We had a cosmic encounter with the Chief of the Jicarilla Apache Nation on our way from Chama, NM to Durango, CO. He and his friends gave us much more than words of wisdom, and we learned the true meaning of hospitality!
Chief Reynard Faber gave us permission to use far off images of the Gojiiya Feast. He has an amazing autobiography, “FRONTRUNNER: The Story of an Apache Indian”, you should check it out!
On our bicycle journey we also uncovered the complicated water systems of the region. It’s not easy to understand how some of the major cities and water users in northern New Mexico get their water needs satisfied. Be sure to check out the blog for more details on the transmountain movement of water through the Azotea Tunnel. Does it affect you?

So good! Tganks for sharing an amazing journey.
great vid. nice scenery
Your videos get better and better. Loved this one and can't wait for the next one. Loved your braided hair and Pat's beard too!
Awesome. Love it about the water being free just like the air we breathe.
love this soul!
If water is free who's paying for filtering and transporting it?
My kiddos are working faster just to watch the different posts. They love the" chief's talk" and continue drinking their water out of "Pinky Pato"( the pink flamingo blow up party favor you guys left us with." You never know the mark you'll leave or the questions they will have. Lv,Mom
Very wise. Very insightful.
Libations! Woohoo!
Water…the reason we can be. Great Work!
Hearing the words of the Chief of the Jicarilla Apache Nation was great.
Actually it was a scientific balloon, studying astrophysics, launched from Fort Sumner, NM. I've worked on this instrument, it's called X-Caibur. http://physics.wustl.edu/x-ray/xcalibur.shtml
Listening to a real chief and his wise speech about water was great. Also his mother's prophecy about bottled water was suberb.
Wonderfull !!!!……bravo les filles ! petites filles d'Amérique intelligentes et sexy, courageuses et sportives, amoureuses de l'eau….nice vidéos ! i like water, and trouts and salmons, and…..girls….Mich from western France
Wow! This was really special. I am a member of the Chickasaw Tribe, but do not know the language. And honestly only a small percent blood. But to listen to this man talk is a blessing.
Change the music and get more followers:-)) Sounds like Mr "T" goes retro.
Incredible introduction ! Especially when you know about Riccardo Petrella's works on this.
I used to live in Ireland. Public water was totally free. People simply did not get a bill of water at the end of the month for their consumption. Ultra-capitalistic Ireland had it that tap water was not to be monetised (because, yeah, it's a public good). But then, a couple of years later, they changed it. People now have to pay a bill just like everywhere else… Mad World.
Pretty soon we will be taxed for the air we breath!! Ugh!
Thanks again for a very nice video.
Awesome interview with Chief Reynard of the Jicarilla Apache Nation. No matter where you are, you are part of nature that was put here for us.
I send my greatest respect to the Chief.

Sarah’s Agreement Counter. 😂😂😂
Considering they never invented the wheel, I'm going to pass on that so-called wisdom.
