Documinitary: Disabilities Conference at Pueblo of Jemez
Quick, rough-cut chronicle of speaker, Christina Irene's visit to Pueblo of Jemez (Hemish), a sovereign nation north of Albuquerque and west of Sante Fe, New Mexico. This documinitary highlights the annual Disability Awareness Conference put on by the Jemez Vocational Rehabilitation Program, where Christina was the keynote speaker for the 2019 theme Don't Judge What You Can't See. Also featured in this little movie are the Walatowa Veterans' Association (presentation of flags), the Little Eagles Drum Group, the Pueblo of Jemez / Walatowa Visitor Center, Santa Fe National Forest, and Jemez Historical Site.
*One correction: sub missionaries for monks in the narration.

Travel Guide New Mexico tm Sandoval County The Jemez Mountain Trail
The Jemez Mountain Trail twists through time and terrain, contrasting vermilion desert cliffs and snowy alpine peaks, 13 th century stone dwellings and the birth of the Atomic Age in nearly the same breath. Travelers may fish canyon waters at dawn, don snowshoes for a woodland trek, explore ancient Pueblo ruins and view elk crossing an immense volcanic caldera all in the same day.
The trail begins at the junction of U.S. 550 and N.M. 4 in the pastoral village of San Ysidro, named for the patron saint of farmers. Passing a restored church of the same name, N.M. 4 slowly winds past Jemez Pueblo, home to more than 3,000 tribal members who call the village Walatowa in their native language, Towa. Jemez Pueblo sits at the gateway to the spectacular Canon de San Diego, where the road bisects reddish-orange cliffs as it enters the Red Rocks of the Jemez. The Walatowa Visitor Center (877-733-5687) is wedged in these rocks, along with roadside stands selling crafts, fry bread and red and green chile stew. Jointly operated by Jemez Pueblo and the Santa Fe National Forest, the visitor center houses a museum and gift shop and provides information about the area.

2015 Racing Southwest Jemez Cruise
Annual Jemez Cruise put on by Racing Southwest. Cars from all over New Mexico met at the Santa Anna Star Center to check out everyone's ride before starting the cruise. The cruise follows Hwy-550 North to the Jemez Pueblo Village where spectators line the main street to watch the thousands of cars roll in. After lunch the cruise continues to the Valles Caldera where the annual picture is taken. Some finish off the cruise by continuing into Los Alamos then into Santa Fe. But most turn around and head back into Jemez, then back onto 550. 2015 had a great turnout, and even with the rain and snow there were no significant crashes or injuries! Look forward to doing it again next year!

The Other American Revolution: Archaeology and the Pueblo Revolt of 1680
Why is one of the most successful indigenous rebellions in the Americas nearly unknown? In 1680 the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico rose up against their European colonizers. For the next twelve years the Pueblos lived free from Spanish oppression, a period that proved crucial in the formation of the modern American Southwest. Why didn't we all learn about the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 in history class? Harvard anthropology professor Matthew J. Liebmann explains.
