Congress set aside $4 billion to compensate victims after the US Forest Service accidentally set the largest wildfire in state history. The vast majority of victims haven’t been paid, and many can’t rebuild until they are. ProPublica’s Byard Duncan teams up with Patrick Lohmann, of Source New Mexico, for this report.

FOOD, SEPT. 27: “HOLEY MOLY”

HUMIDITY MATTERS

I have not had the Ouroboros bagels reported in your 9/27 edition, and so cannot comment on them. I’m sure they are excellent. However, I have been baking bagels for over 30 years (for my own consumption, at alti-

tudes all across the range, from sea level to Santa Fe) and so have to comment on one point in your column.

Yes, steam baking is no substitute for boiling. Yes, humidity matters. And yes, the finish on the bagel will vary quite a bit depending on what is in the boiling water (lye, baking soda, sugar, barley malt syrup). But, the real key to a good bagel is SLOW COLD RISING. Giving the dough and the yeast at least 12-18 hours to interact is what gives the basic dough (with or without fillings or toppings) the full satisfying flavor of a real water bagel.

Most commercial bakeries don’t have the space or take the time for slow rising, which (even if they boil, which most don’t) makes their product more like a doughnut shaped dinner roll than the real thing.

Prosecutors want to keep Española rally shooter locked up as he faces attempted murder charges.

Every election season SFR reprises a favorite tradition: pop quizzing candidates regarding information pertinent to the communities they hope to represent. This week, it’s time for District 2 hopefuls.

District 2 covers the east side, including most of the South Capitol neighborhood, the vast majority of St. Michael’s Drive and neighborhoods along the eastern half of Rodeo Road to the southern edge of the city limits. Incumbent Councilor Michael Garcia seeks to keep his seat for a second term, while challenger Phil Lucero says he aims to work more urgently for a bikeable and walkable city.

Per SFR’s ground rules, the candidates agree to not use any sources aside from their own knowledge to answer the quiz questions. SFR records the conversations and reports the answers verbatim. Early voting in the Nov. 7 election begins Oct. 10. Read the Pop Quiz for candidates in District 4 and District 3 at sfreporter.com/elections. (Evan Chandler)

1. Name the City of Santa Fe’s drinking water sources and at least one project planned by the Water Division to address future water needs.

2. What are the current policies about camping on city land and approximately how much has the city spent to clean up encampments this year to date?

3. Based on August 2023 crime mapping from the Santa Fe Police Department, which two crimes were most common in District 2?

4. How much did immigrant entrepreneurs generate in business income for Santa Fe in 2019?

5. For every $1 the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund awards, how much additional funding do recipients need to acquire for projects? Bonus question: What sources can be used for that additional funding?

SCORE: 3/5

Elected to City Council in 2019, incumbent Michael Garcia serves on the Quality of Life Committee and the Public Works and Utilities Committee. Garcia graduated from the University of New Mexico with a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s degree in public administration.

1. So we’ve got the Buckman Direct Diversion and then we’ve got the Canyon Road Water Treatment Plant. And one project is the return

flow pipeline. *Incomplete Answer—partial credit*

2. It’s no longer allowed. Restrictions were allowed during the pandemic, but it is no longer allowed, and we spent easily over $1 million for cleanup.

3. Property crime and shoplifting.

4. What year did you say? [SFR then replied, “2019.”] Oh, that’s a great question. Let’s say $15 million.

5. It’s $3 overall. Sources can be anywhere, I mean, they can be private, state, federal.

1. The four potable water sources for the city are: the Santa Fe River, the city well field, the Buckman Direct Diversion and the Buckman wells. The city is currently working to establish a 17-mile return flow pipeline to carry water from a wastewater treatment plant on Airport Road and pump it into the Rio Grande. Still in the planning phase, the project faces several hurdles—and significant disagreement over its design. Also in the works are renovations to the Nichols and McClure reservoirs, which feed into a water treatment facility on Canyon Road.

2. During the pandemic, the city allowed camping in public spaces, but in August of 2022, officials returned to enforcing city ordinances that prohibit the practice. According to the most recent Homelessness and Safe Outdoor Spaces update from the Community Health and Safety Department, the city has spent $1.2 million cleaning up encampments so far this year.

3. Santa Fe Police Department crime stats mapping shows assault offenses and motor vehicle theft as the two most common crimes reported in District 2 in August. Larceny tops the list for the city as a whole.

4. According to data for a plan underway in conjunction with the city Office of Economic Development, the American Immigration Council estimates approximately 1,800 immigrant entrepreneurs generated over $35 million that year in the city.

5. City code stipulates for every dollar awarded from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, a grantee must leverage a minimum of $3 in outside funding or resources. Bonus question (worth half a point): Affordable Housing Trust Fund grant recipients can be matched by philanthropic funds, organizational resources, other federal or state funds, impact investments, in-kind resources or private debts.

SCORE: 3/5

Apart from being a climate educator, Phil Lucero serves on the Planning Commission and is a member of the city’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Lucero graduated from Colorado College and later earned his master’s degree in environmental education from the University of New Mexico.

1. Well, there’s the Buckman Direct Diversion, there’s the watershed, and there are aquifers— or the Buckman wells. So the Buckman wells, Buckman Direct Diversion, and then there’s the watershed and the water coming through there. And then I think a plan down the road is I think we need to revise the wastewater treatment plan, and I think there’s also the Santa Fe River, and the San Juan/Chama project as well. And the release pipeline is also I think another future project that I’m certainly interested in.

