Albuquerque – Eagle, White Buffalo and Water dances

Pueblo Cultural Center and native Indiana dances. Small troop but very well done. What is it about the power of their cultural ties that leads young people to learn these dances and want to perform them? The costume for the white buffalo dance was the best but I liked the water dance. The women did that one and they had water carrying pottery balanced on their heads the whole time. Wouldn’t be pretty if I tried it.
Exhibits of fantastic weaving, basketry, and beadwork from the 19 New Mexico Pueblos.
We ate there too. I had Festival stew (shredded pork in red chili) and Kent had ribs with red chili and chipotle sauce. All very good. So was the Pueblo apple pie…
