Leaving New Mexico is one thing but returning? That’s soul work. The colors just don't shine, they sing. The land doesn’t just feel familiar, it wraps around you. It teaches, it remembers, and it never forgets who you are, no matter how far you’ve wandered.

Aways a special time when our kids come home for spring break and we can reconnect and share our traditions. Our kids are back from San Jose, and they’re excited to enjoy our traditional foods again. We welcome all our children home, surrounded by the strength and protection of our sacred lands.

🌟🌌 My ancestors understood the celestial sky, wove its meaning and ceremony into their lives. Archaeoastronomy doesn’t just confirm this, we’ve always known it, our oral traditions have always told it.

Our ancestors at Chaco Canyon didn’t need Gothic cathedrals or Roman arches to be called “civilized.” They were master engineers, architects, astronomers, and urban planners. A travel guest looks, by line of sight, along the Equinox wall at Pueblo Bonito.
