This is awesome and sad at enormity of what we have lost.
So I’ve only just listened to the 1st episode ... the origin story. You’re both great hosts and thank you for this content. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the episodes! I was a bit sad though about the fact that our clans are based on our Dad’s ancestry. I always felt after having read Ngugi wa Thiong’os autobiography, that our culture should have followed matrilineal lines. If that makes any sense. Maybe because I come from a family of all girls. We were raised under my dads clan/family but my mothers clan is Aithaga. One of my younger sisters actually doesn’t even know about the supposed witching powers and we don’t want to tell her. But she has a super high affinity for nature and animals. My mom can sense the weather and can foretell. She says it usually feels like dejavu though. Idk maybe in the spirit of being fair we should all identify with both sides?

The work you guys are doing here is amazing. A lot of us are becoming disconnected from the past and loosing our way. Reconnecting with our true cultures and undoing the erosion the colonists tried to inflict on us is the first step to true independence

Basically the best podcast I’ve listened to all my life. As a 20 year old curious about my ancestry and community’s tradition, this is the wake up call I needed to get started with pursuing that! Thank you for an amazing podcast
