#Lupita #Mexico #ActealMassacre #Acteal #Mayans
I respect this woman deeply. One cannot deny the absolute resilience this woman exudes after experiencing tragedy such as that. Regardless of whether you support her cause or not, she is strong in a way that many people are never able to muster.
Thank you for sharing their story. For the people who gave this video a thumbs down, I hope you find peace and compassion one day.
its a shame there's soo many racist people on youtube.
Many people hate the guardian so much that they can't even see an innocent video like this without a grain of salt.
Yeah! It's troubling but I think meaningless - you'll see thumbs down for the loveliest musical performances. There is a resident population of unhinged, deranged on this planet. Still, I need to add a slight caveat - AMLOs imbecility on COVID has been stratospheric - fortunately mayors, state governors...have somehow mitigated somewhat the scale of the catastrophe. So, I suspect the thumbs down are chiefly Mexican - my friends pro-AMLO (I still remain but he has been an utter Bolsinaro, Trump-scale imbecile on COVID) but they totally despise anything, any criticism I direct at AMLO.
Pretty sure the dislikes are bots or something
So much courage for this beautiful Mayan woman, may the Lord keep her safe and hope the Mexican Government will pay sooner or later the massacre they caused and continue to cause.
Tzotzil is not the same as Mayan.
@@tesoldemovideosforteacheri9032 still indigenous
Yes ,she is beautiful t0 be indigen0us, 😲
@@Abdullah20042 doesn’t make it ok regardless if she’s indigenous every nation is different
@@KingNoLuv I never said it was okay, read my comment before responding to it.
The indigenous peoples of this land, all of Turtle Island, deserve honor and respect. This injustice needs to end. Lupita, you are amazing and inspiring!
Stop selling drugs
@@senpai704 please educate yourself. Ignorance can be cured. All that you need to do is apply yourself.
@@senpai704 How about those white settlers go back to eurotrashland and watching their king go to the town square and take a bath treated as if some kind of ceremony? Lol
@@NancyRodriguez-ip5rj we are
We are not from the turtle island. People in Mexico are Anahuac people that’s how our land was known before the invaders arrive.
All of Latin America should be ashamed for mistreating and discriminating their NATIVES know full well some of their leaders have native blood in their veins!!!.
she's an inspiration and a born spiritual leader
She’s so beautiful sheeesh. Y’all don’t understand the power, capability, and rage it takes to not be scared of death-Believing in yourself, believing in your community and a cause this much. To live for something and be willing to die for something- to see it through till the end. Shes a true activists to the core. And she needs to be protected. Her life shouldn’t be the one questioned. She’s what is necessary in this world.
I have so much to work towards to get to that point. There’s too much fear pushed on us, we don’t know how to stand for something, and this is especially true for people living in the us.
Qué hermosa indígena en todos los sentidos, esa gente hermosa de mi pueblo que viva México
Indigenous/tribal/native people always suffer by greater/mainstream communities. Everywhere in the world. Only they know the real pain to be wiped out from existence. Maybe someday their curse will show
Excellent reporting. Please follow-up and keep us informed.
Bless her heart and soul! May all the Ancestors keep her safe and strong!
just watched this on argo...loved this ...I respect her for her bravery...how she handled herself after her family members died ❤
A fantastic, courageous woman. I fear for her safety.
Their language is so pretty.
It's Tzotzil
Who would dislike this 😤
Many people hate the guardian so much that they can't even see an innocent video like this without a grain of salt.
Fascists & White Supremacists...
@@NikoHL I don’t see how those two concepts relate to this video.
@@abdolpix4581
A grain of salt?
@@AndrewArminRyan they are talking about the people who disliked the video fall into that category,
She spits straight Facts! 💯👏
True!
We need more strong people like this.
Beautiful activisim from the ignored but not forgotten indigenous people. I wish there was a way to help there cause. 😕
The soldiers are Native Americans also which makes it worse
The thing is that they did lose most of the native culture their ancestors had and therefore don’t see themselves as that anymore
@@marixcx huh?😭😭😂are you talking about the Zapatistas?
@@destinyhernandez1035 I'm talking about the mestizo cops/soldiers.... they're brown too
@@marixcx stop calling people mestizo. That term was used to erase our indigenous identity. They have every right to call themselves indigenous if they know their tribe. Mestizo means you are below the Spanish and above the Indians. It’s a made up term used by Spanish colonizers
When a leader is needed one will rise. Pray for continued strength and courage for her, her sisters, and her community! So brave, so brave.
I love her passion but it’s always scary when the dead speak through the living, as she says her father does through her.
Bien Trabajo Lupita. Eres fuerte, intelligente, y gran leader.
Proof that political corruption reaches even those that have done nothing to no one. It’s all about the land and all the money they can make from it.
¡ EXCELENTE DOCUMENTAL! ¡ NI PERDÓN, NI OLVIDO!
I would fight too in their position. Solidarity.. 👊
Indigenous Lives Matter! ❤
My heart breaks so much but what she’s doing is HOPE , it’s Inspiring it’s what the people need ❤
They keep switching back and fourth with Spanish and their indigenous language like it’s nothing
Have u heard of spanglish
@@RONPEE-STINGER yes yo habló Spanglish. But I never really thought about a Spanish-indigenous language
@@mistermagoo8685 in mexicali they're ppl tht switch from Chinese to Spanish
@@RONPEE-STINGER that doesn’t really surprise me. I know about Chinos. And Latin America isn’t homogeneous either. I knew about indigenous people like these folks who never mixed with the Spanish. But I never thought about their language and speaking both Spanish and their native language.
@@mistermagoo8685 mixed people still have every right to claim indigenous. If they know what tribe they belong to
amazing woman
Las Zapatistas have been one of a number of indigenous communities on this continent doing vital work at the intersection of anti-militarism, indigenous sovereignty, anti-capitalism, earth stewardship, anti-violence and feminism (like the anti-DAPL organisers & the Water Protectors movement).
🤔 Hey Guardian, how about showing (at least like a 30 second) history of las luchas (fights/struggles) of groups like Zapatistas instead of just depicting one singular (albeit powerful) organizer? This is how media deifies and disempowers popular movements.
Y dont u do it on your own channel
Colonialism is still alive. But we can't blame Spain anymore because it's us the mestizos who are doing it now.
Well, nobody is blaming Spain anymore anyway. In fact a delegation of Zapatistas has recently paid a visit to their supporters in Spain.
Yeah we can tf? we can blame Spain, mestizos and white people in power who allow this and created the dangerous systems(by enslaving communities) we are forced to live under now. We can blame everyone who had a part in it.
*Criollos (white mexicans) and american companies.
Not all of us are mestizos but I agree.
Stop calling people mestizo. It’s a made up term used by colonizers to put us in a caste system and erase our identity. Fk the caste system.
Importantly, the documentary's director asked permission from the autonomous council of Acteal who allowed it on the condition that the people in the community were involved in as much of the documentary's production as possible. The beauty of this film reflects the democratic artistry of the people of Acteal.
Te adoro Lupita
Protect the indigenous
wow and they ended it with Jenni💗 Lupita you are amazing
My father was near this town. I don’t know much about his family native side I just know they spoke the dialect. I wish to seek more of my native culture soon
lupita😊😊😊😊🌺🌺🌺🌺
Those women were probably staring at the face of their attackers.
¡Viva Zapatistas!
Conparta porfabor es muy inportate celes quiere 😘😘😘
Tenlerimizin rengi farklı olsada gözyaşlarımızin rengi aynı 😭 Türkiye'den sevgiler 🇹🇷
Lupita Nyo'ngo was born in Mexico.
Yes and Acteal is also in Mexico.
Not indigenous
Excelente película
Baboso it's a documentary
12:25 ... WOW 😍
She is pretty cute.
the true mexican genetics.
Whether this is being used for some type of hidden agenda it doesn’t change the fact the human beings can be treated so badly and forgotten.
Girl what hidden agenda? She is part of the zapatistas, it’s not secret
Capitalism is the enemy of the people
@@stevensanchez2556
No, she is not part of the Zapatistas. Yes, you see a lot of Zapatista people in this video but she belong to the pacifist group *Las Abejas de Acteal* and they carry no weapons like the Zapatistas do. They have the same ideology and objectives as the Zapatistas but they don't believe in violence.
@DecolonizeMexico & Aztlan How do Black Americans benefit from European colonialism?
I support it
Lo que dijeron me dejo impactado , fueron condenados a muerte simbólicamente y el poder de una palabra se cumple.
HOLY TURTLE ISLAND 🌎. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE 💰

Guys, you are tired, before doing reviews, you first read about FBC and their algorithm
❤️
But why is only about women?
Whats wrong with it?
❤
Did she have any nicknames ?
Thank the Brits for all of it.
Yuun botik Lupita ✊🏾
✨👍🏽✨
Ojala que la nueva presidenta este conciente del verdadero pueblo original y su gente, y un gran castigo al que quiere destruirlo, nadie se quedara con los brazos cruzados. La justicia tarda pero llega!🙏
Qué triste es ver al 'pueblo armado' (como perros y con perdón de los perros) atacando a otra parte del pueblo...
💖🤝❤👍💖💟💞💖👌
very fast news🌏🏝
What’s her last name it’s for a school project
😮
They should look to China and Russia

This video is not about India
Completely separate point, I always find it weird that indigenous people adopt the religion of their conquers.
Why shouldn't they ?
Because my people are lost, until our race condemns that religion, and attacks the conquerors, we are nothing but sheep stuck in this society created by outsiders
Chridtianity is true tho
@@thyikmnnnn it’s not, it’s a farce, how can you say worshipping that is the true religion? How do you know it’s the truth, I don’t think you can prove that
@@jasoncano527 Its a lot more likely to be true than the religion they followed before.

What is this matter 🤔🤔🙏
