Once dominating a vast area that extended as far as the Great Plains, the Apache were gradually pushed down by the Sioux and Comanche into their homeland of what is now New Mexico (Arizona was part of New Mexico until 1863). Various tribes; Lipan, Chiricahua, Mescalero, Jicarilla, and Kiowa-Apache, all withdrew into their present locations in Arizona and New Mexico. One of the most important holy beings for Apaches is White-Painted Woman, also known as Changing Woman or White Shell Woman. Her sons, Killer of Enemies and Child Born of Water, triumphed over the evils of the world personified as monsters, making the world safe for humans. The Mountain Spirits ensure the well-being of the people by protecting them from epidemic diseases and enemies. The Mountain Spirit Dancers or Crown Dancers “become” these sacred beings in the same way that the Hopi who dance specific katsinam become those katsina spirits. The Western Apache call them the gaan while the Eastern Apache know them as gaa’he. Embodying the Mountain Spirits, they dance at night, bringing the spiritual world into physical manifestation. Their heads crowned with wooden slat headdresses, four Mountain Spirit Dancers and a clown wield their wooden swords as they dance around the fire.— The Apache were fiercely independent survivalists and the last people to surrender to the domination of the white man in North America, a fight that lasted forty years. They owned nothing and everything. They did as they pleased and bowed to no man… They were mighty warriors who depended on success in raiding for wealth and honor. To their families they were kind and gentle, but they could be unbelievably cruel to their enemies…

Sakwa Sohu
by SenaSakwa Sohu, Hopi for “Blue Star” Katsina. “And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.” – White Feather of the Bear Clan, Hopi. It is said that the Blue Star Katsina would be seen at the dances, and then make his appearance known to the children in the plaza during the night dance, and remove his mask – an unprecedented act.The Hopi say that after this happens, a Blue Star will appear in the heavens and the end of the age is soon to follow.The result will cause a further imbalance of Earth’s natural processes. Many Hopis believe that the only salvation for humanity will be to act in accordance with Mother Earth and in balance with the natural rhythms of life. “It’s the Hopi belief, it’s our belief, that if you’re not spiritually connected to the Earth and understand the spiritual reality of how to live on Earth, it’s likely you will not make it.” – The late, Floyd Red Crow Westerman, Dakota (Sioux), musician, actor, and activist. Katsinam (plural of katsina) are not gods per se but spirits that act as mediators between gods and humans. They may take the form of any animal, plant, celestial body, or otherworldly creature.

Kokopelli, the flute player, is a common petroglyph in the Southwestern United States. Nowadays he is more of an unofficial ambassador to this region; however, his original beginnings are steeped in ancient tribal beliefs. Kokopelli, the seed bringer and water-sprinkler(a reference to his male anatomy), is a common fertility symbol throughout the Southwest. His image is found in petroglyph art particularly in the fourcorners area and along the gorges of the San Juan River in Northern New Mexico and Colorado. He is a personage who is honored as a kachina by most Pueblo cultures. He is associated with fertility, the male principal and physiology, and the concept of the significance of protecting seeds. Usually depicted as old, bent under his heavy load, he visits various communities, impregnating the young women drawn to the tones of his flute playing. He is also related to the cricket, or locust, whose natural music is connected with specific humidity and seasonal temperatures. There are many, very ribald stories of his various exploits. When carved as a kachina doll, he usually has a staff, not a flute, but is also carved hunchbacked. Before the missionaries came to the Hopi mesas in the 1930’s, his kachina disguise and this doll also featured exaggerated male sexual organs although this practice has been curtailed in recent years.

The church was mobbed, as it is every Good Friday. Worshipers and penitents and supplicants filled the grounds, some having walked the 35 miles from Santa Fe, many more, the 10 miles from Nambe. I did get a few shots with a representation of the human activity, but they weren’t satisfactory to me. My photo buddies tell me this is my best shot of the group and a good photo. I am grateful for their praise, but disappointed I did not do a better job of capturing the human stories that were so bountiful this day. Next year, I vow to devote the whole of Good Friday to this effort. By spending the day there, I hope to reach a level of immersion that will permit a more intimate perspective. The Santuiario de Chimayo is located 35 miles from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Pentax K110D 1/125 @ F13, 110mm

While begging the sufferance of all, I am nevertheless adding one more moonrise photo from this most recent Bisti excursion. I hate to add so many similar photos, but this turned out to be my favorite. The Bisti is a 45,000 acre National Wilderness that is an ancient seabed and is now full of hoodoos, striated rock formations, petrified wood and dinosaur bones, and other examples of tortured geography of the most surreal sort. The Bisti is located in Northwest New Mexico, near the Four Corners town of Farmington. Pentax K20D, 8 seconds @ F11, ISO 200, 70mm

This was a small Indian Shelter that was in the side of the mountains going up to the Carlsbad Caverns. It is a small cave like opening that was used by the Indians to stay out of the weather . This is a close-up capture to show the texture and colors of the rock . The bottem of the picture is where it sunk back into the mountain. / They had many different little stops on the drive up the Mountain , This one was simply called “Indian Shelter”. This was taken on the drive up to the Cavens in Carlsbad, New Mexico with a Panasonic FZ50. Awash

Part of a gate at the Art Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. / Through this gate was a wonderful sculpture garden but it was locked at this time of the day. I think this great gate was part of it and I call it fishgate because this section reminds me of fish…the pincers of crabs, the fish bones, the fishnet stockings, the seablue colouring….see what I mean. I’m really not sure if that’s the idea but to me it’s a fishgate! Featured in Out Of The Blue group, RedBubble, June 2009 / /

seems like they are to me! This was somewhere between Lawton, OK and Colorado Springs, CO. Not exactly sure where. Could have been in top of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico or Colorado… We drove just outside this storm system the entire way. Just barely missing it. It was as if we had a force field around us. I drove my 2 little boys and I to visit my dear friend in Colorado. 12 hours in the car on Monday then back home that Thursday. A lot of driving, but we had a lot of fun. I’m so glad we went!

Acrylic on back stapled stretched canvas. 24” x 18” This painting was greatly influenced and inspired by the art of New Mexico Jicarilla Apache artist Frank Vigil. I was lucky enough to collect some of his art many years ago at an estate sale. He painted in the traditional Native American style—which I would never be able to emulate (and I wouldn’t even try), but his beautiful horses have been an inspiration to me for years.

More fall colors at McKnight Peak in the Gila National Forest, New Mexico, USA. Again, a view to the other side, on the steep incline of the mountain side provides wonderfully interesting views of the fall color, aspens all a glow, with the trunks adding yet a different texture.. !

....on Route 66, the Mother Road in the U.S. This one was taken in New Mexico in November 2007 between near the towns of Grants and Cubero. I’ve always had a fascination with Rte 66 and next week I’m heading back down to southern California (Palm Springs) and hope to explore the California segments.
