"Reservation Dogs" Composer Mato Wayuhi, Celebrating the Bosque and Shopping Local this Holiday Season | 11.29.21

New Mexico in Focus (A Production of NMPBS)

It was one of the stand-out shows of 2021. Reservation Dogs gives a unique, sometimes comedic and sometimes poignant glimpse inside the lives of a group of Native American teenagers. Correspondent Laura Paskus explores what makes the show so unique, including the musical score. She talks to composer Mato Wayahi about his involvement and process.

And, on this Thanksgiving weekend we offer our appreciation to one of Albuquerque’s living treasures, the Bosque. This Emmy-nominated Our Land piece is a visual celebration of one of the country’s most unique and diverse public spaces.

Lastly, we look at the importance of shopping local, especially this year, as business owners look to recover from a really tough two years due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
