What an inspiring video! I often feel overwhelmed by my work and that is because I was raised in a culture/family of "rugged individualists." Here is proof that "many hands make light work."

Honestly, that sense of family and teamwork was one of the things that really struck me when I spent some time in New Mexico. Oh, and it never occurred to me to sharpen my shovel!

Great post, Maia, I really enjoyed it!

Maia, thanks so much for this. I'll be in Northern New Mexico in June. I like to look at places I visit through the lens of water. Thanks to you, I'll know to look for acequias. 🙏

The ancestors of the Hohokam in the Tucson area had a similar irrigation that alas went dry centuries ago.
