"THE STORY is more than a reminder of humanity or a teacher of tribal ways. It is a thing that people hunger after. Need to remain alive. Like a natural portion of fresh water, clean air, good food. If the American air has gone strange, the water turned murky and the food become filled with unnatural additives, can you imaging how unhealthy the story told has become?" - Larry Littlebird

Hamaatsa Public Access Road dispute
with San Felipe Pueblo
“In our Keres language, we have a word, “Bah’shraa’me”. It expresses a kind caring action towards others and acknowledges the power and mystery of a divine plan of an almighty Creator as the way for harmony and peace to prevail for and toward one another. This behavior from the San Felipe Pueblo tribal government executed towards Hamaatsa is not the way exemplified by my Pueblo people. It instead reflects behavior worldwide of other humans where the oppressed become the oppressor. We can all benefit to take note of this dramatic historic incident unfolding within our beautiful state of New Mexico.” – Larry Littlebird
