We were sad to see Lina and Denise leave New Mexico this morning, but we are grateful for all of the wisdom and experience they shared during there time here. This includes giving an interview for the Future Primitive podcast. This is a great interview, covering numerous topics including Lina’s award winning work in supporting women and Indigenous Maya, the importance of the Popol Wuj, the Maya significance of 2012 and more. Thank you again to Joanna and Jose for conducting and editing such a great interview! Check it out:
