Marisela Adams
An immigrant child, a romantic girl, Marisela Adams was born in Palau, Cuahuila, Mexico into a very distinguished family. The family was one of the first white families to settle among the Kickapoo Indians in the Valley of Roses in Cuahuila. Her paternal great grandfather and great grandmother were Don Marcelino Aguilar and Doña Vita Aguilar Elizondo, owners of the Santa Cruz and Guadalupe Haciendas. Her maternal great grandfather and grandmother were Don Ignacio Sánchez and Doña Dolores Sánchez Siller. Her grandfather and grandmother were Don Jesus Aguilar Elizondo and Doña Matilde Aguilar Sánchez Siller.
Don Marcelino and her grandfather Jesus were great friends of the Kickapoo Indians. They were particularly fond of the Kickapoo Chieftain Papicuano who often came to visit them at the Santa Cruz hacienda. Don Marcelino and her grandfather Jesus often visited Papicuano at the Kickapoo settlement called El Nacimiento. Today the Kickapoo Indians continue to have a settlement at El Nacimiento and migrate to Texas periodically. Her grandfather taught her words from the Kickapoo language, so that when she met Kickapoo Indians she would be able to talk with them. Marisela has transferred all of these great memories of the Kickapoo Indians into her book “For a Taste of Morgan” which turns this book into a rich, cultural tapestry of the Kickapoo and Mexican cultures.
