THEN NOW
The Nambe Pueblo

Located about 15 miles north of Santa Fe at the
base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Nambé means “People of the Round Earth” in the Tewa
language, and the pueblo people are from the Tewa
ethnic group of Native Americans. The Pueblo of
Nambé has existed since the 14th century and was a
primary cultural and religious center at the time of the
arrival of Spanish colonists in the very early 17th century. Nambé is known for a distinctive style of pottery.

The Navajo Nation

It is the largest land area retained by a U.S. tribe
and is managed via agreements with the United
States Congress as a sovereign Indian nation.

The reservation includes approximately 27,000 square
miles. Its boundaries extend from northwestern New
Mexico into northeastern Arizona and southeastern
Utah, a combined area larger than many U.S. states.
Three smaller bands of Navajos are also located away
from the main reservation boundaries at Alamo, To’hajiilee and Ramah. Key cities include Crownpoint,
Shiprock, Alamo, To’hajiilee and Ramah. The capital
is Window Rock, AZ.

The Ohkay Pueblo

Ohkay Owingeh was previously known as San
Juan Pueblo until returning to its pre-Spanish
name in November 2005.

The Tewa name of the pueblo means “place of the
strong people”. San Juan (O’ke in Tewa) was the center of an Indian meeting ground, its people so powerful that only an O’ke native could declare war for
the Pueblo Indians. Although called a Taoseño, Pueblo
Revolt leader Popé actually was a San Juan native. It is
one of the largest Tewa-speaking pueblos with a population of about 6,748. In 1598, Oñate traveled north
from México, accompanied by a caravan of a thousand
soldiers, colonists, missionaries and Tlaxcalan Mexican Indians, along
with cattle, sheep,
goats, oxen and
horses, and arrived
in Yungeh Place of
the Mockingbird in
present-day Ohkay
Owingeh.

Buildings at the site lack windows,
preventing people from seeing
anything not related to their own
duties at the base. Of course, these
projects are only the tip of the rumored iceberg. Area 51 is arguably
better known for its connection
with aliens and UFOs than with
any of these aircraft. Some believe
that an alien spacecraft crashed in
Roswell, New Mexico, and that the
government shipped the wreckage
and a body to Area 51 for examination and study. A few go even
further, claiming the facility has
underground levels and tunnels
connecting it to other secret sites,
and that it contains warehouses
full of alien technology and even
living alien specimens. Some theorize that the aliens are actually
the ones running the show and
that their goal is to create a human-alien hybrid (the aliens seem

to have lost the ability to reproduce on their own). Stories cast
the aliens in roles from benevolent
visitors to evil overlords who subsist on a paste made from groundup human bits. Air Force representatives have publicly denied
that aliens have anything at all to
do with Area 51, but that seems to
have only strengthened conspiracy
theorists’ wilder suggestions. June

Stories circulate about extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs)

the government has agreed to allow aliens to abduct people at will,

paste that is later smeared onto
EBEs as a source of nutrition.-END

Holy Week in New Mex 1919
William Penhallow
Henderson (1877-1943)
Depicts a Good Friday procession of Hispanic Penitentes
re-enacting the Passion of
Christ. The painting presents
participants in the procession
carrying a huge cross, while others flay their backs with scourges to atone for their sins. Ironically, his Cézannesque planes of
color and his Post-Impressionist style seems incongruously
cheery for the depiction of such
a serious ritual.
