Red Feather Diner and Tours of Old Town have joined forces to provide a frighteningly good evening of fun in Old Town Albuquerque.
Start off with a succulent Old Town Burger at Red Feather Diner. this 1/4-pound burger comes topped with lettuce, tomato and red onions and comes with your choice of shoestring fries or potato salad on the side.
Next, legends, folklore, ghost stories and history will come to life as you depart on an intriguing excursion through 300 years of haunted history. Old Town was founded in 1706, and for more than three centuries people have lived and died around the Old Town Plaza. The historic buildings and dark alleys conceal the long-forgotten secrets of battles, murders, hangings, and hidden cemeteries. Professional Tour Guides escort you on a 90-minute, lantern-lit adventure. You will search for the lost souls of early residents, Civil War phantoms, spooks, specters, wandering apparitions and over one dozen other ghosts who have made Old Town their eternal home. Learn the history and basics of Ghost Hunting as you hear the chilling stories of actual events. Old Town is one of the most actively haunted locations in North America. Residents, employees and tourists have all experienced unexplained phenomena. From actual sightings of full apparitions which seem to vanish impossibly into thin air; to disembodied voices heard in empty buildings; even objects moving mysteriously on their own. Come with an open mind — and an appetite — and bring your digital camera. Guests have captured many curious unexplained phenomena in photos taken during the tour.

“It brings tears to my eyes to see our traditions stay alive, that were being robbed from us,” says David Redfeather, in a YouTube video on the NACA Drum and Dance Troupe. “But they’re sill alive and they’re still well and breathing through our children and the mothers and the grandmothers and the grandfathers.”
Red Feather Shop has a deep and long-standing relationship with the dance troupe, hosting numerous performances at the Old Town Albuquerque location, and helping support and supply the troupe through the recently opened Red Feather Trading Post.

On Monday night, May 14, nearly 100 Old Town Albuquerque residents, business owners and tourists helped make the soft launch of the Red Feather Diner a huge success. Customers were treated to specially priced cross section of the menu, which featured Native American, Mexican and American favorites. The All Nations Taco, with its fry-bread base, was a huge success, as was the green chile stew. The Red Feather Diner is now open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. The diner is located just across the courtyard from Red Feather, and next door to the new Red Feather Trading Post.
Dancers from the Native American Community Academy, who helped make last weekend’s grand opening of Red Feather an unforgettable celebration, will be performing through the spring in Old Town Albuquerque. All performances will be from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Old Town Plaza Park. The dates are:
About the dancers:
This is the 5th year that the NACA Pow-wow Club has been in existence under the administration of Duta Flying Earth. This year Marc Maritn-Keka, school intern and community volunteer, is teaching the students about the difference dance styles, history of the dances, and working individually with students to enhance their dancing skills. Duta Flying Earth teaches the drum group the songs and proper protocol of being around the drum.
The club picked up after going into all of the 6th grade health and wellness classes in October and November to teach about Pow-wow Lifestyle. The Pow-wow Club Dance/Singing Practice Nights began in November every Wednesday nights from 4-5:30pm. We have had a big interest with 20-30 students that take part in the pow-wow club each week.
This year Marc Martin-Keka is creating a NACA Drum and Dance Troupe which has already booked several events to present their pow-wow song and dance skills. We have at least one dancer to represent each pow-wow dance style and 8-10 singers.
In February and March the NACA Drum Group was asked to perform at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and Hotel Albuquerque. The NACA Drum and Dance Troupe has been asked to perform for the UNM Graduate Conference in April.
As the end of the year activity we are planning on have the student participate in an over night trip to the Socorro Mother’s Day Pow-wow. This will allow the students to participate in a pow-wow to the fullest.
We are currently taking donations of supplies, materials, beads, feathers, and old outfits that are not being used. Please drop off any donations to the front office care of NACA Pow-wow Club.
Goal for this year: 1. Teach the history of pow-wows and dance styles 2. Create the NACA Drum and Dance Troupe 3. Organize annual end of the year Pow-wow
The group is open to all community members. If you would like to check us out come on Wednesday from 4-5:30pm. Thank you for your support! We are also on Facebook – look up – Native American Community Academy Drum and Dance Troupe for more information, events, and messages.
We all walk through this dilemma wondering where to turn. Oftentimes wondering which road to take, it seems that there is nowhere to go and nowhere to hide.
The pains we often consider of this crazy mixed up world. The human condition is that which keeps us from our truest awakening of spiritual glory. Detaching from one place only to become trapped in another, wondering across the country to distance places and emptiness persists. Filling the void of time and space we call life then the knock comes to our heart. Wow! We are trapped in our self and what a scary place to be alone so it appears.
Is there anyone out there that truly understands this place we turn to dogma after dogma, searching these places we never would consider? Opening books and the more confused we become why does this anger persist, and how did I give it so much power to rule this simple place we call our body. Then we turn a corner stumble across our prayer do we follow it or turn away once again. Inspiring words are tender to the heart when it comes to unconditional love. Strangers in a familiar place, let’s say, the dark before the light, and its here we must find the light so our true being can emerge and what a discovery. The door opens may we enter can we say no or is this an illusion of our mind. There on the wall hangs the clothes of our soul.
These are the clothes we have been looking for our true being. That we do unto this world, we see, will not ever be the same, what a glorious concept. The awakening of the heart we have arrived at last. The day pain and confusion departs hold my hand please.
