Dr. Tirtha Mukhopadhyay from Guanajuato, Mexico one of our most popular guest scholars, is back for a discussion on the Supernatural Gamekeeper.  Much to say about this figure and how they are rendered on stone canvasses, what they mean, who they are, and what we can learn from Native people regarding the protective and abiding deities that ensure nourishment and sustainability for our indigenous brothers and sisters.  Great discussion!
