On Saturday I missed the celebrations for the day of the birth & the day of the assassination of Cuauhtemoc because I had the great honor to transport Kumiai elders from their communities to Tijuana and our home in Playas so they could participate in the ceremonies initiating the sacred run for indigenous dignity on Sunday. To spend two days with them was a high point of my life. I wish for everyone the same opportunity.

El sabado no podemos ir a las celebraciones del dia de nacamiento y asasinato de Cuauhtemoc porque tuve el gran honor de llevar los ancianos Kumiai hasta Tijuana y nuestro hogar en Playas para participar en las ceremonias iniciar la carrera ceremonial para la dignidad indigena ayer domingo. Para pasar 2 dias con ellos era uno de los mas importantes puntos de mi vida. Ojala que todos tengan la misma oportunidad.
