P.S.

So one of the main things that we discussed today was the

source for not only knowledge, for not only upliftment

of the earth and challenging of climate change, but also as a source of resistance.

And when we are seeing the indigenous people of Brazil, the indigenous people of Ecuador,

of Peru, of Nepal, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, rising up and saying,

we have had enough. This is not just waiting for land back. This is taking land back. And it's

not, it may not be in the immediate,

uh, overwhelming fashion that people want because that is the goal. However, it is an actual move

towards and it is a, no, that's not even fair. It is movement. It is not just movement towards.

It is movement on business. and it is people who are connected to

their indigenity as it exists beyond something to capitalize on it is something that is

within them it is something that drives them it is something that has spirit attached to it right

it has something greater than just their physical form attached to it.

And that right there is something that black people in the United States have been lacking because it was stolen from us.

And I say in my book, what would the ancestors say?

And I say on my book tour, and I continue to say this here.

If we are not paying attention to the efforts of indigenous communities to get their land back,

then we are completely disregarding a huge aspect as black people and just as folks who want

there to be land back in the United States and in Western

spaces, we are completely disregarding not only sources of knowledge, but sources of strength.