2. I don’t…well, let me think. I think there should be a

policy in place, or I don’t know if there is a policy in place, about directing folks to city shelters perhaps. I don’t know that we’re necessarily kicking folks out of encampments, but if we can direct them to city shelters, that’s, I think, an approach that is in place. Don’t quote me on that, though. Well, I mean you have to quote me on that. Well, I mean, I think this is ballpark. I would probably say $75,000

3. I would say car theft, and I don’t know if this is related, but the theft of catalytic converters. I know that that’s a problem. That could be the same issue. I know that they’re both problems. (Partial credit.)

4. 2019, so this is before the pandemic. Well, I would hope it’s a lot. I’ll give you a number because I guess that’s what you’re asking for. I would think $800,000

5. I would say at least $3,000. No, no, no, no. Three per dollar given, maybe? [SFR asks the bonus question.] Federal sources perhaps, or grants, I would think.

ation and, in some cases, for limited damage to housing and possessions.

But even for people who lost everything, those payments were capped at about $38,000. Most people got far less, and some got nothing. Few people were given temporary housing. Farmers and ranchers are struggling to earn a living.

The money for the far more difficult and expensive task of rebuilding is supposed to come from a $4 billion fund set up by Congress just for this fire—an acknowledgment of the Forest Service’s culpability in triggering the blaze. But the FEMA office handling those payments didn’t start sending checks as quickly as expected, and it has yet to spend 98% of the money.

FEMA has defended its rollout of the claims office, saying it is moving as fast as a federal agency can. Normally, FEMA offers only short-term disaster aid. This is only the second time it has been tasked with paying survivors so they could rebuild after a federal agency lost control of a prescribed burn meant to prevent a wildfire. FEMA established policies, hired staff and opened offices in eight months.

Faced with delays in getting paid and questions about what FEMA will ultimately cover, a local attorney representing Naranjo and several hundred other survivors recently convinced a federal judge to allow some of her aging, infirm clients to testify under oath about what they have lost—an unusual move intended to preserve knowledge that their relatives don’t have.

Antonia Roybal-Mack, the lawyer, said she wants to make sure these victims are made whole if they die before they get a check from the federal government. If they end up filing suit to get what they believe they deserve, “these clients will likely expire before they get their day in court,” she said.

BY PATRICK LOHMAN, Source New Mexico BYARD DUNCAN, ProPublica

On a recent sunny morning in the high pastures of Northern New Mexico, Tito Naranjo greeted a pair of federal surveyors on a patch of gravel where his traditional adobe home once stood.

Naranjo used his walking stick to show them the outline of where his sunroom had been before it burned up in a wildfire accidentally set by the US Forest Service last year. They walked slowly to the edge of the property, past a blackened willow tree that once held a tire swing, and stepped over a creek now empty of trout.

The tour confirmed what satellite imagery hinted at: This 97-acre property was a total loss. The home Naranjo and his wife had

shared for 50 years, a stand of aspen trees, a small apple orchard, miles of fencing and a bridge he had built himself, all gone.

Naranjo, 86, hasn’t laid the first adobe of a replacement home, hammered a fence post or planted a single tree. And with congestive heart failure raising the risk of a stroke, he worries he won’t live long enough to do so.

Seventeen months after losing their homes and livelihoods in the Hermits PeakCalf Canyon Fire, Naranjo and thousands of others in the aging, rural communities in New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains are still waiting for money to rebuild.

As the fire swept across the mountains for five months in mid-2022, the Federal Emergency Management Agency responded as it would to any disaster. It provided roughly $6.2 million to about 1,100 households for short-term expenses like housing and evacu-

Her clients include farmers and ranchers who lived off land that was burned in the fire or that was washed out in the floods that followed. According to sworn court filings, they include a Vietnam veteran who said he was “blown to hell” in the war, a salon owner who said her doctors told her that her recent lung disease came from “chemicals and smoke,” and a former police chief who recently was treated for cancer for the fourth time.

Many survivors have lived in these tightknit communities for decades, some their whole lives. Their way of life — captured by the Spanish word querencia, which people here use to express their love of the land and their obligation to it — was under threat even before the megafire. Naranjo is one of the last fluent speakers of Tewa, the language spoken in the Indigenous pueblo he grew up in.

Victims of New Mexico’s biggest wildfire wait for checks from the federal government to rebuild

burned, declined 15% from 2010 to 2020, to about 4,200, according to census figures.

Now living at his son’s home two hours away, Naranjo is trying to figure out what, if anything, he can do for his land. His wife, Bernice, said the instability of life since the fire and their sudden reliance on the government has made his final chapter distressing and chaotic.

“He doesn’t show his emotions very clearly, but he does feel the loss tremendously,” she said. “And he knows that he may never be able to rebuild.”

BEFORE A CHECK, THE FINE PRINT

The $4 billion Congress set aside is supposed to compensate survivors, businesses, local governments and nonprofits for damages in the 534-square-mile burn scar. But the claims process is long and complicated, and the vast majority of victims haven’t gotten anything yet.

FEMA wrote its first check to a survivor in June, according to the claims office. That’s a year after the fire raced through the mountains. As of Friday, it had paid $84 million, just over 2%, most of which went to individuals.

