From the transcript
It was those, those lineages that mattered. And so this journey that I'm on in this casual conversation I'm having with you, so casually, because I want to be honest that I'm still at the beginnings of understanding all this. My people are at the beginning of reclaiming this, and it's going to be the same for the other clans. It's a relearning for us, but I still find it really important to say it's not made up.
