Last year I performed in Argentina. That experience was mixed, except for the meeting with native people in the village of Amaicha. There were so many points of connection. The village was a mirror of an Isleta or Laguna village. The people looked the same, as did their houses and art. I felt I was in the houses of relatives of my Pueblo friends of the north. I also went to Cusco, and what emerged there was knowledge that this area was a navel for many tribal nations who migrated north. I saw the connection between Pueblos and the Mvskoke people.