Though the Forest Service said 430 homes burned in the fire, a maximum of $4.8 million has gone to housing as of Friday, according to FEMA’s figures. FEMA said it is processing “a fairly small number” of claims for housing, though officials have declined to say exactly how many.

The problem is twofold: Some people held off on filing claims as they waited months for FEMA to finalize its rules on exactly what it would pay for. And for those who did file, the checks have not come quickly.

Source New Mexico and ProPublica spoke to about 30 survivors about the claims process. A little under half said they had not yet filed a claim. They said they were desperate to start rebuilding but needed clarity on the claims process.

Until late August, the claims office operated under interim rules largely copied from the Cerro Grande Fire in 2000 — the only other time FEMA has paid for damages for a wildfire accidentally started by the federal government. FEMA officials acknowledged differences between the fires but said they started with those rules because they were in a rush to get moving.

Some of those residents told us they didn’t want to file claims under those rules, believing they would miss out on additional money if the final rules were more generous. FEMA officials told survivors that would not happen, but lawyers and residents told Source and ProPublica they feared that the formulas in the interim rules would determine their payments regardless.

A big sticking point was the value of the trees that once covered these mountainsides. Residents and lawyers said the interim rules undervalued those trees, which are harvested for timber, Christmas trees, and latillas and vigas — ceiling rafters commonly used in

Southwestern homes. While the claims office issued partial payments for other damages, it held off on paying for trees until it could figure out how to value them.

The final rules released on Aug. 28 offered far more for trees than the interim rules, which finally assuaged those concerns. Based on that formula, Angela Gladwell, the head of the claims office, said she expected tree losses to top $1 billion.

Residents who didn’t wait for the rules to be finalized faced different obstacles. After a

claim is filed, FEMA must formally “acknowledge” it. But FEMA has no deadline by which that must happen. The agency started encouraging people to file claims in November, but none were acknowledged until April. The delays continued through the summer.

FEMA told Source and ProPublica that it tries to acknowledge claims within 30 days, but that it took time to create a new office and train staff. The agency also said its office had at times received a lot of notices at once, which delayed the process.

The claims office is catching up: As of Sept. 14, it had acknowledged about 80% of the 2,214 claims filed. But those survivors face a new round of waiting. Once FEMA acknowledges a claim, it has 180 days to make an offer to pay for those damages. People can decide to take the money or to fight for more through arbitration or in federal court.

The pace of payouts is slower than it was for the Cerro Grande Fire. After a similar amount of time since a law went into effect to compensate those victims near Los Alamos, FEMA had paid about $162 million out of $545 million allocated — about 30%. That included about $84 million to individuals.

FEMA says payments are taking longer this time because this fire was bigger, the communities are poorer and have less insurance, and the claims are more complex, with agricultural and ranching losses to consider along with burned homes.

The agency plans to distribute $1 billion — a quarter of the total allocated — by January 2025. It did meet a recently set internal target of spending $50 million by Oct. 1, a spokesperson pointed out.

Regardless of whether they have filed a claim yet, survivors face uncertainty over whether all their costs will be covered. People who accept a payment must sign a form sayCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

ing they won’t seek additional compensation or sue the government for “past and present and future claims” for the category of loss they’re being paid for. But more than a year after the fire was extinguished, people don’t know if they’ve seen the last of the damage.

The fire burned root systems and topsoil, creating a landscape where dirt and debris sloughs off the mountainside when it rains, particularly after spring snowmelt and during the summer monsoon season. That’s expected to continue for several years.

Since the fire, “I’m constantly doing flood control and mitigation,” said Felicia Ortiz, whose hillside property is eaten away during rainstorms. FEMA acknowledged her claim on Aug. 18 and has yet to pay her.

She estimates she’s spent roughly $8,000 on recovery, much of it to divert floodwaters. “Cleaning up messes from the flooding — it happens, you clean up, it happens again, you clean up again.”

Despite the form that survivors must sign, FEMA says victims like Ortiz need not worry

about ongoing damage after they’ve accepted a check. Any loss that occurs afterward could be eligible for reconsideration, the agency says; Gladwell, the claims office head, has sole discretion on whether to reopen a particular claim.

All these obstacles leave some fire victims wondering whether they can trust the federal government that burned their property, denied short-term aid to many of them and then promised to make them whole.

“I do believe that Angie Gladwell is really trying to serve the people,” said Kayt Peck, who waited until the final rules were released to file a claim for her destroyed home. “But she’s just one cog in the FEMA wheel. And when you’re working with someone that you know from the past that you couldn’t trust, and they’re telling you to trust them, don’t trust them.”

FEMA has stressed that the claims office is separate from the program that provided limited assistance when people were fleeing their homes. Staffers with the claims of-

fice regularly show up at community events, handing out brochures encouraging people to file claims. The claims office advocate holds meetings to combat “half-truths and misinformation” about what FEMA will and won’t pay for.

“We know that trust is earned by doing what we say we are going to do, and delivering results,” FEMA spokesperson Deborah Martinez said.

A YEAR OF WAITING

Most of the people who spoke with Source and ProPublica said they can’t rebuild before FEMA pays their claim. Few of those displaced by the fire had insurance. Some said they’ve already spent their temporary aid; others never got any.

A state agency said in February that people are leaving for urban areas such as Albuquerque and won’t be able to return without financial help. Calls from fire victims to a mental health hotline shot up this spring. And in August, U.S. Sen. Ben Ray Luján greet-

ed President Joe Biden on a visit to New Mexico by handing him a letter criticizing delays in payments.

