Honoring Ina Maka and Traditional Dances of Life in the Southwest

Left Taos the town after a warming breakfast on Bent Street, under heated pipes!  Red and Green Pepper salsa that some of the locals call Christmas -- Wow such the bearing the x Cross still lingers here in Pueblo Country after centuries of dealing with what some call the "settlers", the immigrants the Spanish first to this area....and the Pueblo Revolt of 1610 and later conflicts with the taking of human life.   Curious about which ways of being with our Creator and Creation really support all of life,  Mitakuye Oyasin
