What kind of fool would plan a trip through the whole of Mexico with eight Navajos, seven still in high school, in 1975? That individual would have to be certifiably out of his mind, of course. But still, that individual being me, as their teacher, considered it the opportunity of a lifetime.
This story will take you through the trials and tribulations of being an outsider to a tribal group of students, who knew next to nothing of the world outside their own small reservation. Together, with their teacher, they traversed the uniquely historic and culturally diverse nation we call Mexico.
In an episodic adventure many of us couldn't even imagine, this motley crew of individuals somehow survived all adversity, including some of their own manufacture. This is their story and mine for all intents and purposes and also of the Emperor Moctezuma.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
After teaching on the Navajo reservation, Andrew Shows moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and established himself as a full-time artist. He owned two galleries and built Kolowisi, the largest standing sculpture in the state of New Mexico, commissioned by the city of Albuquerque. He has sold his work to museums and galleries worldwide. His key motivation for his creations has always involved humor and provoking a joyful response from the viewer. Andrew has also begun a new career as a writer thanks to Sunstone Press, resulting in his first publication, entitled Indians, Cowboys, and UFOs. It is a collection of 100 short tales concerning the life and history of western New Mexico in the 1970s.
