On our final day in Santa Fe, we visited the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture on Museum Hill. The museum features art from the Indigenous people of New Mexico and their history, cycles of life, architecture, language and song, plans and animals, trading posts, survival, and arts.
Here is a tiny sample of what I saw:
 |
| "Coming to America," 1996 by Esther Nisenthal Krinitz, a holocaust survivor who arrived with her family in New York City on June 10, 1949. She and her sister ran from the German Army in Poland when her family were sent to death camps. They pretended to be Catholic farm girls. This piece is made of fabric and needle work. |
 |
| These carvings are made by Felipe Archuleta who lost his job as a carpenter and began carving animals. His and other New Mexico wood carvers works are shown. |
 |
| "Tigre" by Luis Tapla, 1970; "Hog" by Ron Archuleta Rodriguez 2003, wood metal, rubber vinyl and paint. |
