Do you have spiritual or religious beliefs?
That’s a complex matter. My mother is an Adventist and my father is Catholic. I grew up with the church but my parents didn’t agree with each other on religion and there was a really negative atmosphere around it. I didn’t know which way to turn. They asked me too many questions. The first missionaries here forced their religion on us and ruined our culture. They destroyed our tikis and stopped us from making tattoos and wearing flowers. Nowadays there’s a fantastic revival, building on what little was left from the past.
