Artist's depiction of a dance scene at a La Junta village similar to those mentioned in the records of the Espejo entrada in 1582. Although somewhat fanciful, especially the large plastered pueblo structure upon which part of the audience sits, such colorful events with elaborate costumes and body painting are plausible and likely elements of village life at La Junta. This 1994 painting by artist Feather Radha can be seen in Restaurante Lobby's OK in Ojinaga, Mexico. Courtesy Elsa Socorro Arroyo. |
