“The ancestral Maya honored their elders and had a cosmovision that surrounded them with many powerful gods that inhabited the sky, the jungle, and the underworld of caves. Christine, in Remember Your Roots, manages to connect her maya roots and our modern world with her personal relationship with the divine developed in a narrative of life as a medicine woman and guide for her peers.”
— Fernando Paiz Andrade, President of La Ruta Maya Conservation Foundation

In a complicated world, with clashing ideas, visions, and directions, going back to go forward is key to Remember Your Roots. Ancestral wisdom is for healing as well as for growth. The advanced capitalist society we are in, imagined and imposed over millennia, is itself a source of trauma, alienation, stress, and loss. Here, Hernandez provides us with codes and practices to find our centering, our medicine, and our liberation. Drawing on Mayan ways that have lasted despite conquest, colonization, and erasure, Hernandez makes this work meaningful in the context of the modern world. I recommend this highly—Hernandez has walked the walk, and she’s done the work. - Luis J. Rodriguez, co-founder of Tia Chuchas and author of Hearts & Hands and From Our Land to Our Land
