The event is free with museum admission. Sundays free to NM residents and children 16 and under. \nAmong the things you'll see: \nSpinning: String made from plant or animal fibers serves as the basis for many of New Mexico’s fiber art forms.  Pueblo people used drop spindles to spin cotton or yucca fibers\, which they later wove into cloth.  Spanish settlers  in the 17th century introduced both the upright spinning wheel and Churro wool.  Churro – with its long stapled fibers – became the predominant textile fiber in all three preexisting weaving traditions: the Pueblo\, Navajo\, and Spanish.    \nVisitors will be given the chance to transform Churro wool roving into yarn with master spinners using both the huso or malacate (or drop spindle) and the torno ahilado (the upright spinning wheel).  The Española Valley Fiber Arts Center will provide a variety of drop spindles\, spinning wheels\, roving\, and examples\, and help visitors experiment with this highly tactile activity.  \nWeaving: Pueblo\, Navajo\, and Spanish weaving traditions exist side-by-side here in Northern New Mexico\, and often intermingle.  Historically\, Pueblo people used back-strap looms to make sashes and belts and vertical weighted looms for larger fabrics\, blankets\, shirts\, and dresses.  The Navajo have historically used Navajo style or frame looms.  And the Spanish relied primarily on the European treadle loom\, which has since been incorporated into all three traditions.  These looms have served as a vehicle for tradition and personal expression\, as is evinced in the diversity of motifs present in northern New Mexico weaving. \nParticipants will be given the chance to examine a variety of loom types (including backstrap\, Navajo style\, and jack loom)\, and try their hand at weaving.  Contemporary weaving will be on display.  The Center will provide looms\, yarn\, and weaving instruction.  \nHome Lands: How Women Made the West\, June 19-Sept. 11\, is the centerpiece of the History Museum's exploration of women this summer. Originally organized by the Autry National Center in Los Angeles\, it features additional materials from the History Museum’s collections. The largest of the summer’s four exhibits\, it sweeps across the centuries in three regions: the Rio Arriba of northern New Mexico; Colorado’s Front Rage; and the Puget Sound. \nDownload high-resolution photos from the Home Lands exhibit by clicking on "Go to related images" at the bottom of this page. \nOther summer exhibitions at the History Museum celebrating the unsung heroes of the West: \nRanch Women of New Mexico\, April 15-Oct. 30 in the Mezzanine Gallery\, highlights 11 women in this excerpt from an exhibit originally prepared by photographer Ann Bromberg and writer Sharon Niederman. \nNew Mexico’s African American Legacy: Visible\, Vital and Valuable\, May 15-Oct. 9 in the second-floor Gathering Space\, tells the stories of the families who planted their roots and created a home in the Land of Enchantment following the Civil War. \nHeart of the Home\, May 27-Nov. 20 in La Ventana Gallery\, spotlights historic kitchen items from the History Museum’s collections. \nThe full schedule of lectures and workshops supporting these exhibitions; all are free and in the History Museum auditorium unless other noted: \nSunday\, June 12\, 2-4 pm: Symposium on “The Journey of the African American North\,” including stories from Santa Fe and Española. \nSunday\, June 26\, 2 pm: “Captive Women in the Slave System of the Southwest Borderland.” Lecture by James F.

(Seating is limited.) At 6:30\, come to the Palace of the Governors Courtyard for a toe-tapping and boot-scooting performance by Breaking Blue. (Wear your dancing shoes!). Preceding the band\, Albuquerque spoken-word poet Carlos Contreras will perform his poem “Communion in the Desert (A Trip to the New Mexico History Museum).” \nAll the events are free. Come for one or for all three. \nEach performer has a tie to El Palacio\, the magazine of the Museums of New Mexico. Houston wrote about why she chose the Western life in the summer issue of El Palacio\, “My Ranch\, Myself: Making a Home on the Land.” (For an earlier El Palacio interview with Houston\, go here.) Breaking Blue wrote a song based on an article in the winter 2008 issue of El Palacio\, “Dearest Annie: Letters from Fort Selden.” And an interview with Contreras along with “Communion in the Desert” ran in the spring issue; a video of him performing it in the Palace Courtyard is on the magazine’s web site. \nHouston’s new book\, Contents May Have Shifted\, will be published by W.W. Norton in early 2012. Among her earlier books are Cowboys Are My Weakness\, Waltzing the Cat\, A Little More about Me\, and Sight Hound. Her stories have been selected for volumes of Best American Short Stories\, the O. Henry Awards\, the Pushcart Prize\, and Best American Short Stories of the Century. She has won the Western States Book Award\, the WILLA award for contemporary fiction\, the Evil Companions Literary Award\, and multiple teaching awards. Director of creative writing at the University of California\, Davis\, Houston also teaches in The Pacific University low residency MFA program\, and at writers’ conferences around the country and the world\, including the Taos Summer Writers' Conference. \nShe lives on a ranch at 9\,000 feet in Colorado near the headwaters of the Rio Grande. \nBreaking Blue's members come from different walks of music – from jazz to heavy