"Cage the badger and he will try to break from his prison and regain his native hole. Chain the eagle to the ground - he will strive to gain his freedom, and though he fails, he will lift his head and look up at the sky which is home - and we want to return to our mountains and plains, where we used to plant corn, wheat and beans."


-- Written by a Navajo in 1865

Santa Fe and her Museums

For 400 years, Santa Fe has been both a cultural and political hub for activity among numerous nations, including Spain, France, and the many native tribes that originally inhabited the area. From the historically significant artifacts to the magnificent artwork, each exhibit perfectly outlined the importance of New Mexican history. The restaurants kept our stomachs and spirits nourished, while the wonderful encounter with Dr. Joyce Begay-Foss allowed us to emerge ourselves in native culture, as well as a spiritual experience none of us expected. Overall, another wonderful day in Santa Fe. We are all looking forward to an excellent trip to the Taos Pueblo.
