"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 the Sandia Mountains

So far I've truly enjoyed this unit. I'm still getting used to the altitude change, as we're 10,400 feet above sea level. I've been shrugging off altitude induced fatigue by tacking tons of breathtaking pictures of the landscape. Learning about the Pueblo Native American culture at the Indian Pueblo Cultural center was also greatly intriguing. I am very excited to learn more about Native American culture in the coming days.
