Our task as European-ancestored people, seeing what's been hidden beyond our short-sighted view of history, and why healing isn't possible in the absence of love.
IN THE INTRO:
Who gets to claim their ancestors?
Healing broken lineages
Cultural appropriation & reparations
IN THE INTERVIEW:
How Lyla, raised to acknowledge only her Native American side, came to understand and honor her indigenous European ancestors
What happens when people hate their ancestors (and therefore themselves)
Making space for everyone's healing- permission to grieve all the ancestral traumas
Going way back in time to understand colonizer/oppressor actions
Lyla's early experiences with sexual abuse, alcohol, and drugs and how they informed her perspective on restorative justice
Pilgrimage to the Sacred Motherland of Europe- "These mountains may have lost their people, but that doesn't mean they don't need ceremony"
Seeing through the thin wall of time that dominates our understanding of history & remembering that the vast majority of our ancestors lived before cultures and humans got broken
Indigenous languages are the sound of the land speaking through the people
Love is the only thing worth doing here
Where do we go from here? It depends on where we came from
