I'd like to remind people that many here are anonymous and in their anonymity they remain humble. We are a working community with individuals from all over the world. Indigenous Peoples are not limited to North America. Please consider that some folks you work with may be indigenous or highly respected accomplices in other parts of the world.
MelMir82:
