 Harris & Martinez The history of Taos Pueblo include the plotting of the Pueblo Revolt in 1680, a siege by U.S. forces in 1847, and the return by President Nixon in 1970 of the Pueblo's 48,000 acres (194 kmē) of mountain land taken by President Theodore Roosevelt and designated as the Carson National Forest early in the twentieth century.
Blue Lake, which the people of the Pueblo traditionally consider sacred, was included in this return of Taos land. The Pueblo's web site names the acquisition of the sacred Blue Lake as the most important event in its history due to the spiritual belief that the Taos natives originated from the lake itself. An additional 764 acres south of the ridge between Simpson Peak and Old Mike Peak and west of Blue Lake were transferred back to the Pueblo in 1996. |

 Your Land We removed all of the Non Native Species of plants and trees. Russian Olive and others. These made our Coyote Fence on one side of the property, We then fenced in the rest.
Next we planned our Well, Septic and Electrical Hookups. We took our time because we wanted to get the placements right and so that they would be serviceable once we further developed our property.
We did not want to rush in and develop our land, build structures and plan our use of the land until we had worked with the land for a complete year. All Seasons. |

 Hog Farm Hippie Bus "Oh God, you'd really have to read about it. A bunch of these people sort of bailed and came out here to New Mexico and had a commune here. This was one of the famous 'hippie buses'.
You know there was a big hippie bus caravan. It went all over the place. Wound up in Haight-Ashbury and then some of them came out here.
It's really painted up, isn't it? What was Ram Dass's name before he was Ram Dass? (The question went unanswered.) |

 Oxygen Nichols In this video Oxygen Nichols just talks about the bus, but the bus isn't in the video. To see the bus video, click here. "It's our Hog Farm bus. It's the Road Hog. And we traveled around the country in it. Andi it went to Woodstock and, you know... We had 'the great bus race' with Kesey's bus in Aspen Meadows, so it's kind of a famous bus back in its hay-day and really beautiful and running and everything. We had a fire in it at one point and then we were trying to get it fixed up in 1970 to take it back on the road. And we didn't get the one part that we needed to make it to the summer solstice. So from then on it just sat..." |
