What can Hindus learn from Black lives & native religions of South America ?

Osvaldo Mutalê, is a Brazilian of African descent, and priest of important native spiritual traditions in his country: Umbanda and Candomblé. He tells about the process of survival of his tradition since times of slavery, the difficulties, aggressions and prejudices suffered, and how his people overcame all that and manage to keep their traditions alive. It is clear from this conversation that native traditions in South America have much in common with dharma in beliefs such as reincarnation, many divinities, nature worship, mutual respect, and feminine worship. Osvaldo Mutalê brings a message of strength, pride, and courage that is also useful and important for contemporary Hindus.
