[Leica] [OM] IMG: Native American guide at Taos Pueblo

[Nathan Wajsman]

I only got around to looking at your post this morning of the Spanish Día de la Hispanidad, known as Columbus Day in the US, and I call it Genocide Day. Goot to see a young Native American woman like Jaelynn, and also a nice story you link to—not nice overall, but at least with a good ending.

Cheers,
Nathan

For most of the 20th century, Blue Lake was controlled by the U.S. Forest Service as a recreation area.  In 1970, the lake was returned to tribal control.
