www.livinglabyrinthsforpeace.org The spirit behind Living Labyrinths for Peace, Inc., a 501c(3) a non profit organization, is artist, poet and teacher, Sandra Wasko-Flood. She gives great thanks for the gifts she received from her space scientist father, whose parents came from Russia; and her elementary school teacher and socialite mother, whose parents emigrated from Prague, Czechoslovakia. Born in Flushing Long Island, NYC, her dad was weather forecasting for Pan Am and got a job in Lisbon, Portugal, where she attended first grade. Returning to the U.S. after three years, they moved from coast to coast, he always getting a better job. When her dad was weather forecasting for Douglas Aircraft in Los Angeles, she got her BA in English from UCLA and a Secondary teaching credential from the California State College in Los Angeles. Her first job was teaching English at Nobel Jr. High School. After three years, she quit teaching after being encouraged to become a full time artist by Gordon Nunes at UCLA. Rather than getting an art degree, she chose the right teachers with which to study wherever she lived. In 1969, she married Michael T. Flood, PhD, inorganic chemist, whose first job was with the National Academy of Sciences in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She so loved the Brazilian culture, especially the Carnival. She did portraits of the Brazilian people. Taking private lessons from Marie Augusta Kaufman, she discovered she liked print making the best. Wherever she lived she found the best print making teachers with which to study and was introduced to the new Safe Etching methods by Keith Howard. She gave lessons in safe etching and monotype printmaking in her Alexandria, VA studio. Her art portrayed major archetypes: owl and snake, masks, totems, cycles, spirals labyrinths, and the peacock through whose eyes we see the creation of the universe. Her recent book: “The Labyrinth Path to Light and Peace” includes lots of poems and art having to do with Peace among People, Animals, Nature and the Universe. Having written poetry since a child, she is now working on an anthology of her poetry.In 1981, she became a founding member of the Washington Women's Arts Center, and in 1985, she founded the Art Spirit Group in Washington DC, which still meets until this day to discuss the relationship between art and spirituality. In 1991, she sat in the center of the Great Kiva at Chaco Culture National Historical Park, New Mexico. Sitting in the Great Kiva, she envisioned ceremonial dancers from all races, cultures and beliefs, peacefully ascending an underground spiral to do a labyrinth dance in the kiva, and ascending a spiral under a space dome to the sky. This visionary experience led her to a book by Sig Lonegren: Labyrinths: Ancient Myths and Modern Uses.In 1998, she become a founding member of the International Labyrinth Society. She went on to create an interactive labrinth art/technology installation, “Dance of the Labyrinth,” symbolizing a peaceful dance of opposites for our times. Here visitors experience computer programmed light sequences: walk on light box images, see rotating wheels and pillars, and phosphorescent mulch glowing like moonlight. When she asked this labyrinth where it wanted to be, it told her four times in the U.S. Capitol. This led her to talk with Barbara Wolanin, the Curator of the Capitol Collection and to put a Labyrinths Demonstration for Inner Peace, the first project of the International Labyrinth Society on Capitol Hill in the year 2000. For two weeks, people from all over the world walked labyrinths for peace. In the year 2005, she formed the non-profit Living Labyrinths for Peace.

Pueblo officials support the Biden Administration's 20-year ban on new oil and gas leases on land surrounding Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico. The Pueblos see the land as sacred and have long pushed to limit outside intrusion from developers. They are at odds with the official position from the Navajo Nation, whose citizens stand to gain financially from new development leases. In addition the action has spurred an investigation into potential conflicts of interest by U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, herself a citizen of Laguna Pueblo.

William Perry Pendley has served the U.S. Bureau of Land Management under President Trump and is now deputy director for policy and programs. He visited New Mexico in September while still acting as head of the BLM, a role thrown out by a federal judge last week. While in the state, he visited Chaco Culture National Historical Park, a hotspot for the agency, which is developing two million acres of oil and gas leases in the area. During his visit, Pendley spoke with NMiF correspondent Laura Paskus about his vision for the agency, which oversees 700 million acres of land in the West. New Mexico native and current University of Houston law professor Michael A. Olivas has been digging into the history of the DACA program, which deferred immigration enforcement action for childhood arrivals, and the DREAM Act, which has continued to evolve since first introduced in 2001. Correspondent Russell Contreras speaks with Olivas about how the history of the two initiatives informs the present and the future, with next month’s presidential election. Gene Grant and The Line opinion panel look at the rush to get as many New Mexican residents as possible to respond to the 2020 Census. Although the final date to complete the census has been shifting – pushed up from October 31 to September 30 and at this moment October 5 – it’s clear that the deadline looms and is vital for federal funding that New Mexicans be counted. The Line also delves further into what former APD Chief Michael Geier is saying about being forced to retire, and looks at the governor’s dismissal of Mark Shea, the state’s public safety secretary.

“An Investigation into Possible Lunar Alignments of Prehistoric Shrine-Sites at Chaco Canyon” by Anna Sofaer, William Stone, and Robert Weiner The Solstice Project and Brown University There are more than enormous pueblos and beautiful artifacts at the Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico. There are also a number of C-shaped, circular, and cairn masonry structures situated on elevated positions near and throughout Chaco Canyon. These structures appear to have been intentionally interrelated on alignments to the major standstill moon. Since there are deposits of turquoise and other artifacts at these structures, it’s thought that they may be shrines. Consequently, the shrines suggest a level of lunar astronomical expression in Chaco culture through architectural alignments. *Please note: The poster session was absolutely packed, so the background noise on the recording is quite loud

Nathan Hatfield, Chief of Interpretation, discusses the history, nature and visitor experience at Chaco Culture National Historical Park and Aztec Ruins National Monument in northwest New Mexico.
