Monday November 15, 2021: Online
“Learning and Sharing in Oaxaca, Mexico: Cross-Cultural
Exchanges among U.S. Puebloan Weavers, Southwestern Textile Scholars, and
Oaxacan Weavers” free Zoom online presentation and comments sponsored by
Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
7-8:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free.
The Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society’s Traditional
Technologies Program was established in 2018 to provide research and travel
opportunities for Native American and Hispano artists and scholars and
non-Native students and scholars who practice or study Southwestern
traditional arts. Two types of programs are funded in alternating years: (1)
an international study seminar for an invited group of participants to visit
Latin American communities that continue to practice traditional arts and
lifeways, and (2) domestic travel to U.S. museums for a self-organized group
of Native American or Hispano scholars to study collections.
In 2019, the first international travel seminar was organized to
study the indigenous textile and basketry traditions of Oaxaca, Mexico. The
trip was guided by Traditions Mexico, an Oaxaca-based travel company. After
visiting markets and archaeological sites near Oaxaca City, the group spent
six days traveling through the highlands and lowlands of rural Oaxaca,
meeting weavers and other traditional technology practitioners from Zapotec,
Mixtec, Trique, and Amuzgo language communities. U.S. and Oaxacan weavers
exchanged information about traditional weaving methods and practices and
shared their concerns about modern impacts on these textile traditions. The
program will be introduced by Louie Garcia and Laurie Webster, will premiere
the trip documentary by filmmaker Kurly Tlapoyawa, followed by a discussion
of trip highlights by seminar participants Ben Bellorado, Ahkima
Honyumptewa, Chuck LaRue, Chris Lewis, Kurly Tlapoyawa, and Mary Weahkee.

“Oak Flat: A Fight for Sacred Land in the American West” free
online presentation with author Lauren Redniss sponsored by the National
Portrait Gallery’s PORTAL Scholarly Center, Washington, D.C.*
5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Free.
Oak Flat is a holy place, an ancient burial ground and religious
site where Apache girls celebrate the coming-of-age ritual known as the
Sunrise Ceremony. In 1995, a massive untapped copper reserve was discovered
nearby. A decade later, a law was passed transferring the area to a private
company, whose planned copper mine will wipe Oak Flat off the map, sending
its natural springs, petroglyph-covered rocks, and old-growth trees tumbling
into a void. Lauren Redniss’s book Oak Flat: A Fight for Sacred Land in the
American West follows the fortunes of two families with profound connections
to the contested site: the Nosies, an Apache family whose teenage daughter
is an activist and leader in the Oak Flat fight, and the Gorhams, a mining
family whose patriarch was a sheriff in the lawless early days of Arizona
statehood. This presentation will discuss the still-unresolved Oak Flat
conflict, the saga of westward expansion, and the resistance and resilience
of Native peoples.

“Hohokam and Mimbres Rock Art and Ideology” free online presentation
by archaeologist Allen Dart sponsored by The Aztlander Magazine of the
Ancient Americas*
7 p.m. Central Standard Time. Free.
Comparison of 1000-1130 CE Mimbres-culture petroglyphs in New Mexico
and contemporaneous glyphs of the Hohokam culture of southern Arizona helps
define the limits of these two ancient southwestern cultures. Aspects of
their rock art and other material culture also provide clues to their
different ideologies. Certain icons are common to both Mimbres and Hohokam
rock art, whereas each culture also exhibits repeated motifs that apparently
were not produced by the other. Comparing and contrasting the shared and
unshared rock art images, and other aspects of Mimbres and Hohokam cultures,
suggests similarities as well as differences in their respective religious
practices and beliefs.

“Tewa Pueblos at the Dawn of Atomic Modernity” free colloquium
presentation by Dmitri Brown sponsored by School for Advanced Research
(SAR), Santa Fe*
2-3 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations requested)
In late 1942, Manhattan Project officials evaluated potential
locations for their scientific headquarters. They found a site that met
their needs on the Pajarito Plateau in the western hills of the Tewa Pueblo
world. Employing traditional patterns and dynamics, Tewa communities had
long drawn strength from accommodating potentially shattering modern
incursions like the railroad, pottery markets, and archaeology. They used
these same traditions and experiences to meet the coming of the Atomic age.
Viewing the Manhattan Project in the context of the Tewa world, this talk
offers an opportunity to understand the connections between physics,
history, and Tewa philosophy. Dmitri Brown is a PhD candidate in the
Department of History, University of California, Davis, and SAR’s 2021
Katrin H. Lamon fellow.

“Indigenizing Archaeology and Museums” free online presentation by Dr.
Joseph Aguilar sponsored by the Hisatsinom Chapter of the Colorado
Archaeological Society and Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, Cortez,
Colorado*
4-5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations encouraged).
Pueblo Indian people of the American Southwest have multi-faceted and
nuanced relationships with their material culture associated with
archaeological activities. Many of these activities result in collections of
material culture that are eventually housed in museums and other
institutions. One starting point toward gaining some understanding of this
relationship revolves around the idea that the material culture within the
collections embody history, both physically and spiritually, and that
historical memories are given life when Pueblo people re-encounter these
collections. The historical memory and their understanding cultural
patrimonies are tantamount to a form of Indigenous intellect – a physical,
spiritual and intellectual worldview that is inextricably linked to land,
people, and history. This presentation offers a basic understanding of how
Indigenous thought intersects with Indigenous material culture in foreign
contexts (those being outside of Native communities) and how it is essential
to integrate that intellect with collections of material culture.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for
Thought” free Zoom online program featuring “Horses in Rock Art”
presentation by archaeologist Larry Loendorf
7 to 8:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Pictographs and petroglyphs of horses have been made since those
animals were reintroduced to North America by the Spanish in the 1500s.
After horses were in use by northern Plains Indians, they drew hundreds of
scenes that include horses and their riders, often in war-related
activities. Archaeologists have studied enough of these scenes to be able to
recognize Crow horses, Blackfoot horses, Comanche horses, and those of other
peoples. Depictions of horses also are found on rocks on the southern Plains
and across the Colorado Plateau, but not in large numbers. There are places,
however, where they are common. For example, there are hundreds of horse
depictions at sites in Canyon del Muerto, Arizona. Archaeological research
on one spectacular panel there by Robert Mark, Stephen Jett, and Sacred
Sites Research, combined with information gleaned from studying other rock
art horses in the Intermountain West, is the topic of this presentation by
archaeologist Lawrence (Larry) Loendorf, PhD.

“Comanches and Germans on the Texas Frontier” free online presentation
by Daniel J. Gelo, PhD, and Christopher J. Wickham, PhD, sponsored by the
Amerind Museum, 2100 N. Amerind Rd., Dragoon, Arizona*
11 a.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations requested).
Relations between the Comanches and German immigrants to Texas are
most frequently discussed with reference to the Comanche Treaty (Meusebach
Treaty) of 1847. However, a long-neglected document of even greater
significance for our understanding of the Comanches and Germans in Texas
appeared just four years later. In his 1851 article “Über die Verwandtschaft
der Schoschonen, Komantschen und Apatschen”, Heinrich Berghaus published not
only the first Comanche-German dictionary, but also a set of detailed,
original cultural notes and observations, and an original map of Comanche
hunting and grazing grounds. This information represents a goldmine of
information for anthropologists and students of Comanche and Plains Indian
culture. Berghaus obtained his information from German immigrant Emil
Kriewitz, who lived in the village of Penateka Comanche headman Santa Anna
following the 1847 treaty. The circumstances of Kriewitz’s residency throw
light on the nature of the interactions between the settlers and the Native
tribes. This presentation examines in depth the contexts contributing to the
1851 article, the nature of the article’s content, and value of the document
for subsequent scholarship. Daniel J. Gelo is Dean and Professor of

“Chaco and Me” free online presentation with archaeologist Stephen H.
Lekson sponsored by the Friends of Coronado Historic Site, Bernalillo, New
Mexico*
2 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Steve Lekson has stirred up a lot of dust in his time. For over four
decades, much of his archaeological research was focused on Chaco Canyon:
starting with the National Park Service (NPS) Chaco Project, followed by
surveys of the extensive Canyon region and, later, University of Colorado
excavations of Chaco “outliers” at Bluff, Utah, and Chimney Rock, Colorado.
After these field projects came the NPS-sponsored multiyear “Chaco
Synthesis” (as director of a sizable cast of researchers) and, most
recently, “Chaco Landscapes” (junior partner with Drs. Van Dyke and Heitman)
projects. This presentation is an “autobiography” of a set of ideas about
one of the most important archaeological places in the Southwest.

“More than Pocahontas and Squaws: Indigenous Women Coming into
Visibility” free online presentation with Laura Tohe, PhD, sponsored by
Arizona Humanities and Old Trails Museum - Winslow Historical Society,
Winslow, Arizona* 2 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free.
This visual presentation shows how Indigenous American women
have contributed service to Arizona and the US, yet remain invisible in the
media and stereotyped in early films. Nevertheless, they have been honored
in all areas of public service – law, medicine, literature, military,
education, and activism with honors such as the Presidential Freedom Award
and the McArthur “Genius” Award, among others. In some traditional tribal
cultures, women’s lives are modeled after female heroes and sacred women who
exemplify and express courage and kinship values. Rites of passage celebrate
female creativity and the transformative nature of women, hence there was
not a need for the concept of feminism. This talk presents cultural aspects
of Indigenous culture and how women have contributed in significant ways,
not only to their tribal nations, but to contemporary American life. Dr.
Laura Tohe is Diné of the Sleepy Rock clan born for the Bitter Water clan,
Professor Emerita with Distinction at Arizona State University, and the
Navajo Nation Poet Laureate for 2015-2019.

“Turkey Feather Blankets in Ancestral Pueblo History” free Archaeology
Café online lecture by Bill Lipe and Mary Weahkee sponsored by Archaeology
Southwest (ASW), Tucson*
6 to 7 p.m. Free.
For over 1,600 years, a distinctive Southwestern domestic turkey
furnished feathers for ritual uses and for making warm blankets. The birds
also became a significant food source after about 1200 CE. Bill Lipe
(Professor Emeritus, Washington State University) will discuss
archaeological evidence of the development of feather blankets and how they
contributed to Ancestral Pueblo lives, and Mary Weahkee (New Mexico Office
of Archaeological Studies), the best known present-day replicator of turkey
feather blankets, will discuss some techniques used in making them.

Creek, Arizona*
7 p.m. Free.
Research on the beautiful photographic images from Arizona and
southeastern California has been heavily influenced by Eliade (1951) and
David Lewis-Williams (1988) for decades. Dedicated Arizona researchers
Richard Stoffle and Michael Winkelman are quietly trying to improve our
understanding in this field, but paradigms are slow to erode. Using La
Rumorosa and its Patayan/Kumeyaay traditions for examples, Don Liponi
present some new ideas forthcoming in La Rumorosa Volume #3. This is a new

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free
Zoom online dinnertime program featuring “Apache Warriors Tell Their Side”
presentation by author-historian Lynda A. Sánchez
7 to 8:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Eve Ball (1890-1984) was a noted New Mexico chronicler of Apache,
Anglo and Hispanic history. Obtaining their trust over many years, she began
interviewing over 67 of the participants and descendants of those implacable
warriors who fought the Apache Wars. By listening to, rather than trying to
talk over, the old-timers, Eve gathered fresh information and a differing
point of view long before it was popular to do so. Historian and educator
Lynda A. Sánchez will present background about Eve and her stubborn desire
to learn from the Apaches and from their side of the fence, and will
describe what it was like working side by side with this amazing woman.

“Monumental Avenues of the Chaco World: New Research at the
Crossroads of Infrastructure, Ontology, and Power” free Zoom online
presentation by Rob Weiner sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and
Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
7-8:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Researchers have puzzled over wide roadways associated with
Chaco-style Great Houses in the U.S. Southwest for over a century. Despite
frequent references to roads in Chaco scholarship, there has been relatively
little on-the-ground assessment of how roads were used, where they led, and,
more broadly, how they were implicated in the rise and fall of ancient Four
Corners society. In this talk, Rob Weiner will present recent documentation
of monumental roads throughout the Chaco World with particular attention to
small-scale, road-related architectural features and exploring evidence for
practices of offerings, processions, and races. Interpreted in light of
Pueblo and Navajo traditional knowledge, cross-cultural examples, and
perspectives from cognitive science, he will argue that roads and the ritual
practices carried out along them were key to the emergence of both regional
integration and burgeoning inequality during the Chaco era, serving as
tangible manifestations of identity, hierarchy, and cosmography inscribed on
the landscape. Robert Weiner is a PhD candidate at the University of
Colorado Boulder, Research Fellow with the Solstice Project, and Staff
Archaeologist for Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions.

Arizona to escape the Mexican government's war on and deportations of the
Yoeme in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By 1940 there were about
3,000 Yoeme in Arizona, mostly living in the well-established villages of
Libre (Barrio Libre) and Pascua (Barrio Loco) in Tucson, Yoem Pueblo and
Wiilo Kampo in Marana, and others near Eloy, Somerton, Phoenix, and
Scottsdale. Mr. Molina will lead this tour to places settled historically by
Yoeme in the Tucson and Marana areas including Bwe'u Hu'upa (Big Mesquite)
Village, the San Martin Church and plaza in the 39th Street Community
