Join past and present recipients of the "treasures" honor\, celebrating its 25th anniversary. \nThe much-anticipated second book of Santa Fe Living Treasures will debut at a book-signing on Sunday\, Aug. 16\, 2-4pm in the courtyard of the Palace of the Governors. Santa Fe Living Treasures — Our Elders\, Our Hearts\, Vol. II\, 1994-2008 contains portraits and profiles of Treasures by author Richard McCord and photographer Steve Northup. \nThe first book\, Living Treasures — Celebration of the Human Spirit\, published  in 1997\, portrayed the Treasures honored from 1984-94. A large number of Treasures will be present at this free event\, which is open to the public. \nThe host is the Living Treasures Committee and the Museum of New Mexico. \nThis year marks the 25th anniversary for Living Treasures\, a nonprofit founded in 1984 by peace activist\, teacher\, author and minister Mary Lou Cook\, who became a Treasure herself in 1988. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's dictum\, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world\," the group sought to express prominent appreciation for remarkable contributions made by elders aged 70 or more. Modeled on traditions from Japan\, the Santa Fe Living Treasures program was the first in the nation; other cities and towns have since followed suit. \nThe program has been featured on television\, radio and in publications and has served as an inspiration for what individuals can accomplish with courage\, passion\, sensitivity optimism\, dedication\, wisdom and love. \nTwice a year\, Santa Fe Living Treasures honors three treasures whose oral histories and photographs are recorded\, archived and made available to the public at the Fray Angelico Chavez History Library. \nSays noted author John Nichols: “This book is as beautiful as the people\, and the state\, that it celebrates.  The photographs and the writing bear witness to a great love that all New Mexicans share: for our culture\, for our history\, and the landscape that cradles us in its arms.  These Living Treasures have nurtured that love and are passing it on to the next generation.  Profound thanks are due all of them.”  \n  \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/487-santa-fe-living-treasures-book-signing-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/2023/05/487_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:20090726T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20090726T160000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175325Z CREATED:20090724T030100Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175325Z UID:10001669-1248616800-1248624000@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Juggling Identities: Identity and Authenticity Among the Crypto-Jews Lecture and booksigning DESCRIPTION:Seth D. Kunin\, Vice Chancellor and Head of Faculty for Britain's Durham University\, will speak on his new book\, Juggling Identities: Identity and Authenticity Among the Crypto-Jews in the New Mexico History Museum Auditorium. For the past 13 years\, Dr. Kunin has done ethnographic research among the crypto-Jews of New Mexico. He has published a number of books on aspects of biblical and Jewish culture from an anthropological and structuralist perspective and has written about the development of theories of religion in such works as Themes and Issues in Judaism and Religion: The Modern Theories. \nCritiquing scholars who challenge the authenticity of these individuals\, Seth D. Kunin builds a solid link between the crypto-Jews of New Mexico and their Spanish ancestors\, offering the strongest evidence yet of their ethnic and religious origins. \n \nKunin adopts a unique approach to the lives of modern crypto-Jews\, concentrating primarily on their understanding of Jewish tradition and the meaning they ascribe to ritual. He illuminates the complexity of this community\, in which individuals and groups perform the same practice in diverse ways. Kunin supplements his ethnographic research with broader theories concerning the nature of identity and memory\, which is especially applicable to crypto-Jews\, whose culture resides mainly in memory. Kunin's work has wider implications\, not only for other forms of crypto-Judaism (such as those found in the former Soviet Union) but also for the study of Judaism's fluid nature\, which helps adherents adapt to new circumstance and knowledge. Finally\, Kunin compares crypto-Judaism's intricate ancestry with that of other ethnic communities living in the United States. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/424-juggling-identities-identity-and-authenticity-among-the-crypto-jews-lecture-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/2023/05/424_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:20090719T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20090719T160000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175325Z CREATED:20090424T000204Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175325Z UID:10001670-1248012000-1248019200@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:A History of the Ancient Southwest Lecture and booksigning DESCRIPTION:Dr. Stephen Lekson\, a curator and associate professor of anthropology at the University of Colorado\, received his doctorate in anthropology from the University of New Mexico. He has more than 25 years of experience in Southwestern archaeology\, with field research in Chaco Canyon\, the Mesa Verde region\, the Rio Grande\, the Mimbres area\, and the Hohokam region of southern Arizona. He has worked for the National Park Service\, Arizona State Museum and the Museum of New Mexico. \nFrom 1992-95\, he was president of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center. Dr. Lekson's books include Intrigue of the Past: Discovering Archaeology in New Mexico; Chaco Canyon: A Center and Its World; and Great Pueblo Architecture of Chaco Canyon\, New Mexico.  