The stories they sent back to Europe detailing the wealth and sophistication of the Aztec empire astonished their countrymen – and fed 300 years of efforts to write and re-write the story of the Mexican Conquest. \nFrom Oct. 1 through Jan. 23\, 2011\, the History Museum’s Triangle Gallery will present Imagining Mexico: From the Aztec Empire to Colonial New Spain\, an original exhibit featuring books\, prints and maps from the Fray Angélico Chávez History Library’s John Bourne Collection of Meso-Americana\, the Rare Books Collection\, and the Map Collection. Created mainly for people who would never cross the Atlantic but live their adventures vicariously\, the works formed perceptions – fictitious at times – of the land of Cortés\, Moctezuma\, amazing temples and important battles. \nAn opening reception will be held from 5:30-7 pm on Friday\, Oct. 1. The Museum of New Mexico Women’s Board will serve light refreshments in the museum lobby. \n“Beginning shortly after the fall of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan\, the story of the Conquest of Mexico has been told and retold countless times\, in both word and image\,” said Khristaan D. Villela\, scholar-in-residence at the museum and a curator of Imagining Mexico. “Each version built upon and elaborated those before\, resulting in a range of imaginations of the Conquest and ancient Mexico that are reflections\, and sometimes refractions.”  \nThe players in the conquest and European colonization of Mexico had direct ties to what would later be called New Mexico. Juan de Oñate married a woman who was Cortés’ granddaughter and the great-granddaughter of Moctezuma II\, the Aztec emperor. Cortés’ most steadfast allies\, the Tlaxcalans\, are reputed to have accompanied the first colonizers of New Mexico as mercenaries who settled near the San Miguel church in the Barrio of Analco. (In Nahuatl\, Analco means “near the water.”) \nNew Mexico’s history parallels Mexico’s in its cycles of conquest and colonization. Descendents of both Native peoples and colonizers continue to inhabit both places in large numbers\, and we do not agree on our history. The books\, prints\, and maps in this exhibition show that history is in flux\, and that one generation’s image of the Aztecs was\, in the next\, deemed inaccurate and fanciful. \nAmong the items on display: \nImages of the Aztec Templo Mayor. The main shrine in the capital of Tenochtitlan\, the Templo Mayor’s size and appearance was forgotten soon after the last battles of the conquest in 1521. Some of the images show it with twin staircases and shrines; others imagine a vast platform with staircases around its base – a veritable Tower of Babel. The variance between the images epitomizes the range of interpretations about the conquest and Pre-Columbian Mexico. \nEarly maps of New Spain. A 1769 map by Antonio Alzate of Mexico was one of the earliest to use the names Texas and California (though it shows the latter as an island). An 1803 map by Alexander von Humboldt of Germany shows the route of El Camino Real from Mexico City to Santa Fe. \nFour images from Lienzo de Tlaxcala. Originally painted on a large linen sheet in 1550\, the Lienzo tells the story of the conquest from the point of view of the Tlaxcalans\, native Mexicans whose alliance with Cortés was perhaps the deciding factor in his victory over Moctezuma II and the Aztec Empire. Besides the four images\, the complete Lienzo de Tlaxcala Codex will be presented digitally in the exhibit. \nThe first book about the Aztec Calendar Stone. Buried about 1550 by order of the Archbishop of Mexico\, the stone was rediscovered in 1790 in Mexico City. A proposal to turn it into a cathedral step to symbolize the triumph of Christianity over the pagan Aztecs was rejected after authorities became convinced it was an astronomical and mathematical device worthy of preservation. It was\, in fact\, a sacrificial altar commissioned by Moctezuma II\, and remains the best-known Native American artwork of the period. The exhibit also presents the first engraving of the sculpture\, made by a Mexican artist best-known for his images of the Virgin Mary and Catholic saints. \n“These are amazing books with even more amazing prints and fold-out maps hidden between their covers showing Spain’s – and by extension Europe’s – understanding of the new world\,” said Tomas Jaehn\, director of the Chávez History Library. \nBeyond their content\, the books themselves stand as impressive artifacts. \n“The books in this well-preserved collection\, some in their original bindings and some beautifully re-bound\, along with their fine marbled and handmade papers\, are beautiful examples book-making history\,” said Tom Leech\, curator of the Palace Press. \nPart of Imagining Mexico’s run coincides with another History Museum exhibit\, Threads of Memory: Spain and the United States\, featuring nearly 140 rare documents\, maps\, prints and paintings on loan from Spain from Oct. 17-Jan. 9\, 2011. Taken together\, the exhibits portray how European explorers and colonists interpreted what they found here. \nThe Triangle Gallery is on the mezzanine level of the museum\, next to the Auditorium.

