This past Wednesday, Pojoaque Pueblo in New Mexico celebrated its annual feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

For the first time, the tiny 300-member tribe was able to hold the ceremony on its own. Because the tribe's numbers were reduced significantly due to disease and the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, many feasts weren't conducted.

Once the Guadalupe celebration resumed earlier this century, members of other Pueblos would help out.
