| NATIVE AMERICAN WISDOM
....the soil you see is not ordinary soil -
it is the dust of the blood, the flesh, and
bones of our ancestors....
...you will have to dig down through the surface
before you can find nature's earth,
as the upper crust is Crow...
The land, as it is, is consecrated....
- Shes-His (late 19th century) Reno Crow

HERITAGE MONTH EVENTS
November is National American Indian Heritage Month
Let's honor and recognize the original peoples of this land.
The United States 1996 proclamation details their contributions to the past and to the future:
Throughout our history, American Indian and Alaska Native peoples have been
an integral part of the American character.
Against all odds, America's first peoples have endured and have remained
a vital cultural, political, social, and moral presence.
Tribal America has brought to this great country certain values and ideas
that have become ingrained in the American spirit:
Knowing that humans can thrive and prosper
without destroying the natural environment, Earth;
Understanding that people from very different backgrounds, cultures, religions, and traditions
can come together to build a great country;
Awareness that diversity can be a source of strength rather than division.
.....LET'S CELEBRATE!...
EXPERIENCE IT!

...the Life of the Indian is like the wings of the air...
the Eagle is the same...
the Indian is always feathered up....
as he is relative to the wings of the air

Imagine It!
Some of the houses are over 200 years old...constructed
during the long period when the original mission,
its' outbuildings and the Great Stone Church were being built.
It was a time when the Spanish and the Acjachemen Indians
were beginning to merge their cultures.
The Montanez, the Rios, and the Silvas adobes
are all that remain on Los Rios Street of the about 40 adobes
that were here at that time.
Wind yourself around the new walkway and view the valley
hills and imagine life back in the 1800's with the beautiful vistas...
