Monday November 13, 2023: Tucson
“Fort Lowell Neighborhood Walking Tour” starting at Fort Lowell Park,
2900 N. Craycroft Rd., Tucson*
9:30-11:30 am. $30 ($20 for Presidio San Agustín del Tucson Museum
member).
The Presidio San Agustín del Tucson Museum sponsors this this
1.5-mile-long tour with historian and preservationist Ken Scoville that
explains how most of the cultural layers of Tucson are present in the Fort
Lowell area – much more than just the territorial fort and staging area for
the final Indian campaign against Geronimo. The oasis of water and trees at
the confluence of the Pantano Wash and the Tanque Verde Creek, which became
the Rillito (little river), was a draw for many residents from at least as
early as the fifth century including the precontact Hohokam, later farmers
from Mexico, and in 1873 the United States military. In the late 19th and
early 20th century the small farming community of El Fuerte was established
there, and in the teens and twenties artists and dreamers joined to restore
some of the fort’s adobe ruins. By the 1950s huge population growth led to
pressures for change. The Fort Lowell Historic District was created to help
preserve this unique area.

Monday November 13, 2023: Online
“Mexicayotl: The Philsophy, Beliefs, and Teachings of a North
American Indigenous Religious Movement” free online presentation with
Atekpatzin Young (Genízaro Apache), sponsored by Aztlander, Chicago*
8 pm Eastern Standard Time. Free.
There has been a movement across North America toward a “way of life”
rooted in indigeneity called Mexicayotl. Mexicayotl encompasses
participation and belief in a contemporary Indigenous spiritual practice
that embeds the individual in a community. It entrenches the individual in
forms that express a return to indigeneity. Mexicayotl is a dynamic
expression of beliefs, spirituality, rituals, rites, teachings, songs, and
dances culled from 500-plus-year-old codices, the conchero tradition, music,
song, poetry, healing practices, and old religious beliefs. Atekpatzin
Young’s book by the same name is not the definitive reference for
Mexicayotl, merely an attempt to codify aspects of the practice utilizing
verifiable historical sources from the 16th century. It gives credence to
contemporary oral teachings that validate Mexicayotl as a viable response to
500 years of colonization by the largest Indigenous community spanning the
United States and Mexico: the Mexica. Atekpatzin is a consultant, scholar,
writer, artist, and musician who has worked in radio, television, and
theater; as an educator, prevention specialist, psychotherapist, mediator,
and traditional healer serving diverse populations.

Tuesday November 14, 2023: Online
“Indigenous Interests” free Zoom online program featuring the
presentation “Wa’alupe: Yaqui Village in Phoenix Urban Sprawl” by Octaviana
V. Trujillo (Yaqui), PhD, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, PO Box
40577, Tucson AZ 85717
7 to 8:30 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Yaqui Indian families came from Sonora, Mexico, to Arizona’s Salt
River Valley in the 1880s to labor in the agricultural fields, railroads,
and mines. They formed their villages on the outskirts of cities. This is
how Guadalupe came to be. We have been known to be hard workers, strong
minded and of good heart. The Tempe community knew how important we were to
the growth and sustainability of their city. Many today remember how
Guadalupe was so far away from any city, we had so many open spaces to play
and have our fiestas for baptisms, weddings, birthdays, and ceremonies.
There was no Interstate 10 or the largest shopping mall of Arizona. Just
cotton fields, orchards, Japanese flower gardens, a small crop duster
airfield and our monte near us. Many good memories of play, smells, and
place. This presentation will take you to the beginning of our village, now
our cemetery. Guadalupe is still here, it has persisted and flourished
during the most challenging times; the people will make sure it endures.
Octaviana Trujillo is founding Chair and Professor Emerita in the
Department of Applied Indigenous Studies at Northern Arizona University and
former Chairwoman of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona. Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center’s “Indigenous Interests” free Zoom webinar series
provides Native American presenters with a forum for discussing issues
important to Indigenous peoples today. The series is hosted by Old Pueblo
board of directors members Martina Dawley (Hualapai-Diné), Anabel Galindo
(Yaqui), and Maegan Lopez and Samuel Fayuant (Tohono O’odham).

Tuesday November 14, 2023: Phoenix
“New Archaeological Approaches to Ancient City Life” free
presentation by Professor Michael E. Smith for Phoenix Chapter, Arizona
Archaeological Society meeting at S’edav Va’aki Museum, 4619 E. Washington
St., Phoenix*
7 pm. Free.
What better place than Phoenix, Arizona, to talk about how urban life
developed in human history? People have lived in cities for several thousand
years, but what do we know about whether early cities were similar to those
of today, or were radically different? What was life like in the early
cities, and how do we know? In his new book Urban Life in the Distant Past:
The Prehistory of Energized Crowding, Professor Michael Smith of Arizona
State University’s School of Human Evolution & Social Change tries to answer
these questions. Using insights from social science research on modern
cities, he compares cities and looks at individual cases in depth to
conclude that urban life in both past and present is created by the
intersection of the top-down effects of institutions and the bottom-up
processes of people working together outside of control by elites or
institutions.
* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For more
information Call the S’edav Va’aki Museum at 602-495-0901.
Wednesday November 15, 2023: Tucson
“University of Arizona Tour” with Alan Kruse, sponsored by the
Presidio San Agustín del Tucson Museum, beginning in the Arizona Historical
Society parking lot at northeast corner of Euclid Ave. and 2nd St., Tucson*
9-11:30 am. $30 ($20 Presidio Museum members).
After discussing the interesting beginnings of the University in
1885, tour guide Alan Kruse will lead attendees to the historic portion of
the campus beginning with the Main Gate at University Blvd. and Park Ave.

Thursday November 16, 2023: Sedona, AZ
“Emerging Stories in Petroglyphs” free presentation by Richard
Gonsalves for Verde Valley Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society meeting
at the Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road, Sedona, Arizona*
3:30 pm. Free.
No one really knows what the petroglyphs mean but some meanings are
coming out. Petroglyphs in the American Southwest tell many stories from
astronomical to cultural, and some people believe some of them may have
connections to the Aztec and Chinese. Growing up in Snowflake, Ariozna,
Richard Gonsalves has always enjoyed the outdoors. He has hiked and
picnicked in northern Arizona his whole life and has always wondered what
the petroglyphs were all about. He is currently the President of the Agave
House Chapter in Heber/Overgaard of the Arizona Archaeological Society.

“Return Migrations” free online presentation by Lyle Balenquah
(Hopi), Nate Francis (Tewa), Ritchie Sahneyah (Hopi/Tewa), and Autry
Lomahongva (Hopi/Dine), sponsored by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center,
Cortez, Colorado*
4 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations encouraged).
“Indigenous guides traverse ancestral paths on journeys of
remembrance, learning, healing, and respect.” In the Fall of 2022 and Spring
of 2023, four Indigenous men participated in two Crow Canyon Cultural
Explorations trips within the Bears Ears National Monument. Each was invited
along to share cultural perspectives and reconnect to parts of their history
found on the landscape. This webinar highlights their experiences as they
pursue opportunities to train and work as Indigenous guides across their
ancestral lands and rivers. Their discussions focus on issues such as
increasing guide diversity, creating a familiar guide culture, and guiding
as a means for community-based cultural preservation and education. Their
participation, and this webinar, are the result of on-going collaborative
efforts between the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center and its Indigenous
partners.

Thursday November 16, 2023: Online
“Geographies of the Sacred” free online presentation with Matthew
Martinez (Tewa) sponsored by the Archaeological Conservancy, Albuquerque*
5 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations requested).
Dr. Matthew Martinez will draw upon landscapes and rock images that
reflect Indigenous movement and living histories. Despite an ongoing
misrepresentation of being nonliterate, Indigenous people have always been
skilled at documenting stories. Tewa people view themselves within a larger
ecological system interconnected to all things living. Mesa Prieta
(Tsikwaye) is one example of a vast landscape with more than 100,000
petroglyphs and archaeological features that date back thousands of years.
Located on the northern Rio Grande region, this place is embedded in stories
that are foundational to sharing New Mexico histories and beyond. Dr.
Martinez, a former First Lieutenant Governor of Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo, is
Executive Director of the Mesa Prieta Petroglyph Project, a northern New
Mexico nonprofit focused on land stewardship and educational outreach.

in this Ancient Oasis, including the earliest known irrigation canals built
in Aridamerica, the social organizations of enduring irrigation communities,
the abrupt change in water rights and short-lived water development schemes
during the late 19th century, what happened to the Santa Cruz River to make
it the dry and deep channel of today, the effects of transferring water from
the Colorado River, and alternative futures of the Santa Cruz watershed. Dr.
Mabry is a research associate at the University of Arizona Desert Laboratory
whose research has included foraging adaptations, transitions to agriculture

“Ancient Water Management in the Arizona Desert” free presentation
by Gary Huckleberry, PhD, for Rim Country Chapter, Arizona Archaeological
Society meeting at Payson Public Library (in Rumsey Park complex), 328 N.
McLane Rd., Payson, Arizona*
10-11:30 am. Free.
Arizona has a long history of people managing water for agriculture
and human consumption. Evidence for ancient water management is found across
the state and includes canals, reservoirs, and wells. The earliest
irrigation canals and reservoirs thus far identified are in the Tucson area
and date to around 1500 and 500 BCE, respectively. Through time, canal
systems expanded in size, culminating in the impressive network of channels
built by the Hohokam (450-1450 CE) along the lower Salt and middle Gila
rivers. Dr. Gary Huckleberry will review the diversity of evidence, focusing
on archaeological discoveries made in the Sonoran Desert region of central
and southern Arizona, and discuss what lessons we might gain by studying
these ancient features with respect to today’s water challenges. Gary
Huckleberry is an independent consultant and adjunct researcher at the
University of Arizona who specializes in soils, landforms, and archaeology.

“Bell Rocks and Megaphones: Discoveries of Sounds Coupled with
Petroglyphs in Ancestral O’odham (Hohokam) Ritual Landscapes” free
presentation by Janine Hernbrode sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and
Historical Society (AAHS), optional online or in Environmental & Natural
Resources (ENR) Bldg. 2, Room 107 (ground-floor auditorium), 1064 E. Lowell
St., University of Arizona, Tucson*
7-8:30 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Distributed amidst the petroglyphs at three of the largest Ancestral O’odham
(Hohokam) petroglyph sites in Southern Arizona are assemblages of boulders
that resonate when struck producing distinct bell-like sounds. The visual
traces of sound-making on large bell rocks and adjacent bedrock indicate
they were not only chimed with percussion strikers to resonate but also were
abraded with a grinding motion to produce sound volumes. Some of the bell
rocks investigated also appear to have been roughly shaped or pecked to
resemble animal heads, an indication of the boulders being an object
accorded animacy and having “voice.” Many of these boulders have petroglyphs
and use-wear consistent with usage during precontact times. Recent
investigation of remote smaller petroglyph sites that lack naturally
occurring bell rocks has revealed the presence of both bell rock manuports
and a ringing striker. A fourth large petroglyph site lacks bell rocks but
is aligned with a hillside where copper bells were cached. These
discoveries further illuminate the importance of bell-like sounds to the
Hohokam and suggest the bells were necessary to complete the landscape
characteristics of sacred sites. Ethnographic data show that bell sounds and
production of volumes of sound were used historically in Tohono O’odham
rituals. This talk also describes a previously unknown co-occurrence of
landscape features that produce a megaphone-like effect with specific
Hohokam imagery and with rock cracks, holes, or edges that suggest
passageways between the present world and a lower world.
* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event. No
reservations needed for in-person meeting; $1/hr parking is available in U

“Inscribed Indigenous Wisdom: Interpreting Rock Art through
Indigenous Women’s Perspectives and Voices” free online presentation by
Indigenous archaeologist Emily Van Alst, sponsored by Crow Canyon
Archaeological Center, Cortez, Colorado*
4 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations encouraged).
Indigenous archaeologist Emily Van Alst, Assistant Professor of
Anthropology at Washington State University, will explore how rock art
research can move beyond Western methods of identifying, describing,
photographing, and interpreting rock art images and how to better implement
methods and frameworks to explore Indigenous-centered interpretations. Rock
art research has long ignored Indigenous women’s unique knowledge,
experiences, and perspectives when interpreting cultural heritage.
Specifically, Emily argues that by incorporating Indigenous women’s
scholarship, archaeologists can center Indigenous women’s voices and
experiences to understand the meaning of imagery. Rock art, which can be
more than just art but knowledge, communication, and ancestors, is a
permanent form of material culture and must be grounded in the landscape in
which it exists. Women’s cultural and ecological knowledge about landscape
features and plants can further aid in contextualizing and interpreting
imagery.

“Pathfinders Trip to Camp Naco, Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum,
and 1917 Deportation Location” luxury coach tour sponsored by Arizona
Pathfinders, starting at Walmart Supercenter, 1260 E. Tucson Marketplace
Blvd., Tucson*
7 am-6 pm. $220 per person.
During the 1910 Mexican Revolution, Fort Huachuca commanders
established a tent camp where the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad crossed
the Mexican border, at Naco, Arizona. Initially manned by the 9th and 10th
Cavalries, and later the 25th Infantry, collectively known as the Buffalo
Soldiers, its mission was to protect the railroad, prevent smuggling, and
maintain the peace. In 1919 the permanent Camp Naco was constructed. Part of
a 1,200-mile chain of 35 permanent military camps, When camps were
decommissioned in 1923, Camp Naco, one of only two of them constructed of
adobe, remained in place, and now it remains the only camp to retain its
historic integrity. This visit to Camp Naco will be led by well versed
guides including an expert on the Buffalo Soldiers. After lunch the tour
will first visit the Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum, then Warren field
– the scene of the 1917 “Wobblies” striking workers deportation. This last
stop will focus on highlights about the Bisbee deportation and a
presentation by Bisbee deportation researcher and movie participant Mike
Anderson.

