I HAVE NO DOUBT OF WHO I AM:
I AM A SCHOLAR WARRIOR FOR MY PEOPLE!
I am Nican Tlaca!
I am Cemanahuac!
I am not what they've made of me.
Not "Latin American", Not Hispanic/Latino.
Not "American", not "Raza/Chicano/Mestizo".
I am Nican Tlaca!
I am Cemanahuac!
I am Caral and the Olmec.
I am Maya and Tiwanaku.
I am Runa ("Inca") and Mexica ("Aztec").
I am Mapuche and Apache.

I am the great forests and jungles.
I am the sky of the night the sky of the day.
I am the earth at my feet and the oceans that surround us.

We live in a time of ignorance and disgrace.
We live in a time of cowardice and slavery.
My people are living in chains.
My people are living in ignorance.
My people are living in a time of dishonor and genocide.
My people are living but they are dead inside.
My people are living as slaves of the pale race of Europe.
My people do not have their leaders or warriors to defend them.
My people are shitted on by colonialism.
My people are shitted on by drugs, gangs, sports, and the church.
My people are full of ignorance and fear.
My people have been filled with self-hate and love of Europeans.
My people, my people, my people, my people,
it's time that we rise out of this shame, up off our knees,
out of ignorance,
out of this slavery,
this cowardice,
this foolishness,
this treason to our ancestors,
this treason to ourselves.
Liberation is about confronting the worst enemy first: the one in the mirror.
Liberation is about discipline and organizing and decolonizing.
Liberation is first and last and always about learning our Nican Tlaca history.
Liberation is first and last also about being a scholar warrior for our people.