He has been an invited speaker at many conferences and public lectures\, including the Smithosnian Institution\, the Archaeological Institute of AMerica\, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Arts. He has been a featured speaker on several radio and television specials\, including National Public Radio\, the Discovery Channel and the History Channel. \nIn his 1999 book\, The Chaco Meridian: Centers of Power in the Ancient Southwest\, Dr. Lekson argued that Anasazi prehistory begins at Chaco Canyon\, where a small group of people resided beginning around 900 AD. By 1100 AD or so\, Chaco had become a ceremonial center\, the like of which had not so far been seen in the American southwest. But something happened\, and in 1125\, building stopped at Chaco. Construction at Aztec Ruin\, located north of Chaco Canyon\, began in the Chacoan style around 1110\, and continued until around 1275. The earliest dates for Paquime\, or Casas Grandes\, a center larger than Chaco but far to the south in Mexico\, are 1250 to 1300 and they extend to around 1500 AD. And all three are aligned on approximately the same longitude; 107 degrees\, 57 minutes and 25 seconds. Lekson argues that this is no coincidence\, that the elite families of all three sites were related\, and that the alignment was an intentional and meaningful one. \nBut the argument isn't\, of course\, that simple\, and in fact Lekson documents similarities–and differences–between ceramic styles and building styles and the presence of exotic materials such as macaws\, gulf coast shells and copper bells. Interestingly\, Lekson interweaves information from Native American origin myths\, reminiscent of the work of anthropologist Robert Hall. \nHis findings reveal a “livelier” Southwest than that which we have become accustom to hearing. Dr. Lekson brings new insight to how “a pervasive Southwestern Mystique . . . has glossed over ancient (and modern) realities.” It is a new telling of an old story.

They illustrate the vibrant culture of rural northern New Mexico and its inhabitants with a cast of common characters\, above all women\, whose compassion\, willfulness\, humor\, observation\, and spirit reflect the rich heritage of the environment that inspired their creation. \nSome of García's characters proclaim their own goodness and live on to enjoy that righteousness; others fall victim to the shortcomings of human nature. Regardless\, laughter\, empathy\, and introspection are the common threads that connect these wonderful stories to one another. \nGarcía originally wrote these tales in his native tongue\, Spanish\, and later translated them into English. Both versions appear here with a bilingual glossary that places regional terms and local idioms side-by-side for those unfamiliar with northern New Mexico Spanish. \nGarcía is a folklorist and native New Mexican. He has published 10 books on Hispanic folklore and the oral history of Northern New Mexico and for three decades has dedicated his time to the preservation of New Mexico’s Hispanic culture and language. García is a popular lecturer and reader. A doctor of nineteenth-century Spanish literature\, García formerly taught at New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas. García lives in Santa Fe.

Moreover\, the tanned and smoothed hides carry the very faces of men whose descendants live in New Mexico today. Perhaps both paintings illustrate military expeditions dispatched from the Palace of the Governors\, when it was called las casas reales\, the royal houses. \nThe hides are on display in the Palace of the Governors; a computer interactive offering more detailed information about the sections is next door at the New Mexico History Museum (on the same campus) and can also be found online here. \nHow they came to be at the Palace of the Governors is a tale as circuitous as it was fortuitous. The hides found their way back to the Southwest—and eventually to the Palace—more than 200 years after Philipp von Segesser von Brunegg\, a Jesuit priest\, sent them to his family in Switzerland in 1758. It is believed that he acquired them in Sonora\, Mexico\, between 1732 and 1758\, from the Anzas\, a family that was prominent in military and civil affairs in both New Mexico and the Sonoran village where Father Segesser’s mission was situated. \nThe existence of the hide paintings had long had been known\, but their availability came to light in 1983 when another museum wanted to borrow them\, only to discover that the von Segesser who then owned them wanted to sell rather than lend. Enter the interest of the Palace of the Governors\, which purchased in 1988 the hide paintings designated Segesser I and Segesser II. \nSegesser I and II were painted on hides\, likely bison\, that had been tanned to make them supple\, pumiced so that the grain was no longer visible\, and sewn together to form a large canvas. The hides do not exhibit any distinctive ground or gesso layer under the paint. \nSome scholars believe that the Segesser Hide Paintings were created in New Mexico\, where imported canvas was rare and processed hides were used for a variety of purposes\, including paintings on hide\, or reposteros\, that were exported to Mexico. There is documentary evidence that hides were painted in workshops in Santa Fe. Because the Segesser renderings include several distinct styles\, some scholars suggest that as many as three artists painted specific elements of the overall rendering. We believe that the artists were indigenous New Mexicans with tribal affiliation who had the benefit of eyewitness descriptions and were taught European painting techniques. Yet the Segesser paintings were not rendered in a traditional European