metal to classical – but are united in a passion to perform what they call "shabby-chic Americana music." Along the way\, they’ve revived some traditional American “Old Time” songs and lyrics that have been forgotten or re-written over the years. \nIn 2009\, the group won the Santa Fe Bluegrass Festival Song writing contest. Other awards include the 2011 New Mexico Music Award for Best American Song ("Old Roads"); the 2010 Santa Fe Bluegrass Festival Old Time Band Competition; and the 2010 Albuquerque Folk Festival Band Contest. \nContreras competed on the team that brought the National Poetry Slam Championship home to his native Albuquerque. His awards include the New Mexico Hispanic Entertainers Award for Poet of the Years in 2007. With the Voces program at the National Hispanic Cultural Center\, he leads workshops in poetry composition and performance. Contreras has published poems in several anthologies\, and a book\, A Man in Pieces: Poems for My Father. \nFor “Communion in the Desert\,” El Palacio commissioned him to tour the New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors and compose a poem about the trip. \nFounded in 1913 as the scholarly journal of the state’s then-only museum – the Palace of the Governors – El Palacio has covered the exhibits\, public programs and scholarship of the Museum of New Mexico’s four Santa Fe museums (New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors\, Museum of International Folk Art\, Museum of Indian Arts and Culture/Laboratory of Anthropology\, and New Mexico Museum of Art)\, as well as the Office of Archaeological Studies and the six State Monuments (Coronado\, Jemez\, Fort Selden\, Lincoln\, Fort Sumner\, and El Camino Real International Heritage Center). \nDownload high-resolution images of Houston and Breaking Blue by clicking on "Go to related images\," below. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/1079-readings-by-pam-houston-and-bluegrass-tunes-by-breaking-blue-an-el-palacio-magazine-event/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/1079_thumb.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marlon Magdalena":MAILTO:marlon.magdalena GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110725T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110725T163000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175440Z CREATED:20110707T034903Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175440Z UID:10002020-1311586200-1311611400@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Women Planting Seeds: Home\, Healing and Horticulture A Two-Day Home Lands conference DESCRIPTION:Join the History Museum and the New Mexico Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts for a conference on "Women Planting Seeds:  Home\, Healing and Horticulture\," from 9 am to 4:30 pm\, on Monday\, July 25\, and 9 am to 12 pm\, on Tuesday\, July 26\, in the History Museum Auditorium.

Children and grandchildren of artists associated with the Palace of the Governors' Portal Program will demonstrate their own arts and crafts in the Palace Courtyard from 9 am to 3 pm\, July 23 and 24. \nSee the artwork\, purchase refreshments\, and strike up a relationship with an artist still learning his or her craft. \nThe Native American Artisans Program (commonly called "the Portal Program") provides the children an opportunity to learn from their parents and grandparents and to continue the cultural economic development supported by their hand-crafted works. The Young Natives Arts & Crafts Show is free; enter through the Blue Gate south of the New Mexico History Museum's main entrance. \nAlong the south side of the Palace of The Governors\, Native American artists and craftspeople sell their handmade goods to tourists and local Santa Feans almost every day of the year\, rain or shine. The 900+ vendors of the Native American Artisans Program represent 41 tribes\, pueblos\, chapters and villages in New Mexico\, the Navajo Nation\, and parts of Arizona. The Vendors Committee creates and enforces rules for those who sell their work under the portal. The rules emphasize authenticity (a maker's mark is required on all goods)\, traditional materials\, and handmade work produced as generations of Native artisans have created it. \nThe vendors at the Palace of the Governors sell only the highest quality merchandise: handmade by the vendors themselves\, not mass-produced or imported.

Macomb\, chief of the Army's Corps of Topographical Engineers in New Mexico\, received $20\,000 to locate a military route from Santa Fe into Utah\, somewhere near the junction of the Green and Colorado rivers. His became the first expedition to officially explore and map the wild deserts and canyon lands earlier crossed by the easternmost end of what was called the "Old Spanish Trail\," a trading route from Santa Fe to California. \nMembers of the expedition crossed paths with the likes of Kit Carson and Bishop Lamy and produced a portfolio of lithographs depicting everything from Camel Rock to Shiprock and beyond. \nEven today\, the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers\, now in Canyonlands National Park\, near popular tourist destination Moab\, cannot be reached or viewed easily. Much of the surrounding region remained remote and rarely visited for decades after settlement of other parts of the West. \nMacomb's expedition produced an early and substantial documentary record\, including the first detailed map of the region.

