Peyote People on Facebook
Kevin September 12th, 2009
I’ve started a new group on Facebook called Peyote People where people will be able to see new pieces and read about current events. If anyone is interested please feel free to check it out. Any and all comments are greatly appreciated.
I’d like to keep things positive but its been a really tough summer. First the flu killed what little tourism we had because of the bad economy and then the passing of Jose Benitez. Gone but not forgotten, Benitez will live on in the art that everyone loves.
Tragedy has struck the Huichol community of San Andres Cohamiata. I got a call on Friday from Santos Bautista that the son of the commissario de bienes communales or sheriff was murdered. Our prayers go out to Margarito and his family for the loss of his son. The tragic event is under investigation, based on preliminary reports it seems that this was an internal struggle and hasdnothing to do with Margaritos political position within the community.
My buddy Luis Castro is going through some tough times but is finally getting the help he needs. Luis is one of the finest yarn artists I’ve ever me, we’re really pulling for him to get better soon and back to work.