style typical of military paintings of that era; rather they are more characteristic of indigenous or folk-art paintings. \nThe late 17th and early 18th centuries were the final great period of European battle tapestries. Such textiles\, imported to the Americas\, might have influenced the commissioned Segesser hides. The hides contain wide\, broadly painted flower and leaf borders that simulate carved or gilded frames\, which also was typical of European tapestries from the same era. \n \nSegesser I \nThis set of hides represents an encounter between rival tribesmen\, the attacking side possibly accompanied by a Spanish leader. Scholars agree that the painting’s features\, including hills\, cliffs\, deciduous trees\, bison\, deer and pumas\, indicate that this encounter took place over varied terrain. \nWho took part in the conflict and where and when it occurred remains the subject of scholarly debate. Basing their theories on historical records and the painting’s account of the event\, some scholars suggest that Segesser I portrays one or more Spanish officers with Indian allies—possibly the Manso\, Opata\, Tlascalan\, Tarascan\, Pima and a faction of the Suma—who are attacking rival Sumas or Apaches\, in the El Paso\, Texas region. \nOthers say that the painters were unfamiliar with both the encounter and the cultures involved\, and so substituted familiar individuals\, animals and terrain in a painting that actually portrays Pueblo Indian auxiliaries attacking Plains Apache Indians. Such fighting took place in any one of a half-dozen expeditions launched between 1693 and 1719 from the Palace to the eastern plains to discourage raids by tribal factions. \nBecause the encounter has not been pinpointed\, it is not known if the individuals behind the wooden palisade are members of the defending tribe or captive slaves taken from other tribes. The attackers on horseback are equipped with Spanish weapons\, clothing and leather armor to distinguish them from the opposition. \nThere are pieces missing from the original rendering. Parts were separated from the work sometime before 1908 and given to a Segesser family member where they are today. \nSegesser II \nThese hides depict a disastrous\, 1720 rout of Spanish troops and their allies in present-day Nebraska. \nThroughout the Spanish Colonial period\, officials at the Palace of the Governors routinely dispatched troops to patrol and explore beyond the colonial boundaries. Hearing of encroachment by the French\, New Mexico Governor Antonio Valverde y Cosio dispatched Spanish troops and Pueblo Indian auxiliaries to verify the rumors. Led by New Mexico Lieutenant Governor and Commander-in-chief Pedro de Villasur\, the military expedition also was charged with locating a suitable site on the remote eastern plains for a Spanish military post\, requested by the Spanish Viceroy in Mexico City. \nThe Villasur expedition headed north from Santa Fe to Taos\, turned east\, then northeast into present-day Kansas. They followed a Pawnee route to the Platte River\, moving north into eastern Nebraska. Beyond the junction of the Platte and Loup rivers\, they encountered a large Pawnee Indian encampment. Villasur initiated a dialogue and asked Juan de Archibeque (Jean l’Archévêque)\, a Frenchman and expedition interpreter\, to write a letter in French to a European within the Pawnee camp. The efforts failed and sensing a potentially hostile situation\, the expedition retreated and camped at the confluence of the Loup and Platte rivers. \nThe Segesser II painting can be pinpointed to the August 13\, 1720\, skirmish at the expedition camp. After daybreak\, the Pawnee and their Oto Indian allies—illustrated throughout the painting by their painted and unclothed bodies and shaved or close-cropped heads—ambushed the Villasur party. The painting also includes 37 French soldiers\, identified by their European-style clothing—conical hats\, coats\, breeches\, cuffs and leggings—firing long arms at the Spanish military expedition. \nComposed of 43 royal troops\, three Spanish civilians\, 60 Pueblo Indian auxiliaries and several other Indian allies\, the Villasur expedition was caught off guard\, and the pitched battle left many of them for dead in the tall prairie grass. The attack was a major catastrophe for New Mexico and casualties amounted to a third of the province’s best soldiers. The center of the painting portrays French soldiers with Pawnee and Oto supporters surrounding the camp. At the right of the painting\, Villasur expedition members who were guarding the animals are shown running to assist their Spanish comrades. \nInterestingly\, oral and written accounts of the battle do not mention French soldiers in the area of the encounter. Several Villasur survivors reported a volley of musket fire\, but in the confusion of the battle\, they did not know who was attacking them. It is possible that French traders took part in the ambush. Governor Valverde y Cosio\, perhaps in an effort to defend the actions of Villasur\, reported “two hundred Frenchmen had fired\, supported by a countless number of Pawnee allies.” \n  \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/segesser-hide-paintings-2/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/37_1200.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;VALUE=DATE:20080424 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180802 DTSTAMP:20230627T203820Z CREATED:20080424T060000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230627T203820Z UID:10001335-1208995200-1533167999@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Segesser Hide Paintings DESCRIPTION: URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/segesser-hide-paintings/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition 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