The native New Mexican\, home economist and author saw them as an opportunity to thrive. \nDuring the Depression\, she worked for the New Mexico Agricultural Extension Service\, helping Hispanic and Tewa women learn new gardening and poultry-raising techniques\, along with how to can vegetables and fruits\, use sewing machines\, and make simple home repairs. She valued traditional ways and documented the recipes for everyday fare that would one day grace restaurant menus throughout the state. \nAt 2 pm on Sunday\, July 10\, Dr. Tey Diana Rebolledo\, regents professor at the University of New Mexico\, will speak on Cabeza de Baca’s life and legacy. Her lecture\, “Fabiola Cabeza de Baca and the Good life\,” in the History Museum Auditorium\, is free with admission; Sundays are free to NM residents. \nWhen Cabeza de Baca began working for the Extension Service\, none of the other agents spoke Spanish\, even though more than half of the state spoke no English. Working at first in Rio Arriba and Santa Fe counties\, she traveled among towns from dawn until midnight. “Some of our counties are larger in area than many of our eastern states\,” she once said. “We say so many miles to a person rather than persons to a mile.” \nIn the 1940s\, Cabeza de Baca began writing – Extension Service bulletins\, including “Noche Buena\,” documenting traditional cultural practices; The Good Life\, a fictional account of a family and recipes of their favorites foods; and We Fed Them Cactus\, which told of her family’s four generations on the Llano Estacado\, blending nostalgia with a critical view of how progress was affecting Southwestern Hispanics. \nIn her later years\, Cabeza de Baca became an active member of La Sociedad Folklorica of Santa Fe\, an organization dedicated to preserving Spanish culture. She died in 1991. \nRebolledo is a noted scholar of Chicana literature\, along the way earning an NEH Fellowship\, a Bogliasco Institute Fellowship\, a Rockefeller Fellowship and a Danforth Fellowship. She has been named a Distinguished Professor\, a UNM Regents' Professor and a New Mexico Eminent Scholar. Her publications include The Chronicles of Panchita Villa and Other Guerrilleras: Essays on Chicana/Latina Literature and Criticism (University of Texas Press\, 2005); Women Singing in the Snow: An Analysis of Chicana Literature (University of Arizona Press\, 1995); and\, as co-author\, Infinite Divisions: An Anthology of Chicana Literature (University of Arizona Press\, 1993). She is also the co-editor of Nuestras Mujeres and Las Mujeres Hablan\, as well as many journals and book chapters. \nHome Lands: How Women Made the West (through Sept. 11) anchors the History Museum's exploration of women this summer. Originally organized by the Autry National Center in Los Angeles\, it features additional materials from the History Museum’s collections. \nThe summer's full schedule of lectures and workshops; all are free and in the History Museum auditorium unless other noted: \n \nSunday\, June 12\, 2-4 pm: Symposium on “The Journey of the African American North\,” including stories from Santa Fe and Española. \nSunday\, June 26\, 2 pm: “Captive Women in the Slave System of the Southwest Borderland.” Lecture by James F.

Brooks for the kickoff of the programming series for Home Lands: How Women Made the West. At 2 pm on Sunday\, June 26\, Brooks\, president of the School for Advanced Research\, speaks on “Captive Women in the Slave System of the Southwest Borderland.” The lecture is free with admission (Sundays free to NM residents) in the History Museum Auditorium. \nBrooks is the author Captives & Cousins: Slavery\, Kinship\, and Community in the Southwest Borderlands (University of North Carolina Press\, 2001). The book explores the origins and legacies of a flourishing captive exchange economy within and among Native American communities and European colonists. His research begins in the Spanish colonial era and runs through 1909\, when an American woman discovered she had inherited 32 Ute slaves – possibly the last slaves in the United States. \nBrooks writes that indigenous and colonial traditions of capture\, servitude\, and kinship formed a "slave system" in which victims symbolized social wealth\, performed services for their masters\, and produced material goods under the threat of violence. Slave and livestock raiding and trading provided labor\, redistributed wealth\, and fostered kin connections that integrated disparate groups even as they renewed cycles of violence. \nIn its Rio Arriba section\, Home Lands includes a late 19th-century blanket woven by a Navajo woman held captive in a Spanish home. The blanket shows how the forced blending of cultures resulted in an evolution of weaving traditions\, with Native American techniques influencing Spanish techniques\, and vice versa. (Download a high-resolution image of the blanket by clicking here.) \nHome Lands\, open June 19 through Sept. 11\, anchors a summer-long celebration of history’s unsung heroes. Its companion exhibits: Ranch Women of New Mexico through Oct. 30; New Mexico’s African American Legacy: Visible\, Vital\, Valuable\, through Oct. 9; and Heart of the Home\, through Nov. 20. Originally organized by the Autry Museum and augmented with items from the History Museum\, Home Lands explores the stories of women across the centuries in three geographic regions: New Mexico’s Rio Arriba\, Colorado’s Front Range\, and Washington’s Puget Sound. \nThe full schedule of lectures and workshops supporting these exhibitions; all are free and in the History Museum auditorium unless other noted: \nSunday\, June 12\, 2-4 pm: Symposium on “The Journey of the African American North\,” including stories from Santa Fe and Española. \nSunday\, June 26\, 2 pm: “Captive Women in the Slave System of the Southwest Borderland.” Lecture by James F.

