    Doña Tules: Gambling Queen of Santa Fe

    KiMo Theatre 423 Central Avenue NW Albuquerque NM 87102 (505) 768-3544

    The famous 19th century gambling hall of Doña Tules was patronized by soldiers, merchants, traders, conspirators, priests, and dignitaries. This “rags-to-riches” story told from this Spanish woman’s perspective with drama and music that will capture your heart. A Meet and Greet will follow the performance.

    This performance is being filmed by students, amateurs and professionals to highlight areas of the forthcoming feature film, “New Mexico, the musical”. The historical musical is being proposed as a supplement to New Mexico’s tourism promotion available in museums, libraries and cultural attractions. Most significantly, it is being developed as enrichment to the New Mexico history curriculum with lesson plans and academic activities for high school and college students.
    Had it not been for Doña Tules, the U. S. Army and Colonel Steven Kearny would have been halted in their tracks, not able to proceed to Santa Fe, on their march to old Mexico and California. Governor Manuel Armijo would have retained his power in the Mexican territory. As a gambling hall salon owner on the Santa Fe Trail, Doña Tules came into possession of riches and knowledge, becoming a peddler of influence and indulgences, playing a momentous role in confluence of events that led to statehood, a remarkable accomplishment for an impoverished Hispanic woman while living under the flags of three nations. According to noted New Mexico historian, Marc Simmons, “Doña Tules was the most influential woman in territorial New Mexico.” Now, more than a century later, the time has arrived to pay tribute to Doña Maria Gertrudes Barcello (Tules). Cast and crew auditions are being scheduled to commence this year.
    “New Mexico, the musical”, book, music, and lyrics by Native American, James (Jaybird Sallateeska) Stewart, (Shawnee/Cherokee)

    • Tritium Detected in Santa Fe Wells
      Is Santa Fe's drinking water safe? More than half of our water in Santa Fe comes from the Rio Grande, and it's drawn downstream from Los Alamos Canyon regularly dumps toxic stormwater into the river. The rest comes from a wellfield that recently tested positive for radioactive tritium. Watch the lecture, and decide for yourself! […]
    • Comments on "The Risk at Buckman"
      I've received a lot of feedback from my previous article on Buckman, and learned a lot since then about what happened. The key to the "no risk" deception from ChemRisk was that they analyzed the river during "normal" flows when the toxin levels are low, rather than after rainstorms, when the toxin levels are very high. They also assu […]
    • The Risk at Buckman
      Santa Fe recently brought online a new system that takes water out of the Rio Grande to supplement it's municipal drinking water. Unfortunately the new system, called the Buckman Direct Diversion, draws water from directly beneath several canyons that regularly dump storm water laced with radionuclides and other bomb-making contaminants.What on earth wo […]
    • The Problem with Carbon Caps
      A friend wrote to me this morning with a simple question about New Energy Economy's ongoing fight for carbon caps on electric utilities. Here is my response. The problem with setting a cap and creating a market for carbon is that there are too many loopholes, leaving too much room for the same shenanigans we’ve always seen from utilities. Utilities are […]

    • May Harvest: Stinging Nettle - Permaculture Plant of the Week
      An aggressive tall ground cover, a plant that makes many people wonder why grow it in the first place, it stings indeed quite strongly - this is a favorite in a permaculture food forest! If planted in a well selected spot where it can spread without negatively affecting gardener's comfort, this plant produces heavily, grows without many demands and puts […]
    • Freezing Food in Glass
      Why talk about freezing food in glass in early spring, when not much is going on harvest-wise? Chicken, meat and fish stocks are still good foods for the season, and commercial meat is often wrapped in plastic and can be transferred into glass at home to reduce contamination. Other garden grown or purchased foods, such as grated garden zucchini, grated apple […]
