Reservation Deadlines for Some Old Pueblo Archaeology Center Events
5 P.M. WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 15 IS THE RESERVATION DEADLINE for Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center’s Thursday November 16 “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner featuring the free presentation and video on “Who Are the Sobaípuri
O’odham: The Sobaípuri Legacy at the San Xavier/Wa:k Community” by Deni J.
Seymour, Tony Burrell, and David Tenario at U-Like Oriental Buffet
Restaurant, 5101 N. Oracle Road (at River Road), Tucson; cosponsored by
Arizona Humanities.
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s
menu)
Over the last couple of decades much has been learned about the
Sobaípuri O'odham who inhabited southern Arizona’s Santa Cruz and San Pedro
valleys at the dawn of written history. However, their actual history
differs substantially in many ways from commonly held notions. The
archaeological and ethnohistoric research of the presenters provides new
perspectives on where and how the Sobaípuri lived, how long they occupied
the valleys of southern Arizona, their relationship to the ancient Hohokam,
and other topics. Special reference will be made to the Sobaípuri of San
Xavier del Bac (Wa:k), where descendant populations reside. Dr. Deni Seymour
is joined by her associates, Elder Tony Burrell and Cultural Specialist
David Tenario of Wa:k, in presenting their video entitled “Who Are the
Sobaípuri O’odham?” followed by interactive lectures and discussions.
Through these means they strive to promote understanding of the human
experience through the eyes of the Wa:k O’odham and their ancestors. Using
discussions and interviews with Wa:k O’odham community members, the video
and subsequent discussions highlight the issues of how public policy,
politics, and economic interest have influenced our understanding of the
Wa:k O’odham and how their heritage has been shaped and in some cases
erased. This program is sponsored by Arizona Humanities and Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center.
Seating space is limited – Reservations are required:

Some Other Upcoming Events with No Reservation Deadlines
Friday November 17, 2017: Tucson
“The Fiber of Their Being: Ancient Basketry at ASM” free presentation
by Ed Jolie sponsored by the Arizona State Museum in Center for English as a
Second Language (CESL) Room 102, 1100 James E. Rogers Way, Tucson*
7 p.m. Free
The Arizona State Museum (ASM) curates basketry and related crafts
that span millennia and offer a rare window into the sophistication of past
weavers who are ancestral to many diverse and vibrant traditions in the
Southwest today. Select examples from ASM's unmatched collections provide a
unique point of departure to explore enduring questions we have about
long-term change and continuity in basketweaving, population movement,
cultural diversity, and ritual practices. Ed Jolie, assistant professor of
anthropology and director of the Perishable Artifact Laboratory at
Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania, is of mixed Oglala
Lakota/Hodulgee Muscogee descent, and a citizen of the Creek Nation of
Oklahoma. His primary research interests are in North American archaeology,
perishable technologies worldwide, past and present social and cultural
diversity, and Native American-anthropologist relations. Reception follows
the program. CESL is one building east of the ASM North building.
* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. To be added to

Monday November 20, 2017: Tucson
“Nomadic Tribes of the Rio Grande Valley” free presentation by Lindsay
Montgomery for Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS) meeting
at Banner University Medical Center DuVal Auditorium, 1501 N. Campbell Ave.,
Tucson*
7:30-9 p.m. Free
The way we evaluate the success and failure of a society is
deeply influenced by our political position as members of Western
Civilization. While this may seem like an obvious statement, the reality is
that we as Westerners often forget that our standing in the world today is
not natural and the questions we ask about that standing are not obvious.
This type of thinking has led to the growth of a very particular genre of
scholarship; what one might call “big picture history.” Many of these big
picture histories seek to explain how exactly it came to be that the West
won and the rest apparently lost. This talk will offer a critique of big
picture history using the Comanche as a case study. Drawing on
archaeological and historical evidence of the Comanche in New Mexico,
Lindsay Montgomery will present an alternative account of the 18th century
Southwest. This account shows that the Comanche were not only resisted
Spanish colonialism but were in control of a vast economic-political empire
of their own. In presenting this alternative history, this talk will argue
that Europe’s victory over underdeveloped and unsophisticated Natives was
far from inevitable.
* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event. No
reservations needed. For details visit www.az-arch-and-hist.org