The event is free with admission; Sundays are free to New Mexico residents. \nRita Powdrell\, president of the African American Museum and Cultural Center of New Mexico and one of the symposium’s organizers\, sees it as an interactive opportunity for panelists and audience members to share information. The museum\, which is still seeking a physical home\, helped pull together the African American Legacy exhibition\, which focuses on Albuquerque\, Las Cruces\, and the post-Civil War community of Blackdom. The AAMCC is actively collecting information about other parts of the state to one day expand the exhibition’s reach. People with oral histories\, as well as photographs\, diaries and other ephemera are encouraged to attend. \nThe symposium will divide the topic into eras\, from 1880 to the present\, with discussions on original families\, churches and social organizations\, patterns of integration and segregation\, and entrepreneurship. \n“We will cover some issues that are unique to Santa Fe\,” Powdrell said. “Why African Americans came to Santa Fe and northern New Mexico. What social constructs they found when they arrived. What types of social constructs they put in place to enhance their survival and collective identity. How did they interact with other ethnic groups in the area? What types of dynamics in schools and the job market might have mitigated against a stronger African American presence there.” \nMable Orndorff-Plunkett will moderate the discussion. Panelists include Ernestine (Tina) Lawrence\, great-granddaughter of William Slaughter\, who came to Santa Fe in 1884; poet and health activist Doris Fields; Gary Williams\, deputy director of the New Mexico Office of African American Affairs; and Jermaine LeDouix\, a 2011 graduate of Santa Fe High School. \nNew Mexico’s African American Legacy: Visible\, Vital\, Valuable is on display in the museum’s second-floor Gathering Space through Oct. 9. A second symposium\, “Entrepreneurship in the African American Community” will be held from 2-4 pm on Sunday\, Sept. 25. \n The exhibit joins three other summer exhibitions celebrating the unsung heroes of the West: \nHome Lands: How Women Made the West\, June 19-Sept. 11\, originally organized by the Autry National Center in Los Angeles\, features additional materials from the History Museum’s collections. The largest of the summer’s four exhibits\, it sweeps across the centuries in three regions: the Rio Arriba of northern New Mexico; Colorado’s Front Rage; and the Puget Sound. \nRanch Women of New Mexico\, April 15-Oct. 30 in the Mezzanine Gallery\, highlights 11 women in this excerpt from an exhibit originally prepared by photographer Ann Bromberg and writer Sharon Niederman. \nHeart of the Home\, May 27-Nov. 20 in La Ventana Gallery\, spotlights historic kitchen items from the History Museum’s collections.

It covers subjects as diverse as original families\, newcomers and descendants\, religion\, social organizations and more. \nThe 1850 U.S. Census lists 61\,525 Anglos and just 22 blacks in the New Mexico Territory. Near the end of the Civil War\, four black regiments–the famous Buffalo Soldiers–were sent to the area to protect settlers. Many returned to the south\, where they shared stories of the lands they had seen. \nThe advent of the railroad drew more black residents\, attracted by jobs in rail service and the hotels and restaurants that cropped up around train stations. Others brought their skills as farmers; some opened barber shops\, mechanics shops\, boarding houses and catering businesses. \nBy 1920\, 5\,733 African Americans lived in New Mexico. (The 2000 Census shows nearly 63\,000.) \nTold on a series of panels\, the exhibit focuses on migration\, families\, churches\, social organizations and entrepreneurs\, along with the struggles against segregation. Among the people it features: \nCedric and Merdest Billingsley Bradford\, longtime operators of the U-Tote-Em Grocery Stores in Las Cruces. Merdest returned to college after her children were grown and earned a sociology degree from NMSU. She helped develop and lead Planned Parenthood in Dona Ana County and was president of the state chapter of the NAACP in the 1970s. Cedric worked briefly for the WPA during the Depression. In 1967 he led a citizens' group to support public education. At the age of 60\, he earned his high school equivalency degree. \nElder Euland Greer migrated to Tampico\, Mexico\, as a boy\, with his parents and grandparents to escape oppression in the States. His family knew Gen. Pancho Villa and his army and\, at one point\, were suspected of harboring them in their home. They moved to New Mexico in 1913 after his grandmother and father disappeared. Along with his mother\, sister and brother-in-law\, Elder Greer helped establish God's House Church in Albuquerque. \nClara Belle Drisdale Williams became the first African American to graduate from New Mexico State University in 1937. After a career of teaching others\, she was honored with an honorary law degree from NMSU in 1980\, along with an apology for how she was treated as a student. (Three of her grandsons became physicians.) \nSuch successes were hard-won against the forces of prejudice. From 1870 to the 1950s\, Albuquerque had segregated hotels\, restaurants and movie theaters. Las Cruces schools were segregated. Even in Albuquerque's integrated schools\, social practices isolated African Americans. At graduation\, they were separately; their pictures were in the back sections of yearbooks; they were unwelcome at proms and so held their own parties.  \nBlack workers could only rise so far. African American men were generally relegated to jobs as porters\, janitors and cooks; women were limited to jobs as maids\, caretakers\, domestic cooks and caterers. \nThe Dona Ana County branch of the NAACP formed in the 1930s and was credited\, in part\, with the peaceful integration of Las Cruces schools in 1957. (Many people credited the smooth transition to the fact that Anglo\, Hispanic and African American children had always played together after school–a true-life example\, perhaps\, of how "a child shall lead them.") \nThe 1964 Accommodations Act brought integration to all of New Mexico. \nTo download high-resolution images from the exhibit\, click on "go to related images\," below. \nOther programming in conjunction with the exhibit: \n \n2-4 pm\, Sunday\, June 12: “The Journey of the African American North\,” symposium by the African American Museum and Cultural Center of New Mexico.

