Silver Bullet Productions' documentary, NO GREATER ACT, will be airing on New Mexico PBS on THURSDAY AUGUST 27 at 7:00PM and again on August 28th at 9:00PM. Both airings will be on PBS Channel 5.
Resilience did not begin with the Pueblo Revolt of 1680; nor does this story. Rather, it is the culmination of efforts beginning in the 1500’s to resist Spanish colonization and retain the inherent sovereignty over land, culture, and religion.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT IN NEW MEXICO, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL PBS STATION AND INQUIRE ABOUT A DATE FOR AIRING THIS IMPORTANT DOCUMENTARY IN YOUR AREA.

Carpio “C.J.” Bernal has transformed personal loss into a powerful source of healing and opportunity for his community.

Through the Dawn Butterfly Café, Bernal celebrates Indigenous food traditions while creating a space for conversation, culture and connection. Following the death of his sister, Coral Dawn Bernal, he and his family launched efforts to address issues affecting Native communities and began working toward the creation of an arts and literature center in her memory.

Bernal’s work combines entrepreneurship, cultural preservation and community advocacy. By highlighting Indigenous ingredients, supporting local artists and creating jobs within Taos Pueblo, he has built more than a successful business — he has created a platform for healing, education and empowerment. His vision and perseverance exemplify the spirit of an Unsung Hero.

Please join us as we honor these heroic individuals and their unwavering dedication to our neighbors and the community.

"Autumnus" by Ann Brauer.

Take a look at this stunning, intricate detail from "Autumnus," a 2023 quilt by American textile artist Ann Brauer. Measuring 30 x 60 inches, this masterpiece beautifully bridges the world of traditional quilting and contemporary fine art.

Ann has been designing original quilts for over 40 years from her studio in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. Rather than using traditional blocks, she pieces fabric strips directly through the batting and backing simultaneously. This unique technique creates fluid, line-driven, abstract landscapes of the imagination.

In her own words: "Each piece is a distinct expression of a time and place."

Look closely at the image—you can see how she masterfully uses hundreds of undulating fabric strips, rich seasonal tones, and varied textures to mirror the transitional beauty of changing seasons.
