<t>Breaking through hundreds of years of interference by the Euro-Christian years and the damage they left our peoples with, by reconnecting the trade routes it gives a sense of self-identity, dignity, and honoring of the sacred ways of the Americas. It also heals the generational trauma that it is now being passed on as dysfunctional ways of being. Through our efforts of reconnecting spiritually, culturally and in the ceremonial healing ways, we see that it makes an incredible difference to the younger generations.
