RESERVATION DEADLINES FOR OLD PUEBLO ARCHAEOLOGY CENTER EVENTS
5 P.M. WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 14 IS THE RESERVATION DEADLINE for Old
Pueblo Archaeology Center's Thursday November 15, 2018 "Third Thursday Food
for Thought" dinner featuring the presentation "The Peaceful Enemies:
Tucson's Apaches de Paz, 1786-1873" by historian Jim Turner at El Molinito
Mexican Restaurant, 10180 N. Oracle Rd., Oro Valley, Arizona
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant's
menu)
Apaches de Paz, the 'Peaceful Enemies' (Apachu means "enemy" in
Zuni), were also known as Manso Apaches. When they immigrated from the Great
Plains the Athapaskan-speaking Apache retained their hunter-gatherer
lifestyle. That included raiding, which led to violence and retaliatory
attacks. But in 1786 New Spain's Viceroy Bernardo de Galvez called for a
plan that involved forming peace camps for the Apaches. If they agreed to
settle in camps near the presidios the Apaches would receive allotments of
beef, blankets, and guns. The Spanish army also provided the Mansos with
horses and used them as auxiliary troops against other Apaches who were
still raiding. The Galvez plan was successful for several decades, and by
1871 there were still more than a hundred Apaches de Paz living near Tucson
and others who had intermarried with the Tohono O'odham and lived near San
Xavier Mission.

ALMOST FILLED: 5 P.M. WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 28 IS THE RESERVATION
DEADLINE for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's Saturday December 1st "Dragoon
Springs Stage Station-Cochise/Howard Treaty Sites" tour guided by
archaeologist Dr. Deni J. Seymour and historian Norman Wisner, departing
from south side of Interstate-10 Exit 312 (Sybil Road) about 9 miles east of
Benson, Arizona
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (start & end times at I-10/Sybil Rd.; add your time
to travel to there & back home). A $45 donation per participant ($36 for Old
Pueblo Archaeology Center & Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members) helps
cover Old Pueblo's tour expenses and supports its education programs about
archaeology and traditional cultures.
This tour to the historic Dragoon Springs Stage Station and
Cochise-Howard Treaty Site archaeological sites in the foothills of southern
Arizona's Dragoon Mountains will be led by archaeologist Dr. Deni Seymour,
whose lifelong research has focused largely on the Protohistoric and
Historic period Native American and Spanish cultures of the United States'
"southern Southwest," and Norman Wisner, a historian who is especially
knowledgeable about the Dragoon Springs site. Dragoon Springs, now listed on
the National Register of Historic Places, served the "Jackass Mail" and
Butterfield Overland mail companies during the 1850s and 1860s, and was the
site of altercations in which construction workers and soldiers of both the
Confederate and Union armies were killed, allegedly by Apaches. Debate
surrounding the burials will be incorporated into the discussion. A second
site, the Cochise-Howard Treaty location, is where Brigadier General Oliver
Otis Howard met with the Apache leader Cochise in October 1872 to negotiate
the surrender and relocation of Cochise's Chokonen Apache band. The place of
that meeting, which culminated in a peace treaty between Cochise's band and
the U.S. government, has been published by Dr. Seymour based on photographs
of unique boulder formations, written historical descriptions of the
landscape, and archaeological evidence that she will discuss during our
visit. Detailed historical accounts and archaeological investigations enrich
our understanding of the location.
Reservations and donation prepayment required by by 5 p.m. Wednesday

5 P.M. TUESDAY DECEMBER 18 IS THE RESERVATION DEADLINE for Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center's Thursday December 20, 2018 "Third Thursday Food for
Thought" dinner featuring the presentation "300 Years after His Death Father
Kino's Sonora and Arizona Missions Live On" by Father Greg Adolf in the
Dining Hall and Petroglyph Auditorium of the Picture Rocks Redemptorist
Renewal Center (PRRNC), 7101 W. Picture Rocks Road, Tucson
Petroglyphs tour starts at 5 p.m., dinner at 6, presentation 7-8:30
p.m. Dinner $16 per person, tour and presentation free. Order your own
dinner off of the restaurant's menu).
Three hundred years after his death, Jesuit Padre Eusebio Francisco
Kino's impact on Arizona and Sonora continues to shape the culture and
economy of two nations, as well as the Native American communities in this
part of the world. Beginning in 1687, and continuing for the next 24 years
until his death in 1711, Padre Kino established a string of missions and
ranches across the area, while exploring and mapping an area of 50,000
square miles. In addition to founding almost two dozen missions and
introducing Christianity to thousands of Native Americans, Padre Kino
brought about major changes in the area's agriculture, economics, and, of
course, the culture. Padre Kino introduced European tools and agricultural
methods, as well as many European fruits and grains to Arizona, including
citrus trees and wheat. The Jesuit also became one of the first and largest
cattle ranchers in northern Mexico and southern Arizona, and he trained many
Native Americans to become the first cowboys in the area, another lasting
legacy. Well-known folklorist James "Big Jim" Griffith says that every time
we enjoy carne asada or quesadilla, we are paying tribute to the "Padre on
Horseback"! Commemorated with heroic equestrian statues and place names
across the Borderlands, Padre Kino emerges from the historical records as a
man of immense vision, a dedicated "bridge builder" between peoples and
cultures, and a defender of the Native Peoples.
Before dinner archaeologist Allen Dart will lead a free tour to the
Picture Rocks petroglyphs.
For this one-time event the dinner fee is $16 per person payable to
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center by check or credit/debit card no later than 5
p.m. Tuesday December 18, so that Old Pueblo can tell the PRRNC on December
19 how many people will attend. Donations will be requested during the event
to benefit Old Pueblo's educational efforts. Call Old Pueblo at 520-798-1201
no later than 5 p.m. December 18 to make reservations and pay for dinner.