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said on a recent visit to the burn scar that the message from FEMA is to wait, just as it was last summer: “That’s what you’re hearing from everyone: ‘I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I’m waiting.’”

Martinez, the FEMA spokesperson, said the claims office recognizes that the recovery “has been a uniquely challenging and often frustrating experience for many,” and it is providing “unwavering support” to survivors.

FEMA has partnered with other federal agencies to help survivors. A Department of Agriculture program provides free estimates for some types of losses. FEMA will pay up to five years of flood insurance premiums for those expecting post-fire flooding. And the claims office recently announced it would pay survivors’ Small Business Administration disaster loans, including interest.

Brian and Nell Rodgers lost not just their home on a hilltop 5 miles east of Hermits Peak, but their carefully planned life of self-sufficiency. They raised trout in an indoor pond. Brian had converted a few vehicles to run on biodiesel; when the waste vegetable oil he was processing into fuel exploded during the fire, he said, it could be seen for miles.

They put their disaster aid toward an RV and moved to Santa Rosa, 80 miles away in the desert. For six months, the couple “itemized every detail of our life” in anticipation of a larger payout, said Nell Rodgers, a 70-yearold retired schoolteacher. They filed their claim in July. The claims office acknowledged it quickly, but the money has yet to arrive.

When Nell experienced chest pains after a surgery in July, she wanted to go to an emergency room in Santa Fe, more than an hour away. Because they were short on cash, Brian Rodgers had to ask his ex-wife, who lives nearby, for $20 in gas money.

Rodgers said. “And so now, the only thing we can count on is compensation. And that doesn’t seem to be coming anytime soon.”

Sam Arthur, the owner of a clothing boutique in Las Vegas, New Mexico, lost the home he shared with his wife, Tamara Fraser, in April 2022 — the day the fire suddenly surged across the mountains. Dozens of homes were destroyed in one day.

He said he promptly received the maximum amount of emergency assistance, but it was nowhere near enough to repair his home or restore his acres of scorched property. He submitted a notice of loss to FEMA on Jan. 6, seeking to be paid for the destruction of his home, relocation costs, debris removal, cleanup and other expenses. The agency didn’t acknowledge his claim until Sept. 1. Under the rules, it has until the beginning of March to make a payment offer.

In the meantime, he and his wife are living in a “tiny home” on wheels in the parking lot behind his store. “At least it’s ours, and we don’t have to pack up and leave again,” he said. “Those things were starting to take a toll.”

NEIGHBORS STEP UP

While victims wait, they’re getting help from a local volunteer group that has raised funds to pay for essentials like refrigerators, generators and wheelchair ramps.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors got its start when Janna Lopez, a retired state worker, began bringing hot food to a shelter at a former school gym as the fire raged in April 2022. After the fire was contained and survivors’ needs grew more complex — unpaid rent, flooded driveways, contaminated wells — she and fellow volunteers kept at it.

By July, the organization had handed out about $300,000 to about 65 households — about as much as FEMA had provided to households by then, said Bob DeVries, a volunteer and track coach at the local university. (Since then, FEMA has increased its payments.) Now, payments from the volunteer group are approaching $500,000.

Every Thursday, the group’s two case managers gather at a local church with representatives of four local religious and philanthropic organizations. They decide how much to give each victim, no strings attached, typically capped at $12,000.

One day in early August, they handled “Case 260,” a man in his 60s. His refrigerator was damaged when the power had been shut off, and the ojito, the natural spring he used for farm animals, was destroyed by flooding.

He didn’t have insurance, and his claim hadn’t been paid yet. He had gotten just $800 in disaster aid. “He’s, in essence, exhausted what he can get from the federal government,” said Chip Meston, who runs a local beef processing plant and represents one of the churches.

The committee quickly agreed to pay the entire request: $3,068.55.

Though the immediate crisis has passed, the number of people seeking help hasn’t dropped. There are about 45 active cases, with a backlog of more than 270. About 20% of households in the area were below the poverty line before the fire, and if they got any short-term aid from FEMA, it’s long spent, DeVries said.

Rosie Serna, 75, said Neighbors Helping Neighbors pulled her out of despair. She’d gotten by on Social Security since her husband died. The fire took the home where she hosted big outdoor gatherings for kids and grandkids.

For a while, FEMA helped her with rent as part of its disaster aid, but it stopped after she accepted temporary help from an aid group. By April, the $700 rent came due. She had no way to pay. She felt overwhelmed.

“I was just thinking of so many things: ‘Why me?’ ‘What am I going to do?’” she recounted, moved to tears. “And I said, ‘Maybe it’s better if I just don’t exist anymore.’ I thought, ‘Nobody cares about me.’ I felt so alone.”

One day in early April, Serna got a call from Gloria Pacheco, a retired schoolteacher and volunteer who was checking on her FEMA case. Serna seemed to have lost hope.

Worried, Pacheco drove 45 minutes to see her, the first time they had met in person.

After a long conversation, Pacheco connected Serna to a therapy service for fire victims, which Serna said has been helpful. Neighbors Helping Neighbors gave her a few hundred dollars for propane.

FEMA recently denied Serna’s appeal for rental assistance, but Pacheco said she’ll keep trying. Serna calls Pacheco “my angel.”

