Tarahumara: Pillars of the World

I am sure from interviews from my family members starting with the Martinez core group here in Los Angeles with Refugia 'Cuca' Sanchez Torrez being my Grandmother and interviews other relations along with historical Mission Baptismal documents that from my core family group we were Tarahumara at some point (along with Yaqui and Apache). The Tarahumara/Raramuri are probably some of the strongest people genetically which is more proof positive! The Raramuri as they like to be called are one of the last indigenous groups on the Americas to be on their 'homeland' and I would like to see that continue. I have watched this charitable group, have donated and will continue to do so. They give them foods during the 'drought' that they like beans, corn etc not soda, candy and processed foods. I would go there myself and I have contacted this group but because of the 'climate' now they have even taken a break (drug cartels). Their main drive at the moment is water wells.

Ancestry Show on NBC Fridays 8P

I was glad to see that there is a show about searching for you ancestry. Although we have gone far in our Journey (early 1800's) there is still a lot to find. It can get emotionally draining as the testimonies in these clips show. It is necessary to take breaks...then there is just the living of our daily lives. But I tell you, looking at your/our past makes me stronger in learning what some of our ancestors went through to get to where we are today.
