“. . .Cuando nos encontramos aún sin habernos visto antes de la misma tribu nos sabemos y nos reconocemos y con el corazón y los cuernos del Venado en solidaridad y unión nos saludamos. Soy indio Rarakuri que tiene por idioma todas las lenguas y nuestra lucha y enemigo es control el sistema que roba, mata, y aprisiona Soy gente Rarakuri habitamos los cinco continentes somos descendientes de los ancestros que hablan con el viento veneran al monte y escuchan al trueno. . .” Emiliano “La Doñita” Robles Poema: Rarakuri -El Indio Mestizo _______________________________________ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #wixarika #wixaritari #mexicana #raices #huichol #huicholjewelry #mexica #toltec #otomi #chichimeca #nahua #native #reconnecting #reconnectingnative #nativeamerican #nativeamericanwomen #indigenousroots #reclaimyourpower #nativepride #brownpride #portland #oregon #nativepride #decolonize #neweraranchera #yissellopez #lamalandrina #southernnative (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjldsj5PUSs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

¿De donde viene la Vida? “Viene de la montaña el bosque y el maizal Viene de donde hay un río milpa y humedad Viene de donde el sudor campesino hace la tierra brotar Viene de la costa y la playa Allá donde el tarraya abre sus alas al alba” -Emiliano “la Doñita” Robles Somos vida✨ Photo: @dr.chiquitaginaedd Collar: @tochtliwear Ear pieces: @kukametik _______________________________________ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #reconnectingnative #reconnecting #wixaritari #wixarika #mexica #mexicana #nativeamerican #native #nativewomen #indigenous #indigena #raices #decolonize #decolonizeyourmind #neweraranchera #brownpride #nativepride #nativeroots #nahua #nahuatl #chichimeca #zapotec #otomi #toltec #purepecha #huichol #cora #yissellopez #lamalandrina (at Seven Magic Mountains, S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjYxfeePjs0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Maíz 🌽 “Por la autogestión alimentaria Por la autonomía de la tortilla y porque somos maíz te dedico estas líneas desde mi sentir. Teozintle te llamaban y como abuelito del maíz ahora te cantan. A punta de trabajo y vida cotidiana Creció tu mazorca y toda comida ahora tu acompañas De la masa el tamal y garnacha. De la tortilla el plato, la comida la servilleta y la cucaracha. Y con tus colores rojo, negro, blanco y amarillo desapareces el ayuno alumbrando así mi panza con tu brillo.” -Emiliano “La Doñita” Robles Corn has always been one of my favorite veggies. From popcorn, to hominy, to tortillas and atole; I love it all. Sometimes I can’t seem to wrap my brain around the idea that this vegetable was able to sustain our people. This single vegetable is an essential part to our everyday life and it’s easy to get caught up with life and overlook this simple fact. Our people eat it and use it everyday for foods: tortillas, chips, salsas, teas, tamales and the list goes on. I grew up working on a berry farm til the age of 11, then helped my family’s landscaping business. I recall being angry at the fact that I had to spend my summers working while my friends didn’t; I had to spend my summers waking up at dawn and working under the hot sun while my friends didn’t. Despite all that, I’ve grown to appreciate the land and fruits. I learned how to cultivate it and mold it; the work that it takes to make a single berry grow and have the corn stalks soar high. I just want to insert a thank you to all the agriculture workers who work hard to put food on our plates and theirs. You work from sun up to sun down; you were my father, you were my mother, you were my siblings; you sustain us today and harvest the elements we need to survive. ✨ _____________________________________ . . . . . . . . . . . . #wixarika #mexicana #yissellopez #huichol #mexica #native #raices #indigena #indigenous #poesia #lamalandrina #neweraranchera #mexicanfusion #wixaritari #nativeamerican #nativeamericanstyle #azteca #maya #purepecha #otomi #toltec #chichimeca #aztec #decolonize #decolonizeyourmind #nativepride #brownpride #reconnecting #reconnectingnative (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdQ5go2LRAN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Yo soy la diosa de la belleza, Nuestra lengua es nuestra vida. Yo soy la fruta silvestre. La verde selva me pertenece. Me pertenece mi canto. Las aves trinan y cantan. Las flores y las frutas me fortalecen. La gran cigarra saluda el día con su vigoroso canto. La mujer selvática es fuerte, Su esencia es pura, su mirada es luz tenue de la luna. Nuestro canto y nuestra danza se nutren de nuestra lengua. La mujer fue hecha de frutas y flores. Su voz es panal de miel sabrosa, Su sonrisa arrulla y con su amor Engendra vida en el universo.” -Rayen Kvyeh ✨Somos diosas de la belleza, siembras de nuestras raíces✨ _______________________________________ . . . . . . . . . . . . . #native #nativeamerican #nativepoetry #raices #indigenas #mexica #mexicana #aztec #wixarika #wixaritari #huichol #chichimeca #purépecha #otomi #toltec #mixteca #brownpride #nativepride #decolonize #decolonizeyourmind #reclaimyourpower #reconnecting #reconnectingnative #neweraranchera #yissellopez #lamalandrina https://www.instagram.com/p/CfehIIxFCWu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Somos tan diferentes que un@ hace existir al otr@. Somos el complemento la cooperación y la referencia Somos la copla la contradicción y la copula. Somos tan necesarios que lo que me pasa te interesa Y cuando te daño a mi mism@ me afecta. “ Diferentes partes de un mismo proceso -Emiliano “La Doñita” Robles I can’t tell you the number of times I started and restarted this post. My thoughts go racing and I can’t seem to figure out how to decipher and put it all down in writing. So here goes: We need each other to move forward. We can’t advance or ever move forward if we’re never uplifting one another; we need each other. Why does it have to come to a natural disaster or a major event before we decide to put our differences aside? Because at the end of the day, deep down, we know life is so precious and so, so valuable. Today, I’m reflecting on the beauty that makes us different. It’s one of the many reasons why I love all of you. 💕Have a blessed day full of love and good energy. _____________________________________ . . . . . . . . . . #nativeamerican #native #reconnecting #wixarika #huichol #wixaritari #mexica #otomi #purepecha #chichimeca #aztec #mayan #zapotec #toltec #nahuatl #azteca #indigena #indigenous #decolonize #decolonizeyourmind #reclaimyourpower #raices #neweraranchera #brownpride #nativepride #yissellopez #lamalandrina #reconnectingnative #mexicantiktok (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ99t52PCQO/?utm_medium=tumblr
