Additional Details:
THE PUEBLO OF COCHITI, TEN MILES NORTH OF DOMINGO, NEW MEXICO, A STATION ON THE MAIN LINE OF THE SANTA FE RAILWAY NEAR ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO, WAS FOUND BY ONATE IN 1598 AND WAS THE SEAT OF THE SPANISH MISSION OF SAN BUENAVENTURA WITH 300 INHABITANTS IN 1680. THE CHURCH, HUNDREDS OF YEARS OLD, IS STILL STANDING. IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE COCHITI INHABITANTS ARE NORMALLY CATHOLICS THEY ARE INTENSELY CONSERVATIVE AND STILL PRESERVE THEIR ANCIENT RELIGIOUS RITES.