Kyce Bello and recently published by Sunstone Press\, will celebrate the book’s release and its namesake river in a reading on Friday\, May 6\, from 5:30 to 7 pm in the History Museum Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public. A booksigning will follow. \nConceived in response to the 2007 designation of the Santa Fe River as Most Endangered River in America\, The Return of the River offers an alternative narrative to the dominant story of the river’s ruin by celebrating it as the ecological\, historical\, and social heart of Santa Fe. The Return of the River includes the words of writers and poets\, historians\, artists\, and ecologists who eloquently and passionately express their hopes for a living river. Their words range from scholarly to deeply personal\, from practical to whimsical. The result is a convergence of landscape\, community\, and creativity that recognizes the interdependence of all three. In a time when the planet faces unparalleled threats\, The Return of the River is a testament to the belief that the most damaged places can be healed\, and that ordinary voices can be the agent of that change. \nAmong the contributing poets and writers reading at the May 6 event: Valerie Martinez\, Jack Loeffler\, Miriam Sagan\, Angelo Jaramillo\, Barbara Rockman\, Santa Fe Living Treasure Melinda Romero Pike\, and others. \n For interviews and event information\, contact Kyce Bello\, editor / (505) 474-7998 / akbello@hotmail.com \nFor review copies\, contact Carl Condit / (505) 988-4418 / orders@sunstonepress.com.

MacGregor and Halus will sign copies of their new book In Search of Dominguez & Escalante: Photographing the 1776 Spanish Expedition Through the Southwest\, published by the Museum of New Mexico Press. \nThis event\, sponsored by the Museum of New Mexico Press\, is free and open to the public. \nOn July 29\, 1776\, Franciscan friars Francisco Atanasio Dominguez and Silvestre Velez de Escalante began looking for an overland route from Santa Fe to the California coast. Although they didn't reach their final destination\, the expedition is widely regarded as one of the great explorations in western U.S. history for its documentation of the land and Native peoples in the Four Corners. \nThe group—including cartographer Don Bernardo Miera y Pacheco—circumnavigated 1\,800 miles of unchartered territory never before seen by Europeans\, an arduous five-month trip documented in Escalante’s journal.  \nMore than 200 years later\, Greg Mac Gregor and Siegfried Halus have created a remarkable visual record of the expedition. Using Escalante’s journal as their guide\, the photographers followed the expeditionary route\, circling through New Mexico\, Colorado\, Utah and Arizona\, and documenting the frontier as first witnessed by the Spanish explorers on horseback. \nQuoting widely from Escalante’s journal\, the authors present firsthand accounts of the expedition alongside their photographic narrative. Essays by the photographers discuss their methodology and experiences as modern-day explorers retracing the steps of the friars. In an accompanying essay\, Joseph P. Sánchez writes about the lasting legacy of the Spanish expeditions.  \nThe event's participants: \nGreg Mac Gregor and Siegfried Halus are renowned photographers and educators whose works have been exhibited internationally.  Mac Gregor\, professor emeritus of photography at California State University\, is the author of Overland: The California Emigrant Trail of 1841-1870 (UNM Press). Halus is former director of the art department of Santa Fe Community College and the author (with Marie Romero Cash) of Living Shrines: Home Altars of New Mexico (MNM Press).  \nRick Hendricks received his B. A. in history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his Ph.D. in Ibero American Studies at the University of New Mexico. He also attended the Universidad de Sevilla in Spain. He is a former editor of the Vargas Project at the University of New Mexico. Rick has been a historical consultant for Sandia\, Santa Ana\, and Picuris Pueblos in New Mexico and Ysleta del Sur in Texas. After the conclusion of the Vargas Project\, he worked in the Archives and Special Collections Department at New Mexico State University Library. At NMSU Rick also taught courses in colonial Latin America and Mexican history. He has written or collaborated on many books and articles on the Spanish colonial period in the American Southwest and Mexico. His most recent book\, New Mexico in 1801: The Priests Report\, was published in June 2008 by Rio Grande books. He edited the Southern New Mexico Historical Review\, a publication of the Doña Ana Historical Society\, for a decade. \nFrances Levine holds degrees in anthropology: a Ph.D. and M.A. from Southern Methodist University and a B.A. from the University of Colorado. She has published extensively on New Mexico history and archaeology and is the co-editor\, with Marta Weigle\, of Telling New Mexico: A New History (Museum of New Mexico Press\, 2009). Before becoming director of the Palace of the Governors\, the state’s oldest architectural treasure\, she taught New Mexico history and Pueblo and Hispanic ethno-history at Santa Fe Community College and was the Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs for Arts and Science. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/1041-in-search-of-dominguez-escalante-a-panel-discussion-and-booksigning/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/1041_thumb.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marlon Magdalena":MAILTO:marlon.magdalena GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110415T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110415T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175428Z CREATED:20110506T030132Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175428Z UID:10001965-1302861600-1302886800@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Ranch Women of New Mexico Exhibit opening DESCRIPTION:From Evelyn Fite Tune’s famously monogrammed cowboy boots to Fern Sawyer’s irrepressible spirit\, Ranch Women of New Mexico celebrates an icon of the American West\, from a female point of view. \nFeaturing 11 women who have “cowgirled” or owned ranches in New Mexico\, the exhibit represents selections from work by photographer Ann Bromberg and writer Sharon Niederman. \nThe photos will be on display in the Mezzanine Gallery\, joining the History Museum’s celebration of Women of the West this summer. The celebration’s main exhibit\, Home Lands: How Women Made the West will be on exhibit June 19-Sept. 11 in the second-floor Albert and Ethel Herzstein Changing Exhibitions Gallery. \nIn Bromberg’s black-and-white photographs for Ranch Women\, the often-underestimated role of women in the West comes to life. The photos reveal their dynamic contributions to the environment\, their multicultural families\, and their economic survival in a "boots on the ground" way of life. \nWomen featured include: \nEvelyn Fite Tune. Born in 1919 to Saskatchewan pioneers\, Evelyn grew up near Magdalena\, NM\, during the Depression. In the early days of her marriage spent ranching outside Socorro\, she had no running water or electricity. “I was a ranch wife. You do everything. If you have to move cattle\, you get up very early. That’s what all ranch wives do. It was hard\, a lot of hard work\, but it was good work.” Her philosophy of life was on a sign that hung above her doorway. “No Sniveling\,” it read. \nFern Sawyer. A women’s rodeo pioneer\, Fern was named National All-Around World Champion Cowgirl in 1938 at Madison Square Garden. Inducted into the Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame\, Cowgirl Hall of Fame and National Cutting Horse Hall of Fame\, she was as known for her glamor as her pipe smoking and cussing. Fern passed away in 1993\, in the saddle\, with her boots on. \nMary B. Davis. Manager of the horse breeding operation of the Crow Creek Division of the CS Ranch\, this daughter-in-law of legendary cowgirl Linda Davis grew up on a Waynesboro\, Ga.\, ranch. A member of the younger generation of ranch women\, she carries on the traditions of ranching life with her husband\, Warren Davis\, in New Mexico. \nDorothea Begay. A Navajo sheep rancher in Cañoncito\, Dorothea lived in a traditional world and carried a deep understanding of desert plants and animals. In 1996\, she told Niederman\, “We need to bring back our livestock. To learn to survive off that; to learn to work and farm. We must care for the community together.” \nFelicia Thal. Born in South Africa and raised in English boarding schools\, Felicia later moved across the U.S. to accommodate her husband’s surgery career.

They continue to be questions that we are still trying to answer today.  \nAt 2 pm on Sunday\, April 10\, Maggie Dwire\, assistant Mexican wolf recovery coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\, speaks on "Return of the Lobo: The Mexican Wolf Recovery Program\," in the History Museum Auditorium. Her lecture\, part of the Wild at Heart: Ernest Thompson Seton exhibit\, is free with admission. (Sundays free to NM residents and children 16 and under.) \nWild at Heart explores Seton's transformation from a hired wolf-killer to one of America's leading conservationists. The exhibit — made possible with the support of the Academy for the Love of Learning\, home of the Seton Legacy Project — closes May 8\, 2011. Within the exhibit area\, you'll hear the mournful call of the wolf\, a sound that is returning today to parts of New Mexico. \nFrom the Fish and Wildlife Service's web site (http://www.fws.gov/southwest/es/mexicanwolf/): \nMissing from the landscape for more than 30 years\, the howl of the Mexican gray wolf (Canis lupus baileyi)\, can once again be heard in the mountains of the southwestern United States. The Mexican wolf\, like many species protected by the Endangered Species Act\, is getting a second chance to play its role in nature through an ambitious recovery program led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. \nThe Mexican wolf once roamed throughout vast portions of Arizona\, New Mexico\, Texas\, and Mexico. But\, as human settlement intensified across the Southwest in the early 1900s\, wolves increasingly came into conflict with livestock operations and other human activities. Private\, state\, and federal extermination campaigns were raged against the wolf until\, by the 1970s\, the Mexican wolf had been all but eliminated from the United States and Mexico. \nIn 1976\, however\, a new era dawned for the Mexican wolf. The Mexican wolf\, a subspecies of gray wolf\, was listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. … It was now incumbent upon the Service\, one of two federal agencies responsible for administration of the Endangered Species Act\, to lead an effort to bring the Mexican wolf back from the brink of extinction in the United States. The question was\, “How?” \n Between 1977 and 1982\, recovery of the Mexican wolf was jump-started with a flurry of activity. First\, the United States and Mexico agreed to establish a bi-national captive breeding program with several wolves trapped in Mexico between 1977 and 1980. … \nOn March 29\, 1998\, captive-reared Mexican wolves were released to the wild for the first time in the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area (6\,800 square miles of territory stretching across east-central Arizona and west-central New Mexico\, including the Apache National Forest and Gila National Forest). Here\, 11 vanguards of the rarest and most unique subspecies of gray wolf in the United States began a historic journey – the journey of recovery. \n Reintroduction of a top predator such as the Mexican wolf is highly complex and often controversial. It is important to understand the role Mexican wolves are playing on the landscape\, including all of the potential biological\, social and economic impacts – be they good\, bad\, or indifferent…. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/994-return-of-the-lobo-the-mexican-wolf-recovery-program-a-lecture-on-efforts-to-restore-the-wolf-to-the-wild/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/994_thumb.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marlon Magdalena":MAILTO:marlon.magdalena GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110409T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110409T103000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175358Z CREATED:20110408T225543Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175358Z UID:10001833-1302339600-1302345000@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Urban Bird Hike with the Audubon Center A Wild at Heart event DESCRIPTION:Join birding experts from the Randall Davey Audubon Center for an urban bird hike in the "wilds" of downtown Santa Fe.

