Impact Report 2016 Impact 2016 Report COLORADO SPRINGS lo PIONEERS MUSEUM 2016 COLORADO SPRINGS Impact Report PIONEERS MUSEUM 1 am honored to serve as the President of the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum (CSPM) Board of Directors. In that capacity, I have the great privilege of working with my board colleagues, the Museum’s incredible volunteers and staff – all of whom are passionate about this city and its unique culture and history. The combined efforts of all of these fine people together with the generous support of all of you have made the Museum a I centerpiece for our city and the Pikes