    Ohhhh I love this so much. As a Texan, I feel like Mexican/Central American culture is so easily misunderstood, dismissed, and erased despite the many great things they and their ancestors have contributed to who we are today. I am so glad you took time from your trip to focus on the people and the culture and how to help pass on their history and culture. I am glad he was so excited to speak to you and show his pride and knowledge for the land he is from.

    What a great interview ❤ I love that you took an interest in Mayan history and culture. My family is from Mexico, I have indigenous roots from an area not far from Yucatán. This is so special to me. Thank you for sharing this with us. I love how culturally rich you are. Your genuine interest and respect for other cultures is beautiful ❤ I think everybody should learn about other cultures. Sharing ones culture and embracing others is such a great way to tap into our humanity 😊 So inspiring. Love you mean it!

    BJ I love that you did this! I'm part Aztec, it was always rumored by family but after I got my 23 and me done, the data showed exact percentages, even if it can't define tribes whatsoever... basically I found out my Mexican heritage is half "unknown native american" (aztec) and Portuguese! The area where my family was from wasn't conquered by Spain like I had assumed, but by Portuguese conquistadors. Learning that made me look more into how many different mixtures of ancient central americans there really are... one thing I discovered, that's super interesting and denied by most history books, even Mexican books is Afro-Mexican history... there is a video on youtube that pops right up to the top if you search "afro-mexican history" where this journalist goes and finds villages of people with afro roots and its fascinating! Mexicans come in all shapes, sizes, colors, etc... we are all a mix of native and something!

    My boyfriend is Mayan and I also thought the Mayans were extinct until I met him. He told me he speaks Ch'Ol and grew up in Palenque near the Archeological Zone where you can walk through the ruins of an ancient Mayan city. Even though he grew up close to it he told me he never visited it until we went on a trip through Mexico in December where we visited several ruins, including Chichén Itzá. He also had to leave his small town and moved to Mexico City so he could attend university. I loved this video and thought it was so cool and I saw a lot of similarities to what my boyfriend has experienced. Thank you, BJ for the interview! I hope to see more of your trip to Mexico!

    My daughter did a presentation yesterday for her 2nd grade classes about exactly this, Native people are still here!!
    My husband also always stresses the importance that all throughout the America's there are Native peoples and they are not separate from those living in the USA, but are all an extended family of peoples, all Native, Indigenous or Aboriginal peoples of the Americas.
    This is so unexpected and such a wonderful surprise! I love your channels so much!! Thank you again!