This Brainpower & Brownbags lecture is free and open to the public.  \nDworkin is a free-lance writer\, editor\, history educator\, and book critic who lives in Toronto. His special interest is in American Old West history\, as it relates to lawmen and crime. Wyatt Earp\, Doc Holliday\, the history of Tombstone\, Arizona\, and the 'Gunfight at the O. K. Corral. He is currently involved in several projects related to upgrade this area of history\, formerly dominated by popularizers and buffs\, and bringing it to a standard of professional history. \nIn 1926\, journalist-historian Burns' book The Saga of Billy the Kid ignited a fascination with the Old West outlaw that burns today.  Almost a morality tale for the end of the Old West\, Burns' book was\, despite meticulous research that included interviews with survivors of the Lincoln County War\, denounced by some of those same survivors. A myth\, however\, was born\, and the Billy the Kid legend lives today.

Begin with a reception April 1 at La Fonda on the Plaza\, where Colter’s designs still define an authentic Santa Fe experience. Add on a special\, sponsor-level dinner with free gifts in the Santa Fe Room\, which has remained "90 percent Colter" since its creation\, according to architect Barbara Felix\, who will talk at the dinner about what she learned of Colter during her own renovation of La Fonda. On April 2\, take part in a series of lectures\, a Harvey House dinner and discussion of Colter’s legacy. \nTickets start at $100 ($50 tax-deductible); $200 for the events plus the sponsor dinner ($100 tax-deductible).

Space is limited. \nDownload a high-resolution image of Colter and of La Fonda's South Portal by clicking on "go to related images" below. \nEleven of Colter’s buildings\, including ones she created at the Grand Canyon\, are on the National Registry of Historic Places; five are designated National Historic Landmarks. A maverick and a visionary\, she broke with European architectural tradition\, blending Mission Revival\, Spanish Colonial and Native American elements. She embraced the Arts & Crafts Movement’s simple but sophisticated designs and exquisite craftsmanship. She methodically researched indigenous art\, architecture and building techniques. As one writer observed: “She could teach masons how to lay adobe bricks\, plasterers how to mix washes\, and carpenters how to fix viga joints.”  \nIn 1910\, Colter was hired by the Fred Harvey Co. and the Atchison\, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. When Harvey took over the management of the recently built La Fonda in 1926\, Colter began her magical transformation of the hotel’s interior. \n“Mary Colter’s vision of the Southwest created a style that was simple and yet grand\,” said Dr. Frances Levine\, director of the New Mexico History Museum. “She left a magnificent legacy in regional architecture and interior design that we cherish today as much as in the past.”  \nSpeakers at the event: \n Arnold Berke\, award-winning author of Mary Colter: Architect of the Southwest (Princeton Architectural Press)\, will bring his meticulously researched book to life\, revealing Colter in the social and historical context of her time.  "By steeping her buildings in the culture\, history\, and landscape of the Southwest\," Berke said\, "Colter both charmed American travelers and taught them about the region she loved. Her pioneering works delighted the eye and engaged the mind." \nStephen Fried\, author of Appetite for America: How Visionary Businessman Fred Harvey Built a Railroad Hospitality Empire that Civilized the Wild West\, will  present the colorful Harvey House history of La Fonda on the Plaza. “The opportunity to spend a weekend exploring Mary Colter's contributions to life in the Southwest – as design guru for the Fred Harvey Company – will be a rare treat\,” Fried said. “I'm also looking forward to discussing the Harvey family women of that era who were vital supporters of Colter's pioneering work.” \nSanta Fe architect Barbara Felix\, who was instrumental in the 2009 renovation of La Plazuela\, La Fonda’s dining room\, on “Preserving the Architectural Fabric of a Santa Fe Icon.” “Colter’s work has inspired me to be passionate about craftsmanship\, the use of natural light\, regional materials and the transformation of the ordinary into the magical\,” Felix said. \nOn Saturday\, April 2\, La Fonda on the Plaza’s Executive Chef Lane Warner will prepare a special Harvey House-inspired dinner.  During dinner\, guests will be treated to an Actor’s Studio-style “Conversation about Mary” presented by Berke and Fried\, moderated by Levine. \n“This will be a wonderful weekend for anyone who has visited any of Mary Jane Colter’s extraordinary buildings or been fascinated by this profoundly talented woman who was so ahead of her time\,” says Jennifer Kimball\, chairman of the board of La Fonda on the Plaza. “We are so proud to be part of the Mary Jane Colter legacy and to share in the sponsorship of this vibrant weekend with the New Mexico History Museum.” \nA limited number of special room rate of $109 a night is available for out-of-town guests.

