Benny Shendo, Jr. on HIS VALUES:
"I was born and raised in Jemez Pueblo with the values that come from our people having lived sustainably for generations with respect for the land, the waters, the air, the plants and animals that share this world with us, respect for our family, especially the wisdom of our elders (our grandmothers and grandfathers), respect for our neighbors, our communities and respect for differences among all people. This is what I am made of. This is who I am."
