In ep. 10, we talked with Dr. Travis Longcore about the ecology of light.

In Los Angeles alone there are 24 distinct indigenous migrant communities and 36 different indigenous languages spoken, mostly from the nearby Mexico and Central American areas.

This is based on research by @MyCielola.

@doctora_nature Hernandez discussed this in Episode 40.

There are indigenous communities everywhere around you.

You can go to the website https://t.co/RksYQHvJ7D to find the indigenous community whose land you live on and connect with them. It's a tool we got from @doctora_nature in episode 40. Check it out!
