Today’s road trip took Ginny and I to the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument outside Mountainair, New Mexico. The Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument is tucked away in the middle of New Mexico. It’s a complex of three Spanish missions. Its three different sites offer a glimpse into a unique time in history—a time entrenched with cultural borrowing, conflict, and struggles. Construction of the missions began in 1622 and was completed in 1635. These sites continue to stand as reminders of the Spanish and Pueblo peoples’ early encounters and prompt exploration of today’s interactions among different people.
