Healing Our Indigenous European Ancestors

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
