ARIZONA: RESERVATION DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 17 for Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center's Thursday September 18, 2014, 6 to 8:30 p.m. "Third
Thursday Food for Thought" dinner featuring the presentation "Chiricahua
Apaches in Myth and History" with Cochise College-Douglas History and
Anthropology Instructor Rebecca Orozco at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant,
5252 S. Mission Rd., Tucson. As the last Native American group to reach a
peace accord with the U.S. government, the Chiricahua Apache were often
featured in the press. Famous warriors Geronimo and Naiche were photographed
many times. Their story has been the basis of numerous feature films. The
story of their conflict first with the Spaniards and Mexicans who claimed
their homeland, and later with the Americans expanding into the region in a
policy of Manifest Destiny, has become a mix of history and heresy. The full
story never will be completely known. This presentation contains a
collection of historic photos from the end of an era - the late 1800s - that
tell the story of the clash of the people trying save their lifeway and
homeland and the people who believed the land was empty and open for
settlement. There is no entry fee but guests are asked to purchase their own
dinners so that the restaurant won't charge Old Pueblo for their seats, and
donations will be requested to benefit Old Pueblo's educational efforts.
Seating is limited in order for the program to be in compliance
with the Fire Code. Therefore, those wishing to attend must call
520-798-1201 and must have their reservations confirmed before 5 p.m.
Wednesday April 16.

campground are limited so reservations there are highly recommended.
The archaeological sites in Chaco Canyon are some of the most
famous, yet enigmatic, sites in the Southwest. A World Heritage Site, Chaco
attracts thousands of visitors each year, yet most people see only sand,
mud, rock walls, and a treeless desolate landscape. Old Pueblo's tour will
take you beyond the simple brochures and photo-ops to explore the multiple
con-texts of the people who created these magnificent structures. We not
only examine sites within Chaco Canyon, but also out-lier sites north and
south of the canyon proper. The tour is guided by Marc Severson, who has
worked as a professional archaeologist and educator since 1972 and is a
20-year-veteran leader of southwestern tours for Pima Community College and
Old Pueblo. Tentative itinerary:
Thursday: Travel day to meet at Red Lion Hotel, Gallup, NM, check in
with Marc or in the Red Lion lobby by 7 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time and stay
overnight in Gallup. Friday: Drive from Gallup to Chaco Canyon to tour Great
House sites on its north side. Afterward drive to Farmington, NM, to stay
overnight. Saturday: Tour Aztec Ruins in morning, Salmon Ruins in afternoon.
Stay in Farmington overnight. Sunday: Drive from Farmington to Chaco Canyon
to tour "Small House sites" and Casa Rinconada Great Kiva on its south side.
If time permits on the way back to Gallup we will visit the Pueb-lo Pintado
Chacoan Outlier archaeological site. Stay over-night in Gallup. Monday
option: Drive from Gallup to Zuni Pueblo to visit Our Lady of Guadalupe
historic mission church built in 1629; its interior walls feature murals
illustra-ting traditional Zuni ceremonial life (the life's work of Alex
Seowtewa and his sons). Also we will visit the Village of the Great Kivas
Chacoan Outlier site, the Zuni Eagle Rehabilita-tion center, and the home of
the Lalios to see their native pot-tery and jewelry.
