"In the darkness of a boarding school night, my mother said she could hear the other kids weeping for their parents. The children were forbidden to speak Lakota by the missionaries. So they spoke the language in their prayers. A thousand prayers from a thousand lonely hearts."

"The popular narrative that horses were brought to the Americas by Europeans is now being questioned. New evidence suggests that horses were in the Americas independent of European contact. Some native nations have contended that horses have been around since time immemorial, but unfortunately oral traditions and traditional knowledge frequently aren’t regarded as legitimate until Western science validates these claims.
It now looks like archeology is catching up with what some Native nations have always known,
providing yet another example of how Indigenous knowledge and Native ways of knowing must be given equal consideration with
Knowledge from a Western scientific paradigm.
While this new evidence doesn’t confirm that horses have been in the Americas since time immemorial, it does demonstrate that the adoption of the horse is independent of European colonization.
“Native accounts contradicted the timeline centered on the Pueblo Revolt, suggesting some tribes had acquired horses much earlier, but “oral tradition was discounted,” says Comanche historian Jimmy Arterberry, a co-author of the Science study. “The end result has been to discredit the antiquity of the relationship between Native people and horses,” adds University of Colorado, Boulder, archaeologist William Taylor, also a co-author.”"

Yalitza Aparicio Martínez, born on December 11, 1993, in Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca, is a prominent Mexican actress with indigenous roots. Her father is Mixtec, and her mother is Triqui, reflecting her diverse cultural heritage. Despite not being fluent in the Mixtec language initially, Aparicio had to learn it for her role in the acclaimed film "Roma," directed by Alfonso Cuarón.
Raised by a single mother who worked as a maid, Aparicio pursued a degree in pre-school education while already holding a degree in early childhood education. Her journey to acting was not through formal training but rather through a passion for education. She won her first acting role just before qualifying as a teacher, showcasing her natural talent and perseverance.
Aparicio's breakout role came in the film "Roma," released in 2018, where she portrayed the character Cleo. Her performance garnered widespread critical acclaim, with reviewers praising her portrayal as "gentle, delicate, stoic, and selfless," making her the highlight of the movie. This led to her historic nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress, marking her as the first Indigenous American woman to receive such recognition.
Following her success in "Roma," Aparicio continued to make waves in the entertainment industry. She graced the cover of Vogue México and was featured in Vanity Fair's "Hollywood Issue." Her influence expanded as she was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. Moreover, she was appointed as the UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Indigenous Peoples in 2019, using her platform to advocate for indigenous communities.
In the subsequent years, Aparicio's career flourished as she ventured into music videos, became a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and starred in various films and television series. Her versatility as an actress was showcased in different genres, from horror to comedy, earning her further recognition and admiration from audiences worldwide.
Throughout her journey, Aparicio has remained a symbol of resilience, representation, and empowerment for indigenous communities and women in the entertainment industry. Her remarkable achievements serve as a testament to her talent, dedication, and commitment to breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes.
Yalitza Aparicio Martínez's remarkable rise to prominence is not only a testament to her talent but also a source of inspiration for aspiring actors and individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. Her impact transcends borders, and her story exemplifies the importance of diversity, inclusion, and the power of storytelling in shaping our world.
