I've been trying to connect to my indigenous roots for quite some time now. And it's sucks how little resources there are for native Southern Americans.
My great grandmother is nearly native but married a Spanish man and choose to completely assimilate to the colonial mindset.
At first, my research lead to the fact that a very small portion of the indigenous people from my hometown are actually from there. They were and still are the bread basket of the country so even before colonization there were crazy amounts of migration throughout the area. And I also found that very few records were left of original languages and practices. It was suspected that because of how much migration there was and how far the Mexica empire stretched that mostly those traditions and Náhuatl language were what were practiced by the time Spain came along. BUT recently I found out that the Yoreme (Mayo) are one of the peoples that have been there from the beginning.
I'm really excited about this new discovery and although I haven't been able to research much lately, I'm hopeful in continuing to learn more about my roots.

The construction of this plant will cause an ecocide, human health risk, and a cultural ethnocide for the Yoreme indigenous people who have inhabited the Ohuira Bay for thousands of years.
