In the region of the Central Americas, the Pascua-Yaqui Native Americans originally indigenous to Mexico moved north to the US under a leadership of a Catholic missionary to found the city of Guadalupe, AR; however, the tribal reservation is located south of Tuscon, Arizona. This Native American tribe, once recognized as an entity in the United States of America, has more recently made a great many modernizations to their government and properties. There are also recognized tribal "families" in Texas and California that try to keep their heritage alive in those areas. These Native Americans have also developed a hard-core," and IMHO, fairly extreme fundamentalist blend of their Roman Catholic and tribal beliefs. I explored this tribal connection after a recent post about the 6-year-old child killed by his abusive parent in front of an adoptive(?) member mom and another child on the reservation not far from Tuscon for having "demons," perhaps complicating LE of this homicide.

It's no surprise to me then that organizers of the Catholic faith would like to build a synod quite different from the "Roman" version in countries of South America that would recognize indigenous beliefs of their persecuted ancestors.
