My native language is Chatino, which is spoken by approximately fifty thousand indigenous people in the southwestern region of Mexico (the state of Oaxaca). Chatino is my first language, and Spanish is the second, and now I am learning English. I am twenty-eight years old. I have three brothers and two sisters, and I am the third in my family. When I was fourteen years old, I left my village and traveled to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, for work and to be able to attend high school. It was there that I began to study Spanish.

THE NEW NORMAL:A BROTHER'S PERSPECTIVE A Reflection by Bernard Keele, OFM For those who are curious what the changes increased sensitivity to our heightened in our Franciscan environment and our awareness of the needs to protect our own behavior looks like, I offer the following health and safety and the health and safety of perspective. I call it 'a brother's perspective' those around us leads us to a reassessment of because the emphasis of my life is service our relational roles as Franciscans in the oriented as opposed to others in my present and near future. This COVID-19 community whose thoughts and focus is awareness was to be a two week 'stay at sacramental and administrative. home', that some thought initially, before we would collectively resume the life activities From my urban friary of 8 religious men, that marked and defined our behavior. This roughly 20 weeks now of this pandemic brief 'flattening the curve' response would environment has affected our experience of have no lingering or lasting residue - or so we each other and ourselves, especially as it thought at the time. Rather, a wave of relates to our changing relational roles. If we unpredictable, unforeseen directives creating presuppose that a most important aspect of new boundaries and new modes of our vocation as Franciscans is our response interaction has caught us all by surprise. to the changes and needs of our society, how can we not be radically challenged and Our Franciscan friary's relational focus has changed during the past 140 days or so? become, to a certain extent, a measure of the quality of our common life together. It seems What have we experienced? The new we find ourselves with more time and reason constraints, modifications and limitations on to listen, understand, see and know one our behavior as a result of an informed, another. 0 2 THE NEW NORMAL:A BROTHER'S PERSPECTIVE CONTINUED: Celebrations, recreation, and the liturgies in our chapel have taken on a newer, greater significance, in my opinion. When the Rule of St. Francis is read aloud as part of our weekly discipline, the descriptive precepts of our observance of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience somehow, and perhaps mysteriously, become easier to interpret and comprehend without the usual distractions of our mind overwhelmingly and justifiably defending our own former and current habits - as our habitual mannerisms and patterns have been dispensed of and challenged, to say the least, in this COVID-19 environment! While our friary can properly be called our This new landscape of relational discovery can 'Administration House', this has not ever be humorous. From our time during the excluded a continuation of ministerial 'shelter in place' back in the Spring, our assistance at neighboring parishes for our community began to emphasize coming ordained members residing here. While we do together every Wednesday night to play not have a parish attached to the dominoes. While a few abstained, it was responsibilities of this friary, our priest's here presumed that those who were gathering at do reach out as they are still requested to do the table possessed some interest in the game. by other Pastors. Last week, murmuring blossomed forth from one of our conversational interludes that went One amazing example, in my estimation, that I something like this: "Domino night!"... "Yay!"... recently discovered about one of our younger "Do we have to?", someone replied..."What?" priests came to me indirectly through time "Haven't we all been looking forward to spent at a non-profit organization that has this?"... "But I don't like dominoes!", the same been receiving some of my time and attention. one responded. "But you have been here, There, I overheard a student (on a video chat) participating, all this time, week after week!" discussing how she was coping with the 'new "Look", he said, "I am interested in supporting normal'. And much to my own surprise, she you guys and spending time together, but my was mentioning how this priest was offering recreational interest has never been in the these daily 'podcast' reflections on the Gospel. GAME OF DOMINOES!" 0 3 THE NEW NORMAL:A BROTHER'S PERSPECTIVE CONTINUED: This priest she spoke of I knew, because, well, This sharing is but a brief, lite snapshot into I live with him! I was not aware of these 'daily how our lives here at the friary have been reflections on the Gospel' that evidently were impacted and changed. I am certain that this being broadcast far and wide through the year, 2020, will be one for the history books, Latino community in Albuquerque and so to speak. The gravity and heaviness of the beyond! So, yesterday, I approached this priest, pain, suffering, isolation, and economic and asked him to elaborate a little, amazed as I devastation will hopefully be written about, was at this creative outreach that was too. My prayer is that all of us continue to happening right under my nose without my listen to one another. And that our focus, as knowledge. It turns out that, yes, he waits we move toward 2021, be on our collective until the house is quiet, and then records a identity as brothers and sisters.

Wow! Thank you Fr. Jose and modifications we must create in the near Luis Peralta, OFM. for doing this! future, may we do so in a spirit of love. GARDEN GIFTS FROM MOTHER EARTH The Green Thumb of John Friebel, OFM John Friebel, OFM, is known far and wide for this green thumb! Brother John has been very busy over the past months tending his magnificent garden at St. Michael's Mission. Although Br. John's garden produces many gifts from Mother Earth, the pickles are most beloved! 0 4 THE ART OF GREEN CHILE STEW Living in The Chile Capital of the World New Mexico is the 'Chile Capital of the World.' As chile is a staple in New Mexican cuisine, it should be no surprise that our Southwest Franciscans have become chile culinary experts.

America’s great Southwest was born of many cultures, and a meal there reflects the diverse influences (and languages) of Native Americans, Mexicans, Spanish explorers, and herds of cow- boys, all of whom played vital roles in defining and redefining what is perhaps the most unique part of the United States. While Texas takes its culinary cues from the cowboy, neighboring Mexico, and some honest- to-goodness “Chili Queens,” Arizona menus are often inspired by both desert and mountains, an abundance of locally grown produce, and nearby California. New Mexican food is a genre all its own, neither Tex-Mex nor Mexican, but a slowly achieves high pop culture status as the aptly named Frito pie. evolved fusion of Native American recipes, The tales of how chili was created are as varied as its ingredients from regional ingredients, and south-of-the-border tra- cook to cook.

  • The 10 Essential Ingredients of a True New Mexican Kitchen— Regardless of Your Zip Code
    Tasting NM / classics Back to Basics The 10 essential ingredients of a true New Mexican kitchen— regardless of your zip code. by PETER BG SHOEMAKER I’M NOT A NATIVE New Mexican, but I eat like one. And I’m getting to the point where I’d like to cook like one as well. So it seemed a good idea to explore and share what real New Mexican cooks think are the most important ele- ments in a New Mexican kitchen. My first stop was a series of cookbooks produced in the 1960s by the women of the Española Hospital Auxiliary. The recipes in the hand-illustrated, photocopied, and hand-stapled booklets were divided among Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo dishes, and very useful for cluing me in on particular ingredients. I then spent some time with Janet Malcolm, chef and manager of the famed restaurant Rancho de Chimayó—which just received a James Beard America’s Classics Award—to find out what a lifelong New Mexican cook cooking for discerning New Mexicans con- Clockwise from above: Piñon siders important.

  • ALBUQUERQUE VISITOR's GUIDE Prepared for FJC National
    ALBUQUERQUE VISITOR’S GUIDE Prepared for FJC National Workshop for Bankruptcy Judges (April 18-20, 2016)1 A. A Very Short Introduction to Albuquerque Albuquerque is New Mexico’s metropolis, with an area population of about 900,000. The next biggest city, Las Cruces, has about 200,000, while Santa Fe tallies a paltry 150,000. True, Santa Fe is much older, has tons of history, and is much more of a tourist destination, but Albuquerque is a real city. Unlike Santa Fe, in Albuquerque it is hard to find New-Agers, affected would-be artists, Native American flute music, movie stars, howling coyotes, or rich Texans. The Rio Grande runs the length of the state and bisects Albuquerque. The city sits in the Rio Grande Valley and spreads up both sides. The Hyatt hotel, which is downtown, is 5,000 ft. above sea level, two miles east of the river. To the east the city rises toward the Sandia Mountains, which run generally north and south along the city’s eastern edge. Elevation at the base of the mountain is about 6,500 ft.; the peak is 10,500 ft. West of the river the “west mesa” slopes up from the valley bottom, culminating in the five volcanos that form the western skyline. Albuquerque can be divided roughly into Downtown, Old Town, Uptown, the North and South Valleys, the Northeast and Southeast Heights (shown as the “Eastside” on the attached map), and the West Side. Surrounding towns include Rio Rancho, Bernalillo, Los Lunas, Corrales, and Placitas. Route 66 ran through Albuquerque before I-40 was built.

  • Renewing the Creative Economy of New Mexico
    Building on the Past, Facing the Future: Renewing the Creative Economy of New Mexico Jeffrey Mitchell And Gillian Joyce With Steven Hill And Ashley M. Hooper 2014 This report was commissioned by the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs and prepared by UNM’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research. As will be discussed in this report, we interviewed arts and culture workers and entrepreneurs across the state of New Mexico. We asked them for two words to describe New Mexico in general and for two words to describe how New Mexico has changed. We entered these data into a ’word cloud’ software program. The program visually represents the data so that the more often a word is mentioned, the larger it appears. The figure above is a representation of the words offered by members of the New Mexico creative economy when interviewed for this project. Acknowledgements We would like to thank Secretary Veronica Gonzales for her vision – without her, this project would not have been possible. Also, at the Department of Cultural Affairs we would like to thank Anne Green-Romig, Loie Fecteau and Paulius Narbutas for their support and patience. At the Department of Tourism, we would like to thank Jim Orr for his help with tourism data. We owe a debt of gratitude to the more than 200 arts and culture workers throughout the state who took time out of their days to offer their insights and experiences in the arts and culture industries of New Mexico. At UNM-BBER, we would like to thank Jessica Hitch for her intrepid data collection, Catherine A.