After the event\, visitors can enjoy coffee and fruit-and-piñon cobbler\, with ingredients generously provided by New Mexico farmers and the state Department of Agriculture. \nThe event is free with museum admission; Sundays are free to New Mexico residents. \nPettit is a great-grandson of the Cowden family ranchers who founded the JAL Ranch in the late 1800s. Its legacy was detailed in his book Riding for the Brand: 150 Years of Cowden Ranching (University of Oklahoma Press\, 2006)\, which won a New Mexico Book Award for Best Southwest History. \nThe Cowden Cafe at the History Museum is named for Pettit’s family and carries archival photographs of the JAL Ranch. \nFrom 1883 to 1915\, the JAL Ranch (for which the southeastern town of Jal is named) was the open-range home to 40\,000 head of cattle and a part of New Mexico history that included the likes of Oliver Loving\, Charles Goodnight\, skirmishes with Comanches\, and tales of gutting out the pioneer life in dugouts and covered wagons. At its peak\, the JAL occupied much of what is now Lea County\, east and south into Texas. \n“These were family ranchers; they weren’t lonely cowboys\,” Pettit said. “Theirs is the story of generations of ranching\, where the women and the children were critical to its success. Much of the Cowden success was due to the fact that these were family ranches\, not corporate ranches.” \nStatehood played a role in the JAL’s eventual dissolution. After 1912\, new laws imposed a requirement that ranchers purchase the land they were using. After 60 years of open-range ranching\, Pettit said\, his forebears couldn’t cotton to that notion\, and in 1915\, the JAL was no more. \nThe ranching\, however\, continued\, helped along by forays family members made in the oil industry in the 1930s. Even today\, members of Pettit’s family ranch in the Santa Rosa area\, carrying on a fifth generation of the family tradition. \n“A lot of the photographs I’ve taken on the ranch look the same as the historical ranching\,” Pettit said. “A lot of things have changed\, but certain practices and principles remain the same.” \nGrowing up\, Pettit spent summers on the ranch\, sometimes lending his culinary “expertise” as the ranch cook. If visitors to the lecture are lucky\, he just might share the tale of offering trail-weary New Mexico cowboys his occasionally puzzling fare. (Gumbo\, anyone?) \nA high-resolution photo of Pettit and an archival image of the JAL Ranch can be downloaded at http://media.museumofnewmexico.org/mediabank.php?mode=events&action=files&instID=19&eventID=810.

Denetdale’s lecture falls on the final afternoon of the Santa Fe Indian Market of the Southwestern Association of Indian Arts\, a fitting time to slow down and consider that always-changing place where the ancient past meets the modern present. \nThe lecture completes the inaugural year of the Telling New Mexico Lecture Series. Tickets cost $10 at the Museum Shops or online at http://www.museumfoundation.org/tellingnm. \nTraditional Diné gender roles\, Denetdale says\, are rooted in creation stories\, which portray women as respected community members with considerable responsibilities. Women have always served as significant agents in the persistence of Diné life – social activities\, ceremonies\, economic endeavors and politics. \nBut these traditional roles were\, in many ways\, transformed by generations of encounters with\, first\, other tribal peoples\, then the Spanish\, Mexican and\, finally\, American people. Denetdale will focus on Diné gender roles after 1863\, when the Diné were militarily defeated by the U.S. Army and relocated to a reservation far from their traditional territory.  Under American assimilation policies\, every aspect of Navajo life came under American surveillance\, including government\, community\, family\, gender and sexuality.  \nHow have those roles shifted\, and where have they persisted? (It’s worth noting\, Denetdale says\, that already this year\, two women have joined the upcoming race for Navajo Nation president.) \nAn associate professor of American Studies at the University of New Mexico\, Denetdale is the author of Reclaiming Diné History: The Legacies of Chief Manuelito and Juanita (University of Arizona Press\, 2007)\, and a book for young adults\, The Long Walk: The Forced Navajo Exile (Chelsea House\, 2007). She is working on a history of Diné women and was a contributor to the award-winning book\, Telling New Mexico: A New History (Museum of New Mexico Press\, 2009)\, writing on “The Navajo-Diné Century of Progress\, 1868-1968\, and the Bosque Redondo Memorial.” \nThe Telling New Mexico Lecture Series supports the History Museum's core exhibition as well as the book Telling New Mexico: A New History (Museum of New Mexico Press\, 2009). \nThe full series of lectures: \nNov. 22: Tom Chavez\, former director of the Palace of the Governors and the National Hispanic Cultural Center\, on his current book project\, a history of the Palace of the Governors. \nJan. 31: Thomas Lark\, curator of Expo New Mexico’s African-American Performing Arts Center\, on the history of African-Americans in New Mexico; and the Rev. Landjur Abukusumo\, president of the Blackdom Memorial Foundation\, on the pioneers of the Blackdom community in Roswell.

