    Listening from southern California. Mother adopted by my grandparents who immigrated from Mexico. Grandfather came from a small village and is part of the Raramuri people, my grandmother comes from primarily Spanish. Unsure of my mother’s origins we did dna testing found she is Nahua, Maya, and Spanish and myself. My father was mixed African American/Mexican I am African American Nahua, Maya and Spanish .

    I have been listening to Lyla's talks in these troubling times......Half of my European ancestors were chased out of many countries for being Jews....and somehow met people from many other nations, including some indigenous peoples in America. Jews were forced out of Spain in the early 1500's at the same time that Columbus came to the Caribbean. I am mourning both my Jewish ancestors who were shot in Ukraine by the Nazis and my Taino ancestors killed in Puerto Rico by the Spanish. There is a lot to move through.....and I feel like Native peoples hold the key to finding a new way that will work for all of us. Thank you for explaining Coyote....

    I love your music and respect most of what you said. I only disagree with the part that superiorism/racism is mainly a European/white thing. It is found through out history no matter what race , nationality, ethnic group, etc. it may be. Every race at some point in history has been a slave to another as well have owned slaves including the first nations. Most were sold into slavery by their own. The root of the issue boils down to Classism. As white male I have no need to apologize for anything since I have done nothing to anyone and won't apologize for the crimes of assholes just cause they share the same pigment.

    I listened to a podcast by someone who expressed irritation at the term "Turtle Island," because not all Indigenous people call it that. I'm just reporting something I encountered, not in a place to make a judgement.
