It has now been a week since the Pipeline ended and that special spiritual vibe is slowly fading away.. i am distracted by non-indigenous people and their American way of thinking, and i find it difficult to connect……The Pipeline was more than just a program, it was something very special to me. It was an amazing spiritual connection to the culture, our ancestors, and the Earth…. i need my Pipeline family.. i really miss all of you guys, the students, the staff, the Pitzer campus, and Gina and Jacky, and even the dinning hall and the workers. As i resume life in the real world, i can’t help but to think how easy it is to get sucked into a life without meaning.. but i will stay strong, for my people, for the culture, for my ancestors, and for you Pipeline student activists, because i will never forget how smart and intelligent you are.. and i know you will definitely make a difference.. don’t ever forget about the Pipeline… thank you Scott, … Tlazocamatli Ometeot. Nican-Tlaca Tlahui….

Brother stay strong!!!! Don’t give into the man… these are the times where we must stay connected and know that what we built the past few weeks was real!! Any even though we might not see each other 24/7 nothing can break that bond we all made with each other if we don’t let it.. I am always a phone call away and I know you have now connected with brother Pacheco. Conceder this time away from each other just a short vacation and we will all be together soon. Stay focused on your school and trust the creator…
Peace and many blessings,
