Eagle Feathers, Heritage, and Hope | Santa Fe News

The Albuquerque Isotopes made history with their first Native American Heritage Night, featuring custom jerseys designed by San Ildefonso Pueblo artist Evone Martinez. Blending ancestral pottery patterns and future symbolism through her daughter’s image, the jerseys carry profound meaning: eagle feathers encircle the waist, each adorned with a red dot—a prayer for the protection and remembrance of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People. Rooted in the Tewa word “Agin,” meaning respect, the design honors past, present, and future generations. Governor Christopher Moquino affirmed the jerseys represent all 23 New Mexico tribes, symbolizing unity and cultural strength. Game-worn jerseys were auctioned, with proceeds funding a scholarship, and 10% of replica sales also supporting the cause—turning a baseball game into a powerful act of visibility, remembrance, and community uplift.
