Here you go, though seeing it in person is better. It is hard here to make
out the 20 different feet placed about the mural and a number of the other
thoughtful additions. It is easy to walk by a statue of Onate on his horse
and know nothing about the monstrous event initiated by him. The multiple
vandalisms, the stealing of his foot (feet), was not meaningless. As the NYT
article states:
/In 1599, they included amputating a foot from each of more than 20 male
captives from Acoma Pueblo. The viceroy in Mexico City forced Oñate to
resign as governor of New Mexico, and the conquistador was put on trial and
found guilty of excesses. Oñate never returned to the land he conquered./
A mural referencing, a vandalism, referencing a monstrous act. The mural
here incorporating the vandalisms into the greater story.
