On this day 333 years ago, Adrienne’s 8th great-grandmother Mary Esty was hanged in Salem Village after being falsely accused of witchcraft. She was innocent. Chaski supports freedom and justice for all. Art by Shari Cookson. #Chaski40th @flautadita60.bsky.social @shanahipharpy.bsky.social

Just days after 9/11, Chaski performed at the Grace Museum in Abilene. Our host was inspired to wear a keffiyeh, a symbol of resistance, hope, and solidarity with those unwitting recipients of a surge of unfounded ethnic hatred. 🐪 #chaski40th @flautadita60.bsky.social @shanahipharpy.bsky.social

Be careful—it’s violent out there. This green lynx spider 🕷️ paralyzed the honey bee 🐝 on the kidneywood. Which is the “bichito de flor” (flower bug) that Chaski will play on its upcoming Postcards from South America concerts? #chaski40th @flautadita60.bsky.social @shanahipharpy.bsky.social

On this day in 1850, California was admitted as the 31st U. S. state. In 2016, Adrienne and Shana braved the cold July winds and visited the Pacific Ocean🌊 on California's coast while on our "Oceans of Space" tour. #chaski40th @flautadita60.bsky.social @shanahipharpy.bsky.social