Destined to be a resource for both classroom and armchair historians\, the book presents New Mexico history from its prehistoric beginnings to the present in essays and articles by fifty prominent historians and scholars representing various disciplines including history\, anthropology\, Native American and Chicano studies. The writing comprises an eclectic mix of styles and intention in presenting both a historical narrative and multiple views of the people\, places\, and events that have shaped New Mexico.

Their survival skills\, including trading with Native Americans (and sometimes evading them)\, built a foundation of knowledge for the settlers who followed on the Santa Fe Trail. Among the 1\,000 who roamed the West during the fur trade’s heyday were folks like Kit Carson and Jedediah Smith. \nThe tradition of the rendezvous started in 1825. A gathering to exchange pelts for supplies and reorganize trapping units evolved into a month-long carnival in the wilderness. According to one observer: "Mountain companies … make as crazy a set of men I ever saw." There were horse races\, running races\, card games\, checkers\, target shooting\, singing and gambling. Whiskey drinking\, not surprisingly\, accompanied it all. \nWhile the Museum’s trade fair won’t include alcohol\, this family-friendly event – free but for the opening morning’s preview – includes period music\, the display and sale of authentic and reproduced items\, and games and hands-on activities for children. Visit the touch table and “discovery box” for a true feel of the everyday items used by these pioneers – as well as a few slick\, furry and flat-out hair-raising ones. \nEnter for free through the Blue Gate\, just south of the History Museum’s entrance at 113 Lincoln Avenue.

This program provides the children an opportunity to learn from their parents and grandparents and to continue the cultural economic development supported by the Portal. \nAlong the south side of the Palace of The Governors\, sit Native American artists and craftspeople who sell their handmade goods to tourists and local Santa Feans almost every day of the year\, rain or shine. The 900+ vendors represent forty-one 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. How can you tell the difference between real handmade art and cheap knock-offs? Check out our Guide to Buying Native American Art.

The event is free and open to the public. \nIn 2008\, Taylor received a Guggenheim Fellowship for his ongoing examination of the U.S.–Mexico border. His investigation is organized around the documentation of a series of approximately 260 obelisks that mark the international boundary as it extends from El Paso/Juarez to San Diego/ Tijuana. These monuments—striking objects situated in impossibly gorgeous and difficult terrain—were installed between the years 1892 and 1895. \nThrough his work\, Taylor has earned remarkable access to U.S. Border Patrol facilities\, agents and routine operations. Patrol agents often refer to their job in the field as "line work" which is an apt description of Taylor's own time as he documented the obelisks. \nBeing on the "line" has given Taylor a unique view into overlapping issues of border security\, human and drug smuggling\, the continuing construction of the border fence and its impact on the land. This book captures the complexity of the terrain\, the politics\, and the human dynamics involved. His images are documentary in nature\, but also formally and visually compelling. \nTaylor will sign copies of the book and participate in a discussion with these panelists: \n Paul F. Wells\, a 30-year veteran of the United States Border Patrol  \n David J. Garcia\, a member of the Tohono O’Odham Nation (whos ancestral lands span the U.S./Mexico Border) and the Chukut Kuk District\, which fronts the international boundary  \n Hannah Frieser\, a photographer and book artist  whose essays are included in Working the Line \n Darius Himes\, acquiring editor at Radius Books\, a nonprofit publisher of books on photography and the visual arts he founded with three colleagues in 2007  \n David Chickey\, a founding member of Radius Books  \n Mary Anne Redding\, curator of photography at the New Mexico History Museum  \n \nTaylor earned an MFA from the University of Oregon and a BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University. His photographs\, multimedia installations\, and artist’s books have been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum\, Ridgefield\, Connecticut; 516 Arts\, Albuquerque\, New Mexico; the Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts at the University of Texas at El Paso; El Paso Museum of Art; SF Camerawork\, San Francisco; Society for Contemporary Photography\, Kansas City\, MO; and Northlight Gallery at Arizona State University\, Tempe. His work is in a number of permanent collections\, including Columbia College Museum of Contemporary Photography\, Chicago; Washington State Arts Commission\, Olympia; University of Washington\, Seattle; El Paso Museum of Art; Fidelity Investments\, Boston; the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; and the Palace of the Governors/New Mexico History Museum. Taylor has completed recent major commissions for artwork that is installed in the U.S. Border Patrol Station in Van Horn\, Texas and the United States Federal Courthouse in Las Cruces\, New Mexico. Taylor’s ongoing examination of the U.S. Mexico border was supported by a 2008 Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. \nCopies of his book with a 24-page accordion-fold booklet will be available at the event for $50. A signed\, limited-edition copy with a signed print in a folio will be $800. \n  \n  \n   \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/732-working-the-line-photography-and-controversy-on-the-border-photographer-david-taylor-booksigning-and-panel-discussion/ 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/2023/05/732_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:20100710T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20100710T130000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175356Z CREATED:20100701T233911Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175356Z UID:10001826-1278756000-1278766800@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Nature Journaling in the Seton Style A workshop for children DESCRIPTION:Noted artist Margy O’Brien leads one of two “Journaling in the Seton Style” workshops in the New Mexico History Museum classroom as part of the new exhibit\, Wild at Heart: Ernest Thompson Seton.

