In 1948, Miguel Trujillo, a WWII Marine veteran and member of the Isleta Pueblo, sued the county registrar (Trujillo v. Garley) and ultimately won the right to vote for Native Americans in New Mexico.

On #MiguelTrujilloDay, we celebrate the work of Native American voting rights activists who continue to fight tirelessly to secure the equal right to vote.

I got a copy of Erdoes and Ortiz's American Indian Myths and Legends (1984) for Christmas and it is fascinating to me how various Native American tales portray romance between humans and non-humans. Especially compared to the European takes on that motif, which usually center on the relationship being doomed from the start, because humans belong only with humans. But this does not seem to be the default in the Native American tales in this collection!

There was one story which did portray the relationship as doomed (Tolowim woman and butterfly man, Maidu) and one where a human woman was taken against her will and gladly rescued by her husband (The stolen wife, Tewa). But there is also a tale where a wife is willingly taken by a great buffalo and when her human husband steals her back and kills White Buffalo Chief, she mourns him so that her jealous husband kills her (Apache chief punishes his wife, Tiwa).

That last tale, while tragic, already goes out of its way to show that the woman was happy with the powerful buffalo, and there are four stories in the collection that make a point of ending in happiness:

The industrious daughter who wouldn't marry (Cochiti)

A beautiful young woman who is a master at making beautiful garments spurns all her human suitors, until it is widely known that she doesn't care for young men. Coyote hears of this and goes to court her, dressed in his finest clothes. He does not offer her any gifts, but he dances very well and he brings a branch of blackcurrants, which are her favourite. She is pleased with him, so she takes him home, sleeps with him, and gives birth to two little coyotes. Her parents are dismayed and the other people turn away from her, but Coyote brings her to his home under the ground. There he has all kinds of clothes just as fine as the ones she makes, and she lives there happily with him ever after.

The Serpent of the Sea (Zuni)

The beautiful daughter of the priest-chief of the village Home of the Eagles cannot abide dust or dirt. Every day she spends almost all her time bathing in the sacred spring of the Serpent of the Sea and this angers him. He changes himself into a beautiful baby boy and she finds him and takes him home to care for him. As soon as she falls asleep the Serpent takes his true form again, coiling himself all around the maiden and all around the room. In the morning the whole household panics, but the girl’s father understands what happened and begs the Serpent to let his daughter return to her family once more, even though she now belongs to him. The Serpent moves enough to release her, finally waking her. She is very frightened, but after four days of ceremonies she bids her family goodbye and goes with the Serpent. As they travel the Serpent takes the shape of a beautiful young man, and speaks in a kinder and kinder voice, until she dares to look at him. Startled she asks him where the terrifying creature has gone. He explains that he is the serpent, but that he loves her, and that if she will consent to come and stay with him they will live and love each other forever in the Waters of the World. The maiden goes with him, forgetting her sadness and forgetting her family, and lived with him ever after.

The man who married the moon (Isleta Pueblo)

The great leader, weaver, and medicine man Nah-chu-rú-chu (the bluish light of dawn) got tired of all the young women trying to win his affection. He proclaimed that he would marry the girl who could grind corn meal so fine that it would stick to his pearl water dipper. The only woman who could do it was the Moon, who was an Isleta maiden before she went to live into the sky. He marries her and loves his moon-wife above all things. Two sisters, the Yellow Corn Maiden, are so jealous that they persuade the moon to admire her reflection in the water of the well, and push her in to drown her. The chief mourns so deeply that it no longer rains and all the crops begin dying, until they bring him a mysterious flower from a mound in the forest where his wife disappeared. He performs a sacred ritual and the moon is brought back to life. The corn maidens are changed into helpful, gentle snakes as punishment, and the moon lives happily with her husband.

The woman who married a merman (Coos)

A girl who refuses all her suitors and goes swimming in the creek every day becomes pregnant without understanding how. She gives birth to a baby that always cries unless it is left outside, where someone brings it seal meat to eat. The young mother watches over her baby and at night is approached by a man who says he is her husband and promises she will be safe if she goes with him. The merman takes his wife and child to the bottom of the sea, where many people lived. Her husband was one of the five sons of the village chief and the couple lived there happy and satisfied. She goes to her relatives once to get arrows for her little boy to play with, and once to visit her brothers. The second time they see her shoulders are turning dark and scaly like those of a sea serpent. She never returned again, but sea serpents came into their harbour, and every summer and winter they would send a whale ashore, a gift to their kinsmen above the sea.

Erdoes and Ortiz even draw a parallel between the tale of the Serpent of the Sea and Beauty and the Beast, but I rather love the girl running off with the Coyote and "the woman who married a merman" is such a lovely counterpoint to the selkie and mermaid stories I grew up with. I'm really happy with this book~

"This is the first biography of a Pueblo leader, Pablo Abeita, a man considered as the most important Native leader in the Southwest in his day. Pablo Abeita's life in Isleta Pueblo, just south of Albuquerque, was a colorful and important one. Educated in the best schools in New Mexico, Abeita became a strong advocate for Isleta and the other eighteen New Mexico pueblos during the periods of assimilation, boarding schools, and the reform of US Indian policy."

Albuquerque, the largest city in New Mexico, is a dynamic mix of history, culture, and modern amenities. Often referred to as ABQ, Burque, or the Duke City, it was established in 1706 as a Spanish colonial outpost, named after Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, the Duke of Alburquerque.

The city’s history is deeply influenced by Native American cultures, particularly the Tanoan and Keresan peoples who resided along the Rio Grande long before European settlers arrived. Albuquerque’s landscape is marked with petroglyphs, ancient rock carvings that speak to its early inhabitants. The Pueblo of Isleta and Sandia Pueblo are notable for preserving their rich cultural heritage.

Geographically, Albuquerque is located in the Albuquerque Basin, bordered by the Sandia Mountains to the east and the West Mesa to the west, with the Rio Grande flowing through its heart. The city enjoys a high desert climate, with hot summers, mild winters, and low humidity, making it ideal for outdoor activities.

Culturally, Albuquerque is known for its diversity and vibrant arts scene. It hosts the annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the world’s largest hot air balloon festival. The city’s cuisine is a delightful mix of traditional New Mexican and global flavors. Historical landmarks such as the San Felipe de Neri Church and the Petroglyph National Monument offer insights into the city’s rich past.

Albuquerque is a hub for technology, media, and fine arts, with the University of New Mexico playing a pivotal role in its academic and cultural life. The local economy is supported by healthcare, research, and tourism sectors.

Today, Albuquerque is a bustling metropolis with a diverse population and a cityscape that seamlessly blends historic and modern elements. The city is divided into distinct quadrants, each with its unique character—from the historic Old Town with its adobe buildings to the modern downtown area with skyscrapers.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do in Albuquerque. The Sandia Peak Tramway offers stunning views of the city and surrounding landscapes, while the Rio Grande provides opportunities for water sports and scenic walks along its bosque, a cottonwood forest lining the riverbanks.

The city’s infrastructure supports a variety of transportation options, including highways, the Albuquerque International Sunport, and an extensive public transit system. It is also known for its bike-friendly paths and pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods.

Albuquerque is a city that honors its rich heritage while embracing the future. Its unique blend of cultural traditions, historical significance, and modern amenities makes it a fascinating place to explore and live. Whether visiting for the breathtaking balloon festival, exploring its historic sites, or enjoying its vibrant arts scene, Albuquerque has something for everyone.

Lindsey Graham just compared the U.S. war crimes of using nuclear weapons against civilians of Hiroshima and Nagsaki to support his endorsement of the Palestinian genocide.

The U.S. should have never deployed nuclear weapons because it is ethically!wrong The U.S. also did not need to deploy the bombs to end the war!

The development of the nuclear bombs within the United States was conducted on stolen land of  Mescalero Apache, and the near by "Pueblos of Acoma, Cochiti, Isleta, Jemez, Laguna, Nambe, Ohkay Owingeh, Picuris, Pojoaque, Sandia, San Felipe, San Ildefonso, Santa Ana, Santa Clara, Santo Domingo, Taos, Tesuque, Zuni and Zia." https://www.newmexico.org/native-culture/native-communities/ https://nuclearprinceton.princeton.edu/nuclear-weapons-testing-0

While the fallout of the initial test fanned north east it affected the Indigenous nations across the entire state. The initial test and every test following should be prosecuted as a war crime committed against each Indigenous nation of the "state" if not every "state". The long term health affects, contamination of: water, milk, vegetables, and of the land itself is horrific crime.

Nuclear testing in the Pacific in the Marshall Islands also forcefully removed the families from their homes. The people of the Marshall islands suffered acute radiation sickness and in some instances could not return to their homes.

All of which is to say it is abhorrent as the occupation murders entire families are in Gaza, Lindsey Graham has the audacity to come out and ask for the U.S. to continue it's active participation in genocide by directly supplying more weapons.

The history of U.S. war crimes begins with genocide at it's foundation which continues today by planning with and arming the IDF to commit genocide against Palestinians.

It is clear Lindsey Graham is speaking not out of turn but seeking to support another nation built by colonization and genocide
