Albuquerque 1

Me standing next to a sculpture, the "Corn Maiden" in front of the Albuquerque Pueblo Museum. Corn was a critical food for the Indians from 500 AD on. The museum had an excellent exhibit on great Indian women artists. The women were responsible for keeping the tribe together, through the generations. Interesting exhibit, especially one piece by Helen Hardin, who died of breast cancer at a relatively young age of 41 in 1984.
