I think today is day four... not so sure though.

Yea I think it is..

Well anyways today our group woke up early and loaded up our wonderful bus to go to Taos Pueblo. Our two hour journey was accompanied by an insane amount of M&M's and Snickers. So much for trying to be healthy. That idea kinda went out the window.

 On our way to Taos,  we stopped at a church called  Santuario de Chimayo. This is a sacred place that is still a fully functional Church. It is very old, yet very amazing. There were beautiful stained glass windows, and inside the Church there is a small room designated for gathered the sacred dirt( the supply never runs out no matter how many people take it).  This Church is special for the fact that it has healing powers. In the basement of the Church, there were pictures posted of people who needed help, and there were also crutches, leg braces, and wheel chairs left by the people who had been healed by this Church.

 From there, we finished our trip to Taos Pueblo. The buildings were very interesting to learn about because they were all made of mud, yet have been standing since the original Pueblos had created them. 

The most shocking thing I learned today though was that Native Americans did not get the right to vote until 1950, nearly 90 years after African Americans were able to vote. It seems so weird to see how our country had treated these people so poorly. We gave slaves the right to vote before the Native Americans. That just seems very weird to me because of the way the American society had treated slaves nearly 100 years ago. The US had treated the Natives so badly.