A World War II kamikaze plane attacks the USS New Mexico. The New Mexico History Museum and PBS station KNME-TV will premiere eight documentaries featuring such scenes from its Moments in Time series at 2 pm\, Sunday\, March 20\, in the History Museum Auditorium. \nThe event is free\, but seating is limited. Attendees will be eligible for prizes including DVDs\, CulturePasses\, Museum of New Mexico Foundation memberships and more.  \nThe Moments in Time special airs on KNME-TV\, Ch.5.1\, on Wednesday\, March 23\, at 7 pm. The eight stories will include the following: \n·         The Estancia Press                                                  \n·         Fashioning New Mexico: Victorian Secrets    \n·         New Mexico’s Rough Riders                   \n·         The Last Hurdle:  El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro   \n·         Tesoros de Devoción  (Santos & Santeros) \n·         Buffalo Soldiers in New Mexico                     \n·         In Her Own Voice – Doña Teresa Aguilera y Roche and Intrigue in the Palace of the Governors\, 1659-1662               \n·         USS New Mexico BB40: The Drinan Diary        \n“There’s something special about seeing these pieces on the auditorium’s big screen with an audience full of fellow history buffs\,” said Dr. Frances Levine\, director of the museum. “Injecting a level of cinematic drama into how we tell about our history is an important way of reaching people’s hearts and minds.” \nIn July 2009\, KNME and the History Museum won a $147\,000 grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services. The grant underwrites production of 15 documentaries for broadcast on KNME\, use inside the museum’s exhibits\, and placements on both the museum’s and KNME’s web sites. The IMLS is a federal grant-making agency that supports the nation’s 123\,000 libraries and 17\,500 museums. \n“KNME is proud to be collaborating with the New Mexico History Museum on a project which not only benefits visitors to the state and to the museum\, but also exposes uniquely New Mexican stories to communities throughout the state\,” said Polly Anderson\, KNME-TV general manager and CEO.  “KNME has a tradition of cultural and historical story-telling through its series COLORES!\, as well as individual specials. The stories in Moments of Time showcase the rich history of New Mexico.” \nKNME’s Michael Kamins\, an award-winning cinematographer\, producer and executive producer who has worked at KNME for more than 20 years\, has immersed himself in the state’s history\, not only for the IMLS documentaries\, but also for the variety of movies already showing in the museum’s main exhibition\, Telling New Mexico: Stories from Then and Now. Those include a history of the Santa Fe Trail projected onto the canvas of a covered wagon; Setting the Stage\, blending New Mexico landscapes with the words of noted authors; and pieces on Route 66\, hippies and Tierra Amarilla firebrand Reies Lopez Tijerina. \n“I am in awe of the History Museum and the staff\,” Kamins said. “It is a wonderful partnership. There are so many great stories in New Mexico’s history that need to be told. One of my favorites is about Doña Teresa Aguilera y Roche\, the wife of Santa Fe's colonial governor\, Don Bernardo López de Mendizábal. She was arrested by the Inquisition on the account of secretly being Jewish and jailed in Mexico City. It is fascinating to learn about the politics behind her arrest and how she later won her freedom.” \nSome of New Mexico’s top historians and performers contributed their talents to the Moments in Time productions\, including actor Dean Stockwell; flamenco artist Maria Benitez; famed New Mexico santero José Ramon Lopez; Dr. Estevan Rael-Gálvez\, director the National Hispanic Cultural Center; historian and author Paul Hutton; and Torrance County historian Morrow Hall. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/970-a-day-at-the-movies-free-premiere-of-knme-history-documentaries/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/970_thumb.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marlon Magdalena":MAILTO:marlon.magdalena GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