“American Indian History and Public Education” free online
presentation by Julie Cajune (Salish) sponsored by the Amerind Museum,
Dragoon, Arizona*
11 am Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations requested)
Native Americans are a distinct minority in the United States for
several reasons. First, they are the original people of this land, and
second, they hold political status as tribal nations. Many Americans do not
understand the political distinction of American Indian Tribes. If we recall
our public-school years of social studies, we find scant content on American
Indian nations or individuals. This circumstance influenced Salish educator
Julie Cajune throughout her career in public education and with her own
tribal nation. One of her efforts to address this situation resulted in the
book Our Way, A Parallel History. Julie will discuss the importance of
history education for a literate society and healthy democracy. Julie holds
a master’s degree in education from Montana State University - Billings.
After several years of classroom teaching on her home reservation, she began
developing tribal history materials and curriculum and served as her Tribe’s
Education Director.

Wednesday December 6, 2023: Tucson
“Presidio District Tour – Why is Tucson the City It is Today” walking
tour with historian Ken Scoville, sponsored by the Presidio San Agustín del
Tucson Museum, beginning at the 1928 Pima County Courthouse, 115 N Church
Ave, Tucson*
10 am-12 pm. $30 ($20 Presidio Museum members).
Beginning at Tucson’s 1928 Pima County Courthouse, guide Ken Scoville
will discuss the archaeological efforts to find the Spanish presidio (fort),
two earlier courthouses built at this same location, and the beginning of
the burg now known as “the Old Pueblo.” El Presidio Historic District
provides many of the answers to why Tucson is the city it is today. Homes
constructed there responded to and later denied the desert environment. The
constant pressure for change and real estate speculation in a growing city
is also a part of the story as the infancy of historic districts established
the desire to preserve the buildings and landscape environment of an area
that connects to important past events and people in the community and
nation.

“Good Fences Make Good Neighbors and Other Proverbs from the
Pleistocene” free online presentation by archaeologist Todd Surovell, PhD,
sponsored by the Pueblo Archaeological & Historical Society, Pueblo,
Colorado, and Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, Cortez, Colorado*
4 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations encouraged).
Dr. Surovell examines the social organization of nomadic peoples in
three case studies: the late Pleistocene Barger Gulch Locality B (Colorado)
and La Prele Mammoth site (Wyoming) archaeological sites and the Dukha
reindeer herders (northern Mongolia) ethnographic case. Dr. Surovell looks
at whether and why people move together as large groups or as autonomous
households, in the latter case generating the kind of fission-fusion
dynamics typical of recent hunter-gatherers. He concludes that in every case
fluid group membership was the norm and argues that the interplay of
cooperation and conflict has resulted in the use of a common organizational
strategy among nomadic peoples. Furthermore, the transition to sedentary
life must have necessitated novel cultural practices to cope with the loss
of the ability to mitigate conflict through mobility.

Thursday December 21, 2023: Online
“Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program featuring
the presentation “Healing and Health in Hopi, Mayan and Andean (Yauyo)
Cultures: Symbiosis with Western Medicine” by anthropologist Sharonah
Fredrick, PhD, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, PO Box 40577,
Tucson AZ 85717
7 to 8:30 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Archaeological finds, colonial Spanish chronicles, and most
importantly, the living memories of tribal elders in Central America, South
America, and the American Southwest demonstrate not only extraordinary
botanical medical knowledge, but understandings of surgery and osteopathy
that contradict stereotypes of Native peoples as always and only practicing
“spiritual” medicine. It is spiritual, mental, and deeply physical, and has
been so for millennia. Through understanding the causal links between
spiritual, physical, mental, and environmental factors, Native medicine
systems, when allied with Western holistic and conventional medicine, have
been able to produce superb results for health and well-being. How can we
learn from these systems, how can we respect Native science without
appropriating it, and what are the connections between the stories of the
Cosmic Twins in Native cultures and their healing abilities for human mental
health? The Hopi, Mayan, and Andean Yauyo cultures are all characterized by
village autonomy and diversity of thought and theory regarding their own
beliefs, a trait that has previously only been associated with so-called
Western societies. The importance of the Twin metaphor and its connections
with healing focus on the need to find continual balance between shifting
polar opposites that are life itself. In this view, health is based on
balance, not elimination of the bad.
