Hanging Out On Mi Peublo

Monday:

They say 80-100 of the natives live in the village adobes year round.
The rest live comfortably in the town of Taos.

The pole is used during a ceremonial right of passage that boys go
through. Not many details were revealed about these rituals since
they prefer to keep everything a secret to the outside world. That
includes their language.

The village had a Spanish influenced church that was recently rebuilt
and honors the Virgin Mary and Guadeloupe. There was another older
church that sat next to a graveyard that was left in rubble after it
was bombed years ago. Many, many craft shops in the pueblo.
