You have to be careful what you say to people because words have power and hold medicine. When we speak or act we have intentions behind it whether or not we realize it.

If you don't know me on a deeper level

You won't understand me when I say fuck fame. Music has always been therapy for me. I grew up in an environment where if a man were to express themselves they were viewed as weak. I said fuck it early on and still talked my shit.

Pachamama on Netflix

Being that I am from the Quechua nation I was pretty stoked that a movie like Pachamama made such a platform. I loved the drawings, the story line, how the main characters were portrayed. However, what I did NOT like was how they made it seem like the Sapa Inca was basically terrified of the Spanish which is entirely not true. He among the rest of our people were resistant once they got there. The last thing I didn’t like was how they made the medicine man chant when he wanted it to rain. Quechua never sang like plains natives. It kind of hard to explain how we sing but our word are  very fast spoken with the tone changing high and low. Which would basically be like traditional Huayno that can still be heard today. Or even like ayahuasca icaros.  One crazy accuracy that most people don’t know is Inca is not a race, but was referred to the higher class civilization and the emperor. At some point Inca was used as an umbrella term to describe other tribes in peru. Not everyone was a descendant of the Inca, which is a common misconception in peru as well. It kind of like the Taino. Anyways, Other tribes especially other bands of Quechua actually hated the Inca. It was so dope to see my people on a big platform like that ,to be honest. Moana had been released and so was coco. There has been many native movies of other tribes being represented I always had to be like “what about my people?”. Polynesians were being represented, aztecs, mayans, Lakota, etc.  Especially when it comes to spanish speaking countries you hear more about aztec or mayans before Inca. It was so relieving to see this and it makes me  happy. I also love how there were quechua words constantly being thrown through out the movie such as our gods,animals, and  other objects. I think the creators did a really great job!

Google in Quechua

Google is constantly rolling out new and exciting features.  One of the lesser-known abilities is to use the search engine in Quechua.  Simply go to https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=qu and search.  Results will be returned in Quechua.  Although in practice, since there are few sites completely in Quechua, many of the results will actually be Spanish pages.

My Piercings Are Cultural.

I literally felt a calling to all the piercings that I got growing up. Having a new piercing was more than enhancing my beauty, but enhancing my spirit or making a promise. I would get a new piercing each time I reached a new transition in my life. For example one day I was praying deeply and when I was done I first got my septum pierced at the age of 16. It was calling me for months before I had finally committed the act. I could feel my ancestors directing me to this piercing. As an Urban Ndn I was actually raised with my culture and tribal ways,but I took it for granted. It was at this age I began to truly dive deeper in my culture and have understanding of my peoples ways. Eventually I had stretched my ears, just like my ancestors. Each time I stretched, I felt closer to the creator for that is my tribes belief. My labret piercing..I originally pierced my labret when my ex had took her life away....the day I found out about this tragedy I pierced my lip for that was the last piercing she had before she had passed. I have and always had a deep understanding for death. I was sad and in disbelief I had lost someone close to me. I mourned her death by getting my labret pierced. This processed seemed slower than usual. Though about 3 days passed before getting my lips pierced,I felt bottled up. It was only after I felt relieved when my ritual was done. Once the needle had reached my lip and pierced through the flesh of my skin as blood dripped down my lips, all I invisioned was her. I had mourned for a couple of months..and finally was ready to let go which means that I was to remove my piercing and let it close. Later on I re-pierced it in a different stage in my life where I was educating other Urban Ndns from the tribes that im mixed with on Native Identity and History. I then re-pierced my lip to symbolize I too speak with wisdom. Many non native people think that this is a trend amongst young people however africans and native people have been practicing body modifications before European contact.

Nazca Human-effigy vessel, ceramic, natural pigments, ca. AD 200-400, southern Peru. - nazcamystery.com  

The Nazca culture was the pre-inca archaeological culture that flourished from 100 to 800 CE beside the dry southern coast of Peru. Having been heavily influenced by the preceding Paracas culture, which was known for extremely complex textiles, the Nazca produced an array of beautiful crafts and technologies such as ceramics, textiles, and geoglyphs(most commonly known as the Nazca lines). They also built an impressive system of underground aqueducts, known as puquios, that still function today. - wikipedia.org

[catherineaddington-deactivated2]

today in language is never just grammar

1. In Quechua there is no naturally occurring word for “to have, to possess,” so when the Spanish came and introduced money, they had to mangle their word for “to be” into a possessive. DO YOU EVER METAPHOR SO HARD

2. There is a specific word in Quechua for men with large beards (chhapu), which comes from the word for mountain (apu), because of the peaklike formations on your UGLY EUROPEAN FACES

3. An Andean Spanish slang word for “to eat” is papear, which is literally “to potato,” because in the Andes everything is some kind of potato and the world is SO COLLECTIVELY WELCOME

She was like, ‘That’s what you have to remember: It’s nerve-­racking for everyone.‘”
