Description
The people of the American Southwest have a rich cultural heritage that dates back thousands of years. This presentation focuses on the ancient people from the Pueblo of Gisewa and muses on how life would have been in the distant past before the arrival of the Spanish. The usage and meaning of artifacts and replicas are examined from the perspective of a direct descendant of the Jemez people who once lived at Gisewa.

Magdalena is also the Instructional Coordinator at the Jemez Historic Site where he educates the public about the Jemez People.
