    A beautiful young boy following his heart and his heritage. Thank you Xiuhtezcatl! Keep up the amazing work! I am going to show this video to my children today when they get home from school! We love the earth and do all we can to cherish and appreciate it as well as ourselves so that we can be the change we are looking for.

    I have not seen the video. I am already in this subject for a long time. The very mention of the subject will inspire me.One of the most serious issue is water that crisis will hit all over the globe. Civilizations perished and survived according to the water source and availability. WIL- Water Is Life. No. Life itself. 'Feel Reverence To Water' What is shocking is even the highly educated are blissfully ignorant. We need to awaken as the work needs massive awareness and action.Time is running out.Let us work on it. Regards. Thanks. s.dinni Bengaluru India

    The planet EARTH looks safe in hands on the new generation - The VDO captures the spirit of the new kids. Very healthy. I felt relieved. Looks like the " Consumerism " is going to end at last.. All the very best for making & sharing VDO.

    I am inspired when I see the wisdom of our ancestors guiding people today. They are not forgotten and we can trust in their teachings as their knowledge is practical and relevant today. I am thankful to the parents and whānau (family group) of this child who has given him all the tools he needs to lead his people and the world. I hope Xiuhtezcati always finds some time in his busy schedule to dance!

    His clarity and strength of his vision and the capacity to go forward. Inspiring me to take action - so close to Leo Tolstoy. An old soul, indeed.

    What inspires me about these young individuals, with wise old souls, is that they give us hope for the future. How do these children get so wise, so mature, so insightful...so beautiful....at such a young age. Amazing.

    ALL OF IT! EVERYTHING...especially that this awesome young man is educated and inspired by the indigenous ways of his father...that he is supported by both his parents to be himself and to make a difference. It gives me hope for future generations and encourages me to guide my grandson to be even more conscious of our oneness with our Earth.

    The statements that we need a "shift in human consciousness, not saving the planet" - "Because the planet doesn't need saving; we do." Yes! Yes! Yes! On so many levels - this rings true! My heart is grateful for your direction and inspiring humanity to shift its energy, focus and intention! The planet most certainly continue to shift and thrive - with or without us.

    This important issue is being represented by one of the people who will experience the worst of climate change in the years come, if there aren't more like Xiuhtezcati making the difference. Teaching "old dogs new tricks" as the saying goes. I admire you, Xiuhtezcati. Keep up this great work.

    We're so extremely proud of the powerful voice of our Hummingbird Community co-founders, Makasha & Katharine's, grandson. Our vision of shifting consciousness from separation and fear to unity, love and cooperation in order to co-create a better world is embodied by Xiuhtezcatl. Thank you young brother!
