Summary
C.J. Bernal turned shipping containers into Dawn Butterfly, Taos Pueblo’s first full-service restaurant, honoring his late sister Coral Dawn and blending Indigenous art, culture, and community. Fueled by spiritual signs and tribal resilience, he overcame funding hurdles to create a space serving traditional ingredients and fostering local jobs. His vision? Use profits to launch a healing arts center, continuing his sister’s artistic legacy and his grandfather’s land rights fight — while reviving poetry, music, and cultural expression for future generations.
