""Few people are more qualified to talk about New Mexico's acequias than this lifelong Nuevomexicano.""--Pasatiempo ""Juan Estevan Arellano is indigenous to his landscape. He is deeply in touch with his querencia, and he has written a handbook for the Río Arriba bioregion that also serves as a perfect guide for everyone who is concerned with understanding a balanced cultural relationship with homeland. Five gold stars to this great thinker!""--Jack Loeffler, coeditor of Thinking Like a Watershed: Voices from the West ""Once again Juan Estevan Arellano unravels the world of agriculture, land, and water.""--New Mexico Historical Review ""Only Juan Estevan Arellano could have written about the sacred knowledge of water from the perspective of a nuevomexicano who has spent a lifetime observing and learning from his elders and mentors, people who passed on to him the memory of the land, water, and community. Arellano should be declared a State of New Mexico Historic Treasure.""--José A. Rivera, author of La Sociedad: Guardians of Hispanic Culture Along the Rio Grande