“I REALLY HAVE TO PREPARE”

As Naranjo waited to be sworn in for his deposition in a hotel conference room on July 20, he glanced at his watch. “We’re running 21 minutes behind,” he said to the lawyers gathered to question him.

Over the next two hours, he testified about the life he and his wife had built near their childhood pueblos, the monstrous fire that made ash of his journals, FEMA’s denial of any short-term aid, the future of his land.

“Is it your goal to restore the property as best you can to the way it was before the fire started?” asked Roberto Ortega, an assistant U.S. attorney.

“That can never happen,” Naranjo answered. “I would like to see it, but I saw it in its glory. It was a paradise. That paradise can never be rebuilt.”

As he prepares to leave his land and any compensation he ultimately receives to his wife and children, he’s made his priority the 3-mile fence that once encircled his property. He’s tired of his neighbor’s cows eating his grass for free. Most of all, he wants a permanent demarcation of what he will leave behind.

A few days after the deposition, he walked his property with Department of Agriculture employees to assess the damage. “I really have to prepare. You need to have permanent markers on it, so people know where your boundaries are,” Naranjo told them. “That’s why I want the fence. That’s my priority. Because my children don’t know the boundaries of our property.”

But rebuilding the fence, as with everything else FEMA has been involved with, isn’t as simple as he hoped. If he wants the full replacement cost, he’ll have to prove the fence was his by submitting affidavits from his neighbors or receipts — for a fence he built himself, 50 years ago, with timber from his property.

Back then, he felt energized by the land, waking early to run a 7-mile loop around the property and occasionally discovering prayer shrines left by early Pueblo peoples. Now everything is exhausting — walking up the washed-out road, dealing with the fence, hearing his kids’ ambivalence about whether they want to rebuild.

“I just haven’t got the strength, or the energy, or the outlook, or the dreams that I had at the time,” he said.

He no longer plans to have his remains spread on the property. He once envisioned his ashes scattered among the aspens and ponderosa pines. Instead, blowing through those blackened trees will be ashes of the paradise he lost.

WORKSHOP THU/5

DEAD LETTER DEPARTMENT

Inevitably as this time of year rolls around, our minds wander to thoughts of the dead. The gloom of autumn and the changing leaves make for quite a combo, don’t you think? But rather than simply pouring one out for the homies this year, might we suggest a workshop from acclaimed poet and writer Janna Lopez? At the upcoming Day of the Dead Loved One & Ancestor Letter Writing class, Lopez will help folks pen a missive to a lost loved one for placement on an ofrenda, and she’s providing all the assistance, writing materials and gourmet snacks to make it happen. Please note you must register and pay a day before the workshop, but if you miss this week’s you’ll have more chances throughout the month. (ADV)

BOMBASTIC

We see you, Santa Fe, and we know you’re aching for the musical styles of the world, just not in that gross found-it-at-Starbucks way. Fret not, for Niger’s Bombino has you covered. Hailing from the nomadic Ifoghas tribe, the Tuareg guitarist knows a thing or two about strife and peril (his online bio is harrowing to say the least) and the political bent to his gorgeous songs tells the tale. He’s self-taught and stalwart, a documentary subject and survivor with roots in African sounds, but rock and blues and folk. His machine kills fascists, we bet, and he’s really just getting started, at least insofar as American audiences go. Find Bombino at Tumbleroot this week. (ADV)

Bombino: 7:30 pm Sunday, Oct. 8. $20 Tumbleroot Brewery & Distillery 2791 Agua Fría St., (505) 303-3808

EVENT MON/9

NOTHING LIKE THE FIRST TIME

It might surprise you to learn that the forthcoming Honoring Native Nations Powwow slated for Monday, Oct. 9—Indigenous Peoples Day—is the first-ever on the Plaza. We know it surprised us, especially since the Santa Fe Indigenous Center’s event just feels like the kind of thing we’d been doing around here forever. Let’s make up for lost time, then, with a whole mess of goings-on during the gathering. For example, champion fancy dancer Jhane Myers (Comanche and Blackfeet) will perform. We’ll also hear from MC James Edwards (Pawnee), catch an inter-tribal parade and, if we’re smart, find something glorious to eat. Dang, we should’ve done this a long time ago. (ADV)

Honoring Native Nations Powwow:

The Circle of Life (And Alien Heads)

Santa Fe artist Emma Bagley contemplates the cycles with new paintings and masks

Regular SFR readers will need no introduction to Santa Fe artist Emma Bagley—she created the cover art for our 2022 Best of Santa Fe issue. A renowned local tattooer and painter, Bagley crafts pieces that are uniquely all her own with a dash of painterly style, a bit of silliness and a whole lot of bold color work. At her upcoming exhibit, A Woman Crawls Forward at Canyon Road’s smoke the moon gallery, she’ll take that to a whole new level across 24 new acrylic-gouache paintings, as well as a series of 40 latex alien masks all playfully dubbed “Invasion .”

In some ways, Bagley’s new show represents a culmination and coming-together of years of study, studio work and tattooing. In others, it feels like the beginning of a new era of prolific output. Either way, materials for the show denote Bagley’s current focus on the cyclical concepts of life, loss, love, death and so on.

Bagley cites years spent in Portland, Oregon, and Los Angeles as formative, particularly in how she watched those cities change. Embracing that concept, or at least learning to live with it, upon returning to Santa Fe—a city enamored with tradition—proved meaningful.

