A marker dedicated to Agueda S. Martinez can be found framed by snowcapped peaks in Medanales (Rio Arriba County) on Highway 84. It reads: “Agueda is the matriarch of Hispanic weaving in New Mexico. From a very young age, she was known for her complex designs and natural dyes. She was the subject of the Academy Award-nominated documentary film, Agueda Martinez: Our People, Our Country. Her weaving is carried on by fifty-two direct descendants and can be seen today in many museums, including the Smithsonian.”
