We got a wonderful handmade piece pipe and some wonderful tobacco to smoke out of it, a deer bone choker, and numerous other things. One of the Pueblos that I was hanging out with started calling me Flies With The Night Hawks, so I kept the name as my Pagan name and shortened it to be internet friendly. My avatar- it's the Wolfe family tartan. My grandmother was a Wolfe.
They also have good red chili in Taos,... neat place. In fact, don't know how they do it, but I've seen green chili powder that came from, Taos. I grew up partly in Tucumcari, New Mexico, for the first twelve years, then was sent to the "Blind School," in Alamo Gordo, down by White Sands.
That's an interesting story... And yes, it was interesting to see what everyone fessed up to on their names.
Went to "The School" with mostly Pueblo, Zuni, and Dine' as fellow students, just to throw that in.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