Entry is free via the Blue Gate south of the New Mexico History Museum’s main entrance at 113 Lincoln Avenue. \nGuest speakers: \nGarrick Beck on natural stones: 11 AM Saturday. \nBeck’s Santa Fe company\, Natural Stones\, specializes in genuine\, natural stones that are not dyed\, synthesized\, "stabilized" or "enhanced." \nDoug Magnus on the Cerrillos turquoise mines: 2 PM Saturday. \nMagnus\, a Santa Fe jewelry designer whose Santa Fe 400th line is available in the Spiegelberg Shop at the New Mexico History Museum\, has owned the six turquoise mines in Cerrillos\, N.M.\, since 1988. \nSandy Craig on the opals of Ethiopia: 1 PM Sunday. \nCraig’s Orca Gems and Opals of Littleton\, Colo.\, carries specimens\, rough\, rubs and cut stones from Nevada\, Mexico\, Honduras\, Ethiopia\, Lightning Ridge\, Lambina\, Mintabi\, Yowah and Koroit. \nThe Cerrillos mining district has seen activity since 600 A.D.\, first for Native peoples\, then Spanish colonists and\, around the turn of the last century\, Anglo miners\, including the American Turquoise Company. \nIn 1889\, George F. Kunz\, Tiffany & Co.’s renowned gemologist\, won an award in Paris for a collection that contained a sample of New Mexico turquoise. In 1892\, Kunz announced that certain colors of turquoise had come to be considered “gem quality” – namely\, the Tiffany Blue color. According to a New York newspaper: That is a turquoise far and away the finest in America\, and it came from these new mines in New Mexico. It is worth $4\,000. … (I)t is probable that gems to the value of $200\,000 a year may be obtained from this mine. Kunz recognized the possibilities of further branding the Tiffany Blue color by maintaining almost-exclusive rights to the turquoise he had made suddenly valuable. \nIn that same year\, James P. McNulty came to Cerrillos to mine turquoise\, eventually landing with the American Turquoise Company\, which owned the claims to a number of mines. The ATC sold almost all of its turquoise directly to Tiffany & Co.\, where designer Pauling Farnham (regarded by some as “Tiffany’s lost genius”) crafted some $2 million worth of it into jewelry. \nToday\, the mines are likely played out\, said Magnus\, who was able to obtain several specimens of the raw ore “that had been hoarded for 80 or 100 years by the man that did all the mining for the American Turquoise Company.”  \nDespite the difficulty of obtaining specimens\, Magnus said\, turquoise seems to be enjoying new verve. “I’ve been working with it since 1972\, and I’ve watched it become the single most popular semi-precious gemstone in the realm of semi-precious gemstones. And that’s worldwide.” \nThe Gem & Mineral Show\, in conjunction with the Palace of the Governors Native American Artisan Program\, allows gem and mineral dealers and Native American artisans to tell their unique stories about the historical relationships that have existed between Native silversmiths and jewelers\, miners\, and gem and mineral traders.  \nExhibitors will include: Garrick Beck; Orca Gems and Opals; Roadrunner Mining and Minerals; Bright Star Gemstones; and Will Steerman. \nCome to look\, come to touch\, come to buy\, but most important\, come to learn more about the historic interplay between miners\, mineral traders and the artisans who bring life to these fruits of the earth. \nFor info or booth rentals contact David Rogers at 505-476-5157\, or David.rogers@state.nm.us \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/721-palace-gem-and-mineral-show-learn-about-the-tiffany-turquoise-mines/ 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/2023/05/721_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:20100528T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20100531T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175403Z CREATED:20100526T233243Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175403Z UID:10001851-1275040800-1275325200@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Memorial Day weekend schedule DESCRIPTION:The New Mexico History Museum will observe these openings and closings on Memorial Day weekend: \nFriday\, May 28: Closed.

Pagel will present new ideas in science and technology in the telling of a story. The event is in the New Mexico History Museum Auditorium. Seating is free\, first come\, first served. The event is sponsored by Milagro at Los Luceros. \n“For the filmmaker\, ‘story’ describes a sequence of actions and experiences by an individual confronting change as a way to reveal hidden aspects of a situation and the people involved\, each change engendering a new predicament. The response to each new situation creates the story and leads the story towards its conclusion\,” said Dr. Pagel. “For the scientist\, ‘story’ is our way of organizing experiential data into a special pattern that represents and explains our experience. Using the perspectives of both film and science\, we connect such previously unconnected disciplines in developing our stories. It’s truly eye-opening.” \nThe cross pollination of thought and idea from various medias and disciplines serves the Milagro mission to open up new job potentials for New Mexico storytellers from both within and outside the arts.  \nMilagro is a partnership of the Department of Cultural Affairs\, the State Film Office and Robert Redford\, with an emphasis on building film careers among Native American and Hispanic filmmakers. DCA purchased and operates the 148-acre Los Luceros property along the Rio Grande and is preserving its historic nature and integrity for the urpose of cultural\, artistic\, environmental and educational activities\, events and outreach.

(For more on the exhibit\, go to www.nmhistorymuseum.org/tesoros/.)  \nAs the exhibit reveals\, the santero’s art was founded on a broad tradition of Christian imagery\, but molded into a unique regional vernacular in the then-isolated Spanish colonies of New Mexico. Today\, the santos they created hold many stories – about small bands of settlers surviving in a distant land while developing a culture that has survived hundreds of years in mountain villages and acequia communities. About the colonial exploits of Europe and the cultures that both clashed and blended. About the flags that have flown over this land (Spain\, Mexico and the United States) and how those political changes affected families and communities. \nAt heart\, santos were a way to feel the divine presence through prayer and meditation and for asking a saint’s intercession. In a broader context\, they serve as windows into a culture and history as remote to us today as they were from Spain and Mexico City in the 18th and 19th centuries. \nAll of the lectures take place in the History Museum Auditorium.

Enter through the Washington Avenue doors for this event\, part of the Santa Fe 400th lecture series. \nWhether Santa Fe was in fact established in 1610 or earlier is a fine point to be argued by purists\, Sánchez says. Regardless of the date\, Gov. Peralta oversaw the early history of Santa Fe – and set in motion a struggle for power between successive governors and church officials. \n“In that context\,” Sánchez says\, “was Peralta a scoundrel\, as churchmen made him out to be? Or was he a man of his convictions who would unjustly be excommunicated from Santa Fe’s Catholic congregation\, arrested for the accidental shooting of a Franciscan missionary\, sent in shackles to a jail at Santo Domingo Pueblo\, condemned by his successor\, and exiled from New Mexico?” \nIn the end\, Peralta was exonerated by officials in Mexico City\, but 400 years later\, scholars still discuss the history that unfolded because of what he did – or didn’t – do. \nThe Santa Fe 400th lecture series builds on Santa Fe Found: Fragments of Time\, an exhibition at the Palace of the Governors that explores the first 100 years of Santa Fe following its colonization. \nSánchez is director of the University of New Mexico’s Spanish Colonial Research Center and superintendent of the Petroglyph National Monument. Throughout his career\, he has researched archives in Spain\, Mexico\, France\, Italy and England and has published several studies on the Spanish frontiers in California\, Arizona\, New Mexico\, Texas\, and Alaska. Internationally recognized\, in May 2000\, he was awarded the Medalla de Acero al Mérito Histórico Capitán Alonso de León by the Sociedad Nuevoleonesa de Historia\, Geografía y Estadística\, Monterrey\, Mexico\, for his lifelong work in Colonial Mexican history. In April 2005\, he was inducted into the prestigious knighthood order of the Orden de Isabel la Católica by King don Juan Carlos of Spain. \nFunding for the Santa Fe Found exhibition and lecture series comes from the Palace Guard\, a support group of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation; the Gala Opening Committee; Friends of Archaeology\, a support group of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation; the Santa Fe 400th; and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/504-peralta-and-the-founding-of-santa-fe-a-santa-fe-400th-anniversary-lecture/ 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/2023/05/504_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:20100502T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20100502T153000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175338Z CREATED:20100421T220843Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175338Z UID:10001734-1272808800-1272814200@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:New Mexico’s Civilian Conservation Corps Experience The Telling New Mexico Inaugural Lecture Series DESCRIPTION:Noted author and historian Richard Melzer will speak on the “The Civilian Conservation Corps Experience in New Mexico\,” the next talk in the Telling New Mexico Inaugural Lecture Series\, at 2 p.m.\, Sunday\, May 2\, in the History Museum Auditorium. The event costs $10. Tickets are available at the museum shops and at www.museumfoundation.org/tellingnm. \nNote: This event was originally scheduled for a lecture on World War II by Ferenc Szasz\, who has since encountered a health issue. Richard Melzer has graciously agreed to speak in his place. \nThe Civilian Conservation Corps was the most popular and successful program of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal during the Great Depression of the 1930s. For more than 3 million young men across the United States\, the CCC often made the difference between starvation and survival – not only for the enrollees\, but also their families back home. The men learned skills\, improved their education\, got healthy\, prepared themselves for service in World War II\, and\, most importantly\, came of age during hard economic times. Melzer has documented the CCC experience in New Mexico\, describing how this highly effective program benefited more than 50\,000 enrollees in the state and became\, for most men\, the turning points in their lives. \nToday\, their legacies still stand in projects at Elephant Butte Lake\, Rattlesnake Springs near Carlsbad Caverns\, and Bandelier National Monument. \nMelzer\, originally from Teddy Roosevelt's hometown of Oyster Bay\, N.Y.\, has lived in New Mexico since 1973 and has taught history at the University of New Mexico's Valencia Campus since 1979. He is the author of more than 100 articles about New Mexico history and the author\, co-author\, or editor of 12 books\, including Coming of Age in the Great Depression: The Civilian Conservation Corps Experience in New Mexico\, 1933-1942 (Las Cruces: Yucca Tree Press\, 2000). Melzer is a past president the Historical Society of New Mexico and current president of the Valencia County Historical Society. \nAmong the many honors he has received for writing\, teaching and service to his profession\, he is most proud of receiving the UNM’s 1995 Teacher of the Year award. \nThe History Museum includes exhibits dedicated to the Depression and the “alphabet soup” of programs that built roads and schoolhouses and nurtured a generation of artists\, writers and musicians. \nThe lecture series continues on Sunday\, Aug. 22\, when Jennifer Nez Denetdale\, Northern Arizona University associate history professor\, speaks on "Dine'/Navajo Women: At the Intersection of Nation\, Gender\, and Tradition." \n  \n  \n   \n  \n \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/546-new-mexicos-civilian-conservation-corps-experience-the-telling-new-mexico-inaugural-lecture-series/ 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/2023/05/546_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:20100417T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20100417T153000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175336Z CREATED:20100406T023120Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175336Z UID:10001724-1271512800-1271518200@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:The Journey of Mayolica Pottery A Santa Fe Found lecture DESCRIPTION:Learn about the risky “Journey of Mayólica” pottery up El Camino Real to Santa Fe in a lecture by Robin Farwell Gavin at 2 pm Saturday\, April 17\, in the New Mexico History Museum Auditorium. The event is free with museum admission. \nThe lecture is part of the Santa Fe Found lecture series that supports Santa Fe Found: Fragments of Time\, an exhibit at the Palace of the Governors exploring the roots of Santa Fe\, this year celebrating its 400th anniversary. The exhibit uses historic documents\, period paintings and archaeological artifacts to detail life in colonial Mexico and Spain’s far northern frontier. It includes sherds of blue-and-white mayólica pottery that once made up objects like an ink well\, also on display. From its origins in medieval Spain\, it endured first an ocean journey then an overland caravan to Santa Fe. \nBesides tracing that journey\, Gavin will look at the materials\, techniques and styles of mayólica\, as well as artists who still produce such work. Various styles of pottery from France\, Italy\, England and China influenced one another as well as the design and production of Pueblo pottery. \n“Through one single sherd\,” Gavin said\, “we can explore the colonial world – the lives of the potters who made them\, the places in which they were created\, their uses in churches\, conventos and homes\, the importance they lent to social occasions. \n“We can see the influence of Muslim art\, of Italian Renaissance art\, of Chinese porcelains brought to the Americas on the Manila galleons\, and of the French rococo style\, as well as Indian chintz fabrics and Staffordshire pottery. We can reconstruct the table settings of the 18th century from Spain to Mexico to New Mexico\, and we can imagine the social situations in which these vessels were a symbol as well as a necessity.” \nGavin is chief curator for the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and consulting curator of collections for El Rancho de las Golondrinas.  A Chicago native\, she has been the lead curator for more than 20 exhibitions at the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and Museum of International Folk Art concerning the Spanish colonial arts of Mexico and New Mexico\, and has written several articles\, gallery guides\, and books on the subject. \nThe next lecture supporting the Santa Fe Found exhibition will be at 6 pm\, May 13\, when Joseph Sánchez\, director of UNM’s Spanish Colonial Research Center and director of the Petroglyph National Monument\, speaks on “Peralta and the Founding of Santa Fe. \nFunding for the Santa Fe Found exhibition and lecture series was made possible by the Palace Guard\, a support group of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation; the Gala Opening Committee; Friends of Archaeology\, a support group of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation; the Santa Fe 400th; and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/536-the-journey-of-mayolica-pottery-a-santa-fe-found-lecture/ 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/2023/05/536_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:20100411T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20100411T200000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175344Z CREATED:20100410T052129Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175344Z UID:10001763-1271001600-1271016000@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:A Fred Harvey Dinner Party Lecture\, book launch and Harvey House dinner DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT \nThe New Mexico History Museum and La Fonda Hotel\, a former Harvey House\, host the launch of award-winning journalist Stephen Fried’s book\, Appetite for America\, with a lecture and historic dinner  on Sunday\, April 11\, 2010. The event begins in the History Museum Auditorium with a 4 p.m. lecture by Fried\, followed by a 6 p.m. dinner at La Fonda\, which will whip up “Chicken Lucrecio\,” among other delicacies from Harvey menus. \n \nSeating is limited for both events. Tickets include a signed copy of Appetite for America (Bantam/Random House\, 2010). The cost for the lecture is $50; the lecture with the dinner costs $95. Sponsorship tickets cost $200 and include preference seating at the lecture and dinner\, as well as a listing on the event poster. A limited number of a reduced-cost rooms at La Fonda are also available the evening of the event. \nTo purchase tickets to the event\, go to either of the History Museum’s shops\, call (505) 982-9543\, or log onto https://www.museumfoundation.org/HarveyHouse. \nFor La Fonda’s room reservations\, call (800) 523-5002\, ext. 1\, or send an e-mail to www.lafondasantafe.com/email-group.html; mention the “Harvey/NM History Museum event” in the subject line. \nAppetite for America is the story of Fred Harvey\, who came to the United States from England in the 1850s as a penniless teenager\, worked for saloons and the railroads and\, at the age of 40\, had a brilliant idea that changed America. His trackside eatery in Topeka\, Kansas\, grew into a powerful family business that forever changed the way Americans eat\, drink\, sleep\, travel and spend leisure time. \n  \n \nFred Harvey ended up building a revolutionary company feeding train passengers along the upstart Santa Fe railroad. With his son\, he expanded into the first national chain of restaurants\, hotels and bookstores from Chicago to California – even into the Grand Canyon. His beloved “Harvey Girls” were some of the first working women in America\, later inspiring an Oscar-winning movie starring Judy Garland. His firm introduced the country to Native American arts and culture and “Santa Fe Style.” \nStephen Fried brings a fresh eye to America’s expansion into the Wild West of Bat Masterson and Billy the Kid\, following the country and the company as they grew up together through the early days of trains\, autos and planes. The restaurant/hotels that Harvey and his equally brilliant son\, Ford\, built would be enjoyed by princes and presidents\, as well as countless ordinary travelers who simply wanted a travel experience grand enough to match the scenery. \nIn 1881\, Fred Harvey began arranging for tourists to visit Santa Fe from his eating house at the depot in Lamy. In the late 1890s\, his company began displaying and selling Native arts and crafts\, starting with its restaurant in Gallup\, but most visibly in Albuquerque’s Alvarado Hotel\, built in 1902. The hotel’s sales area\, designed by a young architect named Mary Colter\, had a look that came to be known as “Santa Fe Style.” Colter worked with famed architect John Gaw Meem on expanding La Fonda from 1924-30 and\, in 1949\, designed the hotel’s lounge\, using Spanish and Indian designs. \nIn 1915\, Harvey worked with the Santa Fe community\, including Museum of New Mexico founder Edgar Hewett and his protégé\, Jesse Nusbaum\, to create a 10-acre\, full-scale Pueblo for the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. Among those who lived at the exhibit was a young Maria Martinez\, who would later gain fame for her San Ildefonso pottery. \nHistoric documents show that an inn\, or fonda\, has long stood on the southeastern corner of the Santa Fe Plaza. During the 19th century\, La Fonda became the preferred destination of trappers\, soldiers\, gold seekers\, gamblers and politicians. Through the Civil War\, railroad expansion and New Mexico statehood in 1912\, the old adobe structure changed hands and names several times but remained a Santa Fe landmark. The Harvey company purchased it 1926. Debuting in 1929\, it offered the nation’s first version of cultural tourism: “Indian Detours” that carried tourists to nearby pueblos in touring vehicles. An exhibit on the History Museum’s mezzanine level pays homage to the Harvey era. \nBusinessman Sam Ballen purchased La Fonda in 1968; his family has continued his legacy of combining historic preservation with modern amenities. \nFried’s insights into the Harvey empire include how the company managed to foster an early “foodie” generation in some of the most remote locales; how Harvey’s granddaughter saw and nurtured the talents of a 9-year-old Hopi named Fred Kabotie\, who became a premier Native artist; how pre-publication orders for his newsstands and bookshops affected national bestseller lists. \n For more on Fred Harvey’s impact on New Mexico and the American West\, go to http://media.museumofnewmexico.org/press_releases.php?action=detail&releaseID=71.

"My Penitente Land\," a free\, public event\, takes place from 10 am to 4:30 pm on Saturday\, April 10\, in the museum auditorium (enter from Washington Avenue). \nThe symposium will gather the general public and scholars to exchange thoughts on Fray Angélico’s influence on New Mexico and share their stories about him. \n“Fray Angélico’s love was New Mexico\, its history and culture\,” said Tomas Jaehn\, director of the Fray Angélico Chávez History Library. “Interested in the people who settled New Mexico\, he is well-know for his work in genealogy.  At least once a month\, a patron visiting the Library tells me\, `I knew Fray Angélico personally.’” \nSpeakers at the symposium will include Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan\, poet Jimmy Santiago Baca\, authors Nasario Garcia\, Ellen McCracken\, whose biography of Fray Angélico was just published by the University of New Mexcio Press\, and Thomas Chávez\, former director of the Palace of the Governors and a nephew of Fray Angélico  (See the full schedule below.) \nBorn Manuel Ezequiel Chávez in Wagon Mound\, N.M.\, Fray Angélico was a noted priest\, writer\, painter and historian. Ordained as a Franciscan friar\, he served several parishes in New Mexico and was instrumental in renovating the church in Peña Blanca – a true hands-on effort. The murals he painted of the Stations of the Cross used images of himself\, his family and parishioners. He also renovated churches in Domingo Station\, Golden and Cerrillos. \nAs an Army chaplain\, he was present for the World War II beach landings at Guam and Leyte and\, during the Korean War\, was stationed at Fort Bliss\, Texas\, and Kaiserslautern\, Germany. \nUpon his return\, Chávez was appointed archivist of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe\, where he catalogued and translated the Church’s Spanish archives. As noted in a biography on the Web site of the New Mexico Office of the State Historian: \n"While digging for the golden nuggets of Franciscan history in the archdiocesan archives\, he instead came across baptismal\, marriage\, and death records that revealed much about the families who had settled the region. He wrote: “It was like the case of a miner who sifted a hill of ore for gold\, setting aside any silver he encountered; in the end the silver far outweighed the gold. The only thing to do was to render the silver useful.” He compiled the silver and published the Origins of New Mexico Families: A Genealogy of the Spanish Colonial Period in 1954. Genealogists searching for their familial roots have found the book invaluable." \nChávez is perhaps best known for writing La Conquistadora\, the Autobiography of an Ancient Statue about the figure of the Virgin Mary revered by parishioners of St. Francis Cathedral in Santa Fe. He also wrote short stories\, novels and poetry. T.S. Eliot called his poem\, The Virgin of Port Lligat in 1959 a “very commendable achievement.” \nAfter his death in 1996\, the History Library was named in his honor\, and a bronze statue of him graces its entrance. A self-portrait is on display in the Palace of the Governors’ Portrait Gallery\, and it carries an interesting tale. Painted in 1939 as an “idle sketch” on a board by Fray Angélico in 1939\, it was later trimmed down to repair a drawer in the convent at Peña Blanca. \nIn 1970\, someone cleaning out the drawers happened upon it. Fray Angélico donated it to the museum\, writing: “I thought you might display it more as a curiosity than a work of art.” \nA finely rendered sketch of the young friar\, the portrait is\, contrary to his recommendation\, displayed as a work of art. \nThe symposium schedule: \n10-10:25 am: Frances Levine\, director of the New Mexico History Museum; Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan\, Archdiocese of Santa Fe \n10:30-10:40: Jimmy Santiago Baca\, poet \n10:40-10:55: Fabian Chávez\, former legislative leader\, longtime public servant and brother of Fray Angélico \n11-11:30: Nasario Garcia\, professor emeritus of Hispanic Languages and Literatures \n11:35-12:05: Thomas E.
