Don’t feel shame for knowing the language of your ancestors.
Don’t feel shame in speaking your native tongue of your indigenous heritage.
Don’t feel shame in your indigenous background.
Don’t feel shame in connecting with your roots snd finding your history and culture.
Don’t feel shame in having darker or lighter skin.
Don’t feel shame in being who you are.
Your ancestors would be amazed by the person that has come from generations of their blood to be born now.
Don’t feel shame in being you.
#indigenous#self affirming#Native American#South America#central America#north america#Canadian#indigenous americans#something I tell myself as I look further into my Peruvian culurtal history#and learn from my family the language and history they know personally#there’s some shame I once felt in being who I am#as I sit in the pews of a church or sit in a classroom full of students who made faces when#I tried to joyfully share my culture#i will still joyfully share my culture but I refuse to let anyone try to shame me in my pride of who I am
