New Mexico Indians Draw Plenty Wampum

By ROBERT E. HUBER By United Press International SANTA FE, N. M. (UPI) — Gteronimo may have been a redakinned terror in the Southwest, but folks here love him. That'a because Geronimo's Apaches, along with the Navajos and the Pueblo Indians, have become New Mexico’s biggest tourist attractions.

In Santa Fe, the state’s capital city, Pueblo Indians take up more film in tourist’s cameras than any other sight in the 350-

year-old city.

Indians are reluctant about becoming tourist attractions. The Apaches, sardonic and often intolerant, still cling silently to their two reservations — Mescalero and Jicarilla. Only recently they have allowed photographs to be taken of their religious activities.

The Navajos, the nation’s largest tribe of Indians, "come out” in September each year at thier Navajo Fair at Window Rock, Ariz. They perform at the

ern Arizona, Increasing in number but holding to their ancient traditions of sheepherding and wandering. The two Apache reservations follow the Navajo pattern. The Mescalero Apache reservation in a beautiful mountain setting in southeastern New Mexico contains descendants of Geronimo’s followers. Only recently have the Mescaleros opened their reservation for tourists. The Jicarilla Apaches In northern New Mexico, however, hold a two-day celebration each year in mid-September, and appear more receptive to tourists. The Pueblo Indians hold an-

nual dances and ceremonials almost all months of the year, and they welcome visitors. Used to more than 300 years of contact with the white man, the Pueblo Indians offers the best insight into a past rich in history. Beginning in January each j year, the Taos Pueblo holds its ! annual Turtle Dance. The rest of the state’s 19 pueblos follow ' suit with various festivals i throughout the year. In summer months, Pueblo | ceremonials are common events, from the Santa Clara Pueblo Buffalo Dances to the Sandia Pueblo Feast Day Com Dance.

The Pueblo Dances mix Christianity and ancient Indian rituals Into a hodgepodge of holidays. The beginning of summer is symbolized by Indian dances on San Antonio’s Day, June 13, and Santa Ana’s feast day, July
