    I was born in 1959 and given up for adoption. I was adopted at 6 months old. My mom and Aunt used to talk about me as though I was not there. Mom would say that I am 1/4 Apache and 75% Irish. My Aunt said that I am 1/2 Irish and 1/2 Apache. I have been told that I am dirty and ignorant. And more. You always have such a beautiful message to share. Thank you. I love all people. It's not my job to hate.

    This is an excellent interrogation into the distortions that were erroneously uplifted as "civilization" while also demeaning and forcing down human spiritual connections with the very essence of Life. Unsustainable separateness, divisiveness and competitiveness replaced sustainable unified, harmonious cooperation. We are now struggling in a time when it is becoming far more obvious that we cannot continue on our current path in Life, and that we must quickly renew our spiritual interconnections and interdependence before we bring about our own demise. Thank you, Lyla June, from a friend in Ely, Minnesota.
  • What an inspiration to us all in the quest to decolonize and stand for the freedom and liberation of all people's and in turn the cultivation of the deepest reverence and respect for this beautiful earth. Aho! So Be It!

    As a descendant of the Celtic and Germanic tribes trying to remember what only lives in a museum now, thank you for shining a light on how we fell to Roman Law first. x

  • Wisdom is a virtue, you Lyla are truly virtuous, thank you, I've learned so much from you, I have been so blind. As having myself Taiño roots, when you sang in Spanish it made me cry, thank you for remembering my ancestors as well.
