      Trivia!!!

      Ever heard of horse hair pottery?!

      This is a unique style of pottery prominent in the Pueblo Indian conservation area - clay pots from out of the kiln are embedded with horse mane & tail hair for thin & thick lines respectively; further etched with designs & color.

      Fried bread with lightly sugared cinnamon is a popular delicacy here & tasted absolutely delicious, I think it's very similar to our Indian charuti (festive dessert in Karnataka).

      Another interesting fact was that of the kachina - Katchina is a spirit being in western Pueblo religious beliefs of Native American cultures of Acoma Pueblo, Laguna Pueblo located in the southwestern United States. There are aspects to the katchina: the supernatural being, the kachina dancers(masked members of the community who represent kachinas at religious ceremonies), and kachina dolls, small dolls carved in the likeness of kachinas.
