Experience Day of the Dead in New Mexico
New Mexico is a melding of many cultures and ways of life both modern and centuries-old. These are woven together to form a vibrant tapestry of people and traditions unlike anything else in the nation. One such tradition is Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead.
A Mexican holiday dating back hundreds of years, Día de los Muertos originated with the Mexica (popularly known as the Aztecs). Before Spanish colonization, the celebration took place during the summer. Later it was moved to autumn in order to coincide with the Catholic celebrations of All Saints’ Eve, All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day.

Tohatchi woman recalls a scary moment from her childhood
In 1982, on the reservation land of Tohatchi, just north of Gallup, little 5-year-old Geneva B. Wheat had a favorite doll she adored. She received it as a gift from her father who often was gone most of the time due to working on the railroad.

Her father came home from working on the railroads one day and gave her a very special gift.
Wheat: Lots of ideas ran through my head just trying to guess what it could be. We didn’t have many toys back...
