 In Honor of Candelaria Maes
from recent posts - blip.tv (beta)
May 24, 2008
My name is Martha Dominguez and I was born in Raton, New Mexico. I now live in Vista California and I have lived in California since 1963. I love Vista, it s a very nice city, but I miss New Mexico. It will always be a part of my family, and it will always be in my heart. One of the traditions in my family is making flour tortillas. My mother taught me how to make them, her mother taught her how to make them, I have taught my daughters how to make these tortillas and I have taught my granddaughters and I hope this tradition will stay in the family. This tradition is important because it s part of us, it s part of who we are, and it s been carried on for a lot of years, and I would like for it to still be carried on because a part of our ancestors live on in the things that we do in the future. They have influenced us and this is something that I would like to keep in the family. The history of my family goes back to 1748, with Pedro Alonzo Maes. And from there it goes to the fifth generation with Andres Maes, and his 9th child was Celedon Maes, who then became the father to Candelaria Maes, who is my grandmother. She was born in 1897 in Moro, New Mexico. Most of my family comes from the valley of Moro, and a lot of the men in the valley were coal miners. My grandmother was married to a coal miner, and my mother was married to a coal miner. My father was a coal miner and there was a history of coal mining in northern New Mexico. I have an older sister who was born in Dawson, New Mexico, and at that time in the early 20s and 30s there were several huge explosions that killed a lot of coal miners. And to this day you can go to visit Dawson and there is, it s a ghost town, there s no one living there, but you can still visit the cemetery and there are hundreds and hundreds of little white crosses. And my grandmother s husband was named Almado Torres. He was also a coal miner. He died after three children were born, and my grandmother was a very strong woman. She raised the three children. My grandmother was educated in Moro, was in St. Gertrudes Church. And my mother also attended the same school. But in those days, in the early 1900s, it was kind of rare for women to be educated. I don t know to this day why she received an education. She was the only girl in the family. She had older brothers. One of those brothers became a sheriff in the county of New Mexico, and later on he became a judge. When my grandmother was born, New Mexico at that time was a territory of, New Mexico, and in 1912 it became a state. So from one day to the next she became an American citizen, and that was very important to her. She voted, and my mother has always been a strong voter, and that has influenced my life, and I have been a poll worker for the last four years. I work elections and I make sure that my kids have registered to vote, that s very important. My grandmother moved to California in the 50s, and she had four daughters. Julia, Petra, Rosie, my mother Jenny, and one boy, his name was Ralph. When my grandmother moved out here her daughters were back in New Mexico, and everyone decided to leave, some earlier than others, because they wanted the family to stay together. Although everyone loves New Mexico and that our home, home place, family was more important and everyone wanted to be with the grandmother of the family, the mother and grandmother. My mother and my grandmother have both influenced me, in my life. My mother has always told me that there is no such word as can t. You can do anything you want to do, and I know she got that from my grandmother. And that s why I feel that they re very strong, we were taught to never give up. You can do anything you want to do and that has been the theme of my life.

 RP061 Southern New Mexico
from radiopeter » podcasts
May 10, 2008
This is the hardest video I ve had to edit to date. Watching the footage, listening to the music in the video (which I listened to while I was actually at these places) made me want to hop on a plane and run away back to New Mexico. I cried a bit during the final Carlsbad bits. That place hit me pretty hard. Enjoy.
