Águila: The Vision, Life, Death and Rebirth of a Two-Spirit Shaman in the Ozark Mountains

Maria Cristina Moroles, Águila (eagle), has lived at Santuario Arco Iris in the Ozark mountains since 1976. It is one of the few women’s land communities in the United States founded by women of color. An Indigenous Mexican American curandera (healer), Águila turned this very, very rugged mountain land into a sanctuary for women and girls.

Maria Cristina Moroles (Águila): Building Sacred Community on the Land

It’s a very complex thing that I’ve taken very seriously as a sacred responsibility. Our mission now is to heal our community, our local community, our Ozark community, and our indigenous community; and to bring all the colors into sacred union again.
