| Byline: JASON AUSLANDER Dispute over drugs and money led to killing, affidavit states By Jason Auslander The New Mexican FBI agents arrested a Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo teenager Friday for the murder of a 26-year-old man found dead last weekend on a neighboring pueblo, according to court documents. During the dance, which usually occurs at Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo on Christmas Eve, men dressed in headdresses with brightly colored ribbons and capes move to the sound of a single guitar and fiddle (at other locations there may be a drum or other additions). Redding noted that the 2008 Winter Poster Award was given to 9-year-old Jordan Miquela Maes of Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo for a retablo depicting Noah's Ark during last summer's market. |
