I think your point about how modern Indigeneity in Peru might not be in things like language, clothing or material objects. These things are often the props seen as necessary to show Indigeniety. But looking the part doesn't necessarily equal authenticity. Looks can be deceiving and there is much more to Indigeniety than material goods and language.
Hi Ana. I think you had quite a unique experience at Amaru amidst all the commotion happening that day. Thank you for taking the time to speak and play with Lian and Cory. I saw you a couple times and could tell that they really enjoyed your presence. It sounds like your conversations with them were incredibly raw, and I really commend you for the way that you handled that situation given the weight of it all. Thank you for being so open about your experiences and sending you lots of love.

Wow, that's quite a story. Thank you for sharing.
I also find connecting with kids easier (and often more revelatory) than talking to adults. They have yet to master the scripts.
