Whereabouts: Taos Pueblo, NM Tidings: This is a 1000 year old Living Native Indian Settlement, governed by a tribal Governor and War Chief appointed yearly by the village council. They not only take care of the village issues and their interaction with the Non-Indian World but with the protection of the Mountains and Indian lands outside of the pueblo boundary walls. Makes me wonder how we could also improve the efficiency of our governing bodies, if each community is given autonomy to deal with its own issues, specially relating to the environment. Surely no one can understand a particular environment better than the local residents of that habitat. #ourgreatamericanroadtrip #lessonsonliving
