Video (4min 58sec): Red Lake Healing Journey at Taos Pueblo.

On March 21, 2005, a school shooting in Red Lake, Minnesota left children and community members devastated.

Since then, members of this largely Native American community have banded together to help heal the emotional wounds left by that tragedy.

Students from Red Lake visited Taos Pueblo Day School April 23, 2009 where they were treated to presentations by TDS students and a mini-concert by renowned musician Robert Mirabal.

"One of the things we wanted to do was build a culture group, because where we live we have a great culture, but the kids are distant from it. So, I'd been up here a couple of times and I the difference between where we live in the swamp and the lake and up here, and because the people have never been moved off their land and we have never been moved off our land, I thought it was just a perfect place to bring some of the kids to start."
