This file contains raw footage of an interview with Governor Gary Johnson on Indian Gaming and Welfare Reform. 7:20 file cuts to footage inside of the New Mexico State Senate during a session. Senator Mary Jane M. Garcia, Representative Lucky Varela, Joe Cordova (president, National Federation of the Blind of New Mexico), and Representative Max Coll are interviewed about welfare reform. This is raw footage for COLORES! # 902 “A Southwest Christmas.” Featuring beautiful photography and great music this COLORES! celebrates some of New Mexico’s most unique Christmas traditions. The religion and folk tales surrounding the Christmas season of the Spanish, Mexican, Native American and Anglo cultures are told through four customs. We begin with the small paper bags with candles and the small bonfires known as Luminarias & Farolitos that serve as announcement and invitation to the Christmas season. We then show beautiful procession and fiesta of La Virgen de Gaudelaupe, followed by the reenactment of Mary and Joseph seeking shelter in Las Posadas, and end with the exotic Los Matachinas dances.
