that has happened in the past centuries, the Spaniards have left a really horrible taste in my thoughts and and my heart. Our Hopi people have destroyed all structures of the Spanish Conquistador churches except for one which is located on top of third Mesa Oraivii Northeastern ARIZONA. An extremely hurtful sight. Oh yeah I've forgiven them yeah but, I wouldn't want any other structure or statue or any kind of priest or church to keep reminding me of what they did to all our native relatives. There are churches around on the Hopi reservation but, none in our villages or anywhere near our plazas. We are an extremely dedicated people to our Hopi Tewa religious ceremonies and we do not whatsoever bring in any other sect or denomination into our religion. However, we still pray for every living soul including the Evil ones for a change of heart. The Sun and moon and all the planets and stars in the whole universe is prayed for. I don't think I will ever watch this again. It just hurts my heart that these people of ours have to Dance for the priest first. But, I will pray them as always for they are my brothers and sisters and my people. I love you all.
MAY THE GREAT SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL ALWAYS
