My native American language teacher showed me this interview a few years ago. As a native I think of this interview every time I try to explain my beliefs. I believe in the ground, the trees, the coyote, the bear, the river, and the fish. We all play our part in the universe. White man made us forget our place among each other. We are not a “greater species”, we all exist on this earth together. Everything has a life, a spirit, and a purpose. We don’t need institutions, we need nature.

I feel more connected to nature. I come from a catholic Mexican family but church has never caught my attention. My spirituality is with nature, animals, the wind, rain.

Even our story, was colonized. Slapped king James on it. We called it as we saw it. First it was the sun, then it was a son. 💔

The church is all about certain peoples empowerment but native culture is about everyone’s empowerment including our brothers and sisters of nature.

this is how i was raised by my mom. in comparison to Christianity with my dad in his home. Native beliefs are so much more comforting and actually make sense without throwing some random words at you and scaring kids by eternal damnation.

This is why I’ve always looked up to and appreciated Native American culture. It’s so beautiful and I don’t think as humans we can relate to anything more than connecting with earth.
