Winter Solstice Edition, 2007

When you moved, what happened to . . . ?

            the buffalo. 

Tapestry's herd of 12 buffalo found a new home with a Comanche man who loves, understands, and raises these animals. We miss the buffalo a lot, but there are plans afoot for them to take part in a future cultural education program for Indian youth, so it all seems good.  The most important thing is that they and their descendants are a permanent part of the Sacred Hoop again, and will never go back to the lives as "livestock" they had before they came to us.

           the wild mustangs. 

Two of the three wild mustangs that were part of our "Mustang Freedom Project" met untimely deaths as indirect consequences of being captured in the first place. The third and the oldest of them, the 23-year-old white mare, was given a new home a few miles east of Sowbelly with other wild mustangs living on Pine Ridge in a herd owned and maintained by Melvin Nation. We'll be writing the story of these mustangs and what we learned from them in our book on "The Voice of the Horse."

           all the other animals. 

They came to New Mexico with us!
