\nThe 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\/<\/a>
\nKino 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.”<\/p>\n

\nThey posted their\u00a023 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 Pimer\u00eda 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;
