”Pachamama is a goddess revered by the indigenous people of the Andes. Pachamama is usually
translated as Mother Earth, but a more literal translation would be ”Mother world” (in Aymara

making it through to the end! I opened up mini Josefina when my Monday night class ended and when my
online class ends tonight, mini Kit will join her :)
To relate this post to my overall themes of this blog, I thought I’d mention an experience in the past when
reading an American Girl book. In their ”history mystery,” [1]Riddle of the Prairie Bride, widowed father
of 12 year old Ida Kate sends for a mail order bride. She arrives with her one year old baby and it soon
becomes clear that something is amiss. She does not meet her description from her letters, gives inconsistent
