Hey mi gente, in this week's episode we sit down with the Natalie's and go over our thoughts on the term "Latinx" and whether it is a term that we are considering to general or insensitive to our indigenous roots. We were inspired to about this topic because of the article "Haatepah Clearbear on His Indigenous Pride and Love for Our Earth" by Alyssa Shapiro on the Youth to the People website.