“There are growing pains,” she explains, “but it still has that energy and feeling of home, and there’s love and and loss attached to that.”

Woman is the first full body of work Bagley has completed since returning home in 2019, and though the paintings will be familiar to those who’ve followed her work, the alien masks of “Invasion” mark a new step.

“I think I’ve been contemplating a lot about being perceived and perception and the anxieties that go along with that,” she says. “It was also an experiment with materials that wound up being a rather large piece. I try to have fun with my work and I hope it’s delightful to look at. I’m not a terribly serious person, either, so I also hope it’s fun for people.” (Alex

De Vore)

EMMA BAGLEY: A WOMAN CRAWLS FORWARD OPENING

11 am-4:30 pm

Monday, Oct. 9. Free. Santa Fe Plaza 100 Old Santa Fe Trail, santafeindigenouscenter.org

“A lot of these pieces came out of the last year and facing loss in my family and found family,” Bagley tells SFR. “It isn’t so much a lifeline study necessarily, but about the cycles of ending and starting again. I think a lot about living in Santa Fe, of being from here my whole life and the idea you can’t step in the same stream twice, but internally, externally, it’s like a spiral, and it comes around to the same things.”

and you keep coming back to it. It’s like a present-day spiritual practice for people...the voice, the dance, the music, the vibration, the energy of it all is that everyone gets to bring something to the table and everyone gets to bring their roots. It’s almost like a fountain of youth.

There’s a term in the press materials, and it’s something I’ve seen more and more lately: ‘Indigenous futurism.’ What does this term mean to you?

For me, it’s just about whenever you combine culture with technology, you’re getting a disruption, and that disruption is what creates the movements and the ideas. That’s what shocks the world, right? That’s how it comes off to me—culture and tech collide.

If you thought the world was done celebrating the 50th anniversary of hiphop, you were wrong, and an upcoming Indigenous Peoples Day event at Canyon Road artwear boutique 4KINSHIP featuring Diné artist Randy L. Barton means we’re keeping the party going. At The Sacred Cypher (3 pm-7 pm Monday, Oct. 9. 4KINSHIP, 812 Canyon Road, 4kinship.com), Barton will become Randy Boogie to DJ a series of breakdance workshops and movement performances from dancers Allyssa Trujillo and B-Boy Bamm, plus traditional drumming and singing from Edwin Felter (Nambe Pueblo Tewa), a screening of Diné filmmaker Raven Bright’s We Belong Here, a friendly freestyle cypher and more—and kids are more than welcome. We spoke with Barton ahead of the event to get the scoop on what hip-hop means to him and why it’s still worth celebrating. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

(Alex De Vore)

Can you talk about your own practice’s relationship with hip-hop? Has it been a long running thing for you? Yes, definitely it has, and especially with dance. It’s kind of amazing, y’know, because breaking itself was started by kids, and I learned about it when I was 6 and moved from the reservation. When I was moving to my border town in Winslow, Arizona, I noticed this circle full of people, and that was my first time seeing the dance. And I didn’t speak English at the time, only Navajo, but my babysitter’s boyfriend taught me graffiti—I learned my ABCs through graffiti.

And that was it. I’ve been part of this culture and breakdancing since 1985, and to this day I can’t seem to stop doing it. That’s the motto, right? Can’t stop, won’t stop? It’s beautiful because everyone thought hip-hop was just a fad, but 50 years later, we’re celebrating. I always loved the spiritual components, the expressions. It just keeps elevating

It’s definitely about breaking ground. And Native arts are very big now. I love talking to people who are like, ‘Native art is big now,” and I’m like, ‘Hell yeah! You got caught up!’ And I always knew this is what The Sacred Cypher could be, I just never forced it. It’s in the Zia, right? The cycles of life—everything within hip-hop is made from those cycles: the circle, aka the cypher; you come together and share who you really are. You dance your truth. What is your truth? What are you going to bring to the fire? It reminds me of the circle, the cycles of life and bringing people who could not see what the culture was about to witness and to dance. You know there’s gotta be Native B-Boys, and sure enough, it’s ‘Let’s dance, let’s connect.’

What can people expect at 4Kinship?

The Santa Fe Breaking Academy is bringing their students and Dancing Turtle out of Albuquerque is bringing their students. These are my contemporaries doing their due diligence and giving back. What do they say? ‘Each one teach one,’ right?

Raven [Bright] is doing stuff, and B-Boy Bamm, who spent a lot of time in New Mexico. He’s just this prolific dancer, and he loves to give back. And then there’s Allyssa Trujillo who, when someone says ‘all styles of dance,’ I think of her. Dance is in us if you think about it. If you watch a kid in the backseat when you turn the music on, they naturally tap in and start bobbing. Anywhere you go, if you watch the kids, they’re responding to sound. So what I’m doing when I’m DJing is, I’m bringing everything and anything—every genre of music as long as it has that frequency. Breakbeat, bass, drums, African drums. And Edwin [Felter’s] going to bring his hand drum. We’ve got powwow drum samples and I’m even going to play a little Coolio, I think. 4KINSHIP is an artique, so we’re going to make it where you have to walk in and experience it. Oh! And for the first hour, the kids will get a chance to learn from the practitioners.

Mystic Flatbread

Southwest kitsch and solid menu herald good things for new hotel The Mystic and its café/bar

BY ALEX DE VORE alex@sfreporter.com

After an SFR staffer repeatedly espoused the comfy environs and tasty food of High Desert, the café within newly-minted hotel The Mystic Santa Fe (2810 Cerrillos Road, (505) 471-7663), it kept gnawing at me. People don’t seem to have caught wind of the place in earnest just yet, she said, so it has been a breeze to snag a table for breakfast or lunch or cocktails.

A couple weeks later, my companion and I found ourselves inside High Desert, a space that would resemble a TikTok in fluencer’s feed if they’d existed in the ’50s and ’60s and had a subscription to the old Southwest magazine. And we were the only people there. Sadly, we’d missed the break fast menu by about an hour (they serve it until noon), but a small yet varied lunch menu (which we later learned also serves as the dinner menu) softened that blow.

Married couple Amanda Tucker and Rick Goldberg purchased and reno vated the old Silver Saddle Motel. While they have achieved a certain type of aesthetic that doesn’t entirely resemble my own experience of Santa Fe and the broader re gion, their establishment will absolutely appeal to the type of person who owns a partic ular type of hat and who just loves to laugh loud while tossing back an arugula salad before their big day at Meow Wolf. The Mystic and High Desert probably look quite nice splashed across an Instagram story, and that’s likely the entire point.

High Desert has what I lovingly, if jokingly, refer to as a faux-Southwestern stab at decor—minimalist white walls with pale pink plates on the tables and thick cloth

napkins (no complaints on that last item). In one room, a fresco featuring a snake and stars looms large, and the entryway boasts framed illustrations bearing vaguely Indigenous-looking designs. The Mystic and its High Desert will feel at least a little familiar to regular patrons of the El Rey Court and its bar La Reina just up the street.

Oh, I could get into the white walled/ beige-ily appointed flair and sun-soaked appeal that makes visitors from the big city drool over a hotel like this, but our sojourn was solely about food, and Tucker and Goldberg actually seem to be onto something in their little café. The dining area at High Desert is quite comfortable, what we might call adorable, and though our server announced she was still getting the hang of things, I mostly found it endearing that she’d be so real with us. She nailed it, too, both in terms of attitude and consistency. Yes, we were the only people in there at the time, but she struck a smart balance between light humor and knowledge without hovering or

The lunch/dinner menu kind of nails it, as well, including with its punny names such as the Meat Me in Santa Fe sandwich with ham, roasted chile and crispy onions served betwixt melty queso ($16) and the Well Peared flatbread with goat cheese, roasted

pears and fig jam beneath honey and pistachios ($22). If those prices seem a little high for a small café tucked into a roadside hotel, that’s fair, but the meal proved well worth the cost by the end. My companion zeroed in on the Pig in a Panini sandwich with roasted pear, bacon, fig jam, honey, arugula and goat cheese ($16), while I waffled between the other two flatbread options: The Meat Up with pomodoro sauce, ham, salami, prosciutto and mozzarella ($22), or the Daytripper with goat cheese, wild mushrooms, green chile and a balsamic reduction ($20). Prosciutto won in the end, though, and we rounded out the meal with the nachotes appetizer ($15)—basically elote on tortilla chips, only with not quite enough corn. Even so, the nachotes were a real stunner, from the spicy queso and generous avocado sections to the thick crunch of the chips. The Meat Up flatbread was no slouch, either, even if the salami flavor drowned out the prosciutto a bit; the pomodoro was tangy and delicious, though, and the dish was not over-sauced. The panino also wowed in its fig jam/goat cheese glory. Don’t get me wrong—the bacon was tasty, but something about the textures of fig and goat cheese, not to mention their contrasting sweet and savory flavors, just works. Kudos to the chef.

Lastly, we ordered up a quartet of churros with one end dipped in Oreo crumbles, presumably during the baking process— otherwise I’ve no idea how they’d adhere. This dessert came paired with a scoop of rich chocolate ice cream and a side of thick yet melty spicy ganache from Kakawa Chocolate House ($14). I’ve had many a churro in Santa Fe, and barring those from Gerardo Garcia’s Churro Bar, these were the most expertly executed and tasty, plus they were fun to dip.

Now, our server mentioned our visit happened during only the second week for many of these lunch/dinner items, so consider this a period of flux. Even so, we left delighted with the entire meal, even if the sticker shock felt all too real. In reality, I’ll probably struggle mentally with the design of the place, but if they continue down this foodservice road with similar options and creativity in the future, I’ll just suck it up in the name of a kickass sandwich or flatbread.

The Pig in a Panini sandwich with a side arugula salad. Trust us—you want that fig jam.

The Meat Up flatbread at The Mystic Santa Fe’s High Desert café and bar is a smart choice for people who like salami or prosciutto or both. It’s big enough to have some for the next day, too.

SFR CLASSIFIEDS

Rob Brezsny Week of October 4th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I’ve been doing interviews in support of my new book Astrology Is Real: Revelations from My Life as an Oracle. Now and then, I’m asked this question: “Do you actually believe all that mystical woowoo you write about?” I respond diplomatically, though inwardly I’m screaming, “How profoundly hypocritical I would be if I did not believe in the ‘mystical woo-woo’ I have spent my adult studying and teaching!” But here’s my polite answer: I love and revere the venerable spiritual philosophies that some demean as “mystical woo-woo.” I see it as my job to translate those subtle ideas into wellgrounded, practical suggestions that my readers can use to enhance their lives. Everything I just said is the prelude for your assignment, Aries: Work with extra focus to actuate your high ideals and deep values in the ordinary events of your daily life. As the American idioms advise: Walk your talk and practice what you preach.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I’m happy to see the expanding use of service animals. Initially, there were guide dogs to assist humans with imperfect vision. Later, there came mobility animals for those who need aid in moving around and hearing animals for those who can’t detect ringing doorbells. In recent years, emotional support animals have provided comfort for people who benefit from mental health assistance. I foresee a future in which all of us feel free and eager to call on the nurturing of companion animals. You may already have such friends, Taurus. If so, I urge you to express extra appreciation for them in the coming weeks. Ripen your relationship. And if not, now is an excellent time to explore the boost you can get from loving animals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Chuck Klosterman jokes, “I eat sugared cereal almost exclusively. This is because I’m the opposite of a ‘no-nonsense’ guy. I’m an ‘all-nonsense’ guy.” The coming weeks will be a constructive and liberating time for you to experiment with being an all-nonsense person, dear Gemini. How? Start by temporarily suspending any deep attachment you have to being a serious, hyper-rational adult doing staid, weighty adult things. Be mischievously committed to playing a lot and having maximum fun. Dancing sex! Ice cream uproars! Renegade fantasies! Laughter orgies! Joke romps! Giddy brainstorms and euphoric heartstorms!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian comedian Gilda Radner said, “I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn’t itch.” Let’s use that as a prime metaphor for you in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be wise to opt for what feels good over what merely looks good. You will make the right choices if you are committed to loving yourself more than trying to figure out how to get others to love you. Celebrate highly functional beauty, dear Cancerian. Exult in the clear intuitions that arise as you circumvent self-consciousness and revel in festive self-love.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The amazingly creative Leo singersongwriter Tori Amos gives this testimony: “All creators go through a period where they’re dry and don’t know how to get back to the creative source. Where is that waterfall? At a certain point, you say, ‘I’ll take a rivulet.’” Her testimony is true for all of us in our quest to find what we want and need. Of course, we would prefer to have permanent, unwavering access to the waterfall. But that’s not realistic. Besides, sometimes the rivulet is sufficient. And if we follow the rivulet, it may eventually lead to the waterfall.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do you perform experiments on yourself? I do on myself. I formulate hypotheses about what might be healthy for me, then carry out tests to gather evidence about whether they are. A recent one was: Do I feel my best if I eat five small meals per day or three bigger ones? Another: Is my sleep most rejuvenating if I go to bed at 10 pm and wake up at 7 am or if I sleep from midnight to

9 am? I recommend you engage in such experiments in the coming weeks. Your body has many clues and revelations it wants to offer you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take a few deep, slow breaths. Let your mind be a blue sky where a few high clouds float. Hum your favorite melody. Relax as if you have all the time in the world to be whoever you want to be. Fantasize that you have slipped into a phase of your cycle when you are free to act as calm and unhurried as you like. Imagine you have access to resources in your secret core that will make you stable and solid and secure. Now read this Mary Oliver poem aloud: “You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An Oklahoma woman named Mary Clamswer used a wheelchair from age 19 to 42 because multiple sclerosis made it hard to use her legs. Then a miracle happened. During a thunderstorm, she was hit by lightning. The blast not only didn’t kill her; it cured the multiple sclerosis. Over the subsequent months, she recovered her ability to walk. Now I’m not saying I hope you will be hit by a literal bolt of healing lightning, Scorpio, nor do I predict any such thing. But I suspect a comparable event or situation that may initially seem unsettling could ultimately bring you blessings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): What are your favorite mind-altering substances? Coffee, tea, chocolate, sugar, or tobacco? Alcohol, pot, cocaine, or opioids? Psilocybin, ayahuasca, LSD, or MDMA? Others? All the above? Whatever they are, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to re-evaluate your relationship with them. Consider whether they are sometimes more hurtful than helpful, or vice versa; and whether the original reasons that led you to them are still true; and how your connection with them affects your close relationships. Ask other questions, too!

PS: I don’t know what the answers are. My goal is simply to inspire you to take an inventory.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his book Meditations for Miserable People Who Want to Stay That Way, Dan Goodman says, “It’s not that I have nothing to give, but rather that no one wants what I have.” If you have ever been tempted to entertain dour fantasies like that, I predict you will be purged of them in the coming weeks and months. Maybe more than ever before, your influence will be sought by others. Your viewpoints will be asked for. Your gifts will be desired, and your input will be invited. I trust you won’t feel overwhelmed!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): William James (1842–1910) was a paragon of reason and logic. So influential were his books about philosophy and psychology that he is regarded as a leading thinker of the 19th and 20th centuries. On the other hand, he was eager to explore the possibilities of supernatural phenomena like telepathy. He even consulted a trance medium named Leonora Piper. James said, “If you wish to upset the law that all crows are black, it is enough if you prove that one crow is white. My white crow is Mrs. Piper.” I bring this to your attention, Aquarius, because I suspect you will soon discover a white crow of your own. As a result, long-standing beliefs may come into question; a certainty could become ambiguous; an incontrovertible truth may be shaken. This is a good thing!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If we hope to cure our wounds, we must cultivate a focused desire to be healed. A second essential is to be ingenious in gathering the resources we need to get healed. Here’s the third requirement: We must be bold and brave enough to scramble up out of our sense of defeat as we claim our right to be vigorous and whole again. I wish all these powers for you in the coming weeks.
