Description

New Mexico’s rich tapestry is woven from the lives and experiences of diverse cultures and peoples. Among these, the Salina Pueblos, their Native Jumano and Tompiro peoples, Sor Maria de Agreda, and the Spaniards all played significant roles in shaping the region's heritage. Their stories are intertwined, filled with exploration, colonization, and religious influences.

Join us for a special presentation by Jumano member and speaker Bill Martinez Acosta on how the Salinas Pueblos, their Native Jumano and Tompiro peoples, Sor Maria de Agreda, and Spaniards all played a significant role in shaping the heritage of the Salinas Province. In his presentation titled "Exploring the Story of Salinas Pueblos, Jumano/Tompiro, Sor Maria de Jesus de Agreda, and Spaniards - An Intricate Tapestry of Cultures and Mysticism from a Native Perspective," Bill will share how these intertwined histories are still evident in New Mexico today. The ruins of the Salinas Pueblos stand as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of their inhabitants. The Jumanos' influence on trade and cultural exchange can be traced through the region's history. Sor Maria's story continues to inspire religious and historical interest. The Spaniards' impact on the cultural and demographic landscape of New Mexico remains a crucial part of the state's heritage. Their stories are a reminder of the interconnectedness of cultures and the impact of historical events on the present.
