    I would like to ad on a personal note, that my mother, Helen Adams who passed away on December 15, 2008 was instrumental in helping the Taos Indians regain control of their sacred lands and her incredible frienship with Juan de Jesus Romero, the then Cacique of the Pueblo will forever have been her most important relationship. Say what you will about Ricahrd Nixon, but he not only supported the Indians retaining their land, he signed it into law.
