TILANTONGO: Fall 2025 #1 The Indigenous Foundations of Viable Human Communities with Angelica Castro Rodriguez

The basic humanity of our Western civilization is unraveling, fomenting hate, fear, violence, and racism. Not only are our societies producing a vast wealth gap between rich and poor but a growing breach between the goals of our political class and the majority of our people. Is this inevitable? Is it an inescapable result of the character of the human creature?
25 years living as part of an indigenous community in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico has convinced Kathy and me that it is not inevitable but rather the result of Western cultural choices.
Angelica Castro Rodriguez explains to us how 417 municipalities of the state of Oaxaca have chosen a different option as they return to ancient systems of governance and basic human values.
