DETAILS:

PAKWA MANA was inspired by the mysterious woman who was buried within the Dominguez Pueblo ruin near Dolores, Colorado. She wore an unusual Frog Pendant, a symbol of life-giving waters.

Spirit frogs are drawn up to the clouds with the water, uniting in an unbroken circle with the Salako Spirits that bring life to the desert people.
