Wow, I'm so glad to have found this site!
I wondered for a long time if I overreacted when I got annoyed reading about "Inka-shamans" and "initiated Amazonic shamans" and god knows what else they claim to be, but finding all you wonderful people made me feel that we indeed have to react against people stealing our symbols, distorting our cultures and selling false knowledge under our names.
My native american name is Kantuta, a Quechua name for the holy Inka flower from the Andes, but my christian name is Maria.
I'm 28 years old and I live in northern Norway, but I am originally from Bolivia. My father is of Aymara origin and my mother 1/4 Quechua.
Well, anyway, nice to meet you and I'm looking forward to join the discussions!
