The Aurora Vision film team as part of their Kino documentary focused on the lives of the O’odham people of today. It is their 3rd day in Mexico. More about today’s enduring O’odham people at http://padrekino.com/kino-s-legacy/oodham-people/
Kino described the O’odham people as valiant, desert sharing and hard working. He lived and worked with them for almost a quarter of a century. Dr. Herbert Bolton wrote, “To the Pimas [O’odham], Kino was the Great White Father. They loved him, he loved them, and they were ready to die for each other. To him they flocked as if drawn by a magnet.”

They posted their 23 seconds of unedited footage of the Kino Festival’s Annual Kino Cabalgata. Over 300 riders with cattle honored “The Padre on Horseback” on the 17 mile horseback ride and pilgrimage from Imuris to Magdalena. Kino’s skill as an accomplished horseman and endurance rider allowed him to minister to the O’odham people and to explore and map the Pimería Alta – Kino’s parish of 50,000 sq. miles (130,000 sq. kilometers). Kino is known as “The Padre on Horseback” based on the title of Dr. Herbert Bolton’s 90 page Kino sketch that is online at;

A Day Full of Emotion at The Border Wall in Mexico. On its last day in Sonora, Aurora Vision filmed scenes from Mexican side of The Border Wall for its documentary about Kino’s modern legacy. Padre Kino’s message of human solidarity and understanding can overcome those who seek to create hatred and control the world by their “divide and conquer” speech, policies and Border Walls. In the video post Aurora Vision’s Director Lia Beltrami introduces actors and actresses starring in the doumentary film, the cast includes cabalgantes of Por LosCaminos de Kino. For more than 30 years members of Los Caminos de Kino from both the U.S. and Mexico join in friendship and annually retraced on horseback the trails ridden by Kino. More about Los Caminos de Kino at:
