Throwback Thursday: Acequias - a Forgotten History!
Welcome to another Throwback Thursday! In this episode we take a look back at one of Kurly's favorites.
Acequias - A Forgotten History!
The Acequia is a communal irrigation ditch, and its continued use is a testament to the cultural resiliency of the New Mexican people. But where does this tradition come from? Sadly, most New Mexicans have a distorted understanding of Acequia history and credit its creation solely to Moors and Spaniards. In this episode we dig a little deeper, and explore the Mesoamerican contributions to the Acequias of Mexico and New Mexico!
