Thank you very much for the very interesting lecture by Mr. Siquieros, on the History of the Tohono O'odham!!!!!
Thank you for sharing so much about your people, places, and ways. I really enjoyed listening to you and learning.
Just now started learning the language.
Thank you, this was beautiful. <3
Thanks for providing me with the information about my culture. I was stolen from my culture and was fed the white mans narrative of his dominion over our land, and it is great that you are able to inform generations of lost natives in this country who were forced from their tribes and made to assimilate to the white man's culture.
Thank you, I’ve been trying to learn more of our Himdag, especially language. Thinking about enrolling TOCC to learn more
