A counter-culture newspaper from New Mexico...

Item # 712242 ·
THE SANTA FE HIPS VOICE, March-April, 1971 "

* Rare Western counterculture publication
* "Back to the Land" movement 

All The News That Fits from Santa Fe & from Around Our Polluted Globe." This was an underground hippie, counter-culture newspaper, not uncommon from this era. Content is as would be expected, including several marijuana-related articles, with photos. The back page has a famous full page photo showing John Lennon and Yoko Ono unclothed. Not shown in images. 
Complete in 24 pages, 8 1/2 by 11 inches, very nice condition.

background: This 24-page time capsule is a high-voltage relic of the 1971 New Mexico counter-culture explosion, capturing the raw, unedited pulse of the "Back to the Land" movement when Santa Fe was the spiritual epicenter of the American Southwest. Beyond its witty, anti-establishment jab at the New York Times masthead, this issue is a powerhouse of vintage cannabis history and early eco-activism, dripping with period-authentic psychedelic graphics and investigative grit. The ultimate "eye-popper" is the daring, full-page back cover featuring John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s iconic "Two Virgins" portrait—a bold middle finger to the era’s censorship that instantly elevates this from a mere local rag to a museum-quality artifact of the Global Underground Press. For a collector, it isn't just newsprint; it’s a portal into a world of desert communes, radical peace movements, and the unfiltered soul of the hippie revolution.
