Numimblaba comes to Santa Fe
| Numimblaba comes to a writing class at SFCC. See what happens! Numimblaba (the character) is based on a real Northwest Indian mask character whose "job" was to remind people of their humble origins. He would appear from time to time when someone (or some family) had begun to believe that they were better than other people. He would come at night and throw mucous and (sometimes) even shit on their house. Also, the idea that one of the first tests for new shamans is eating their own shit is based on authoritative writings about shamanic traditions in many cultures. |
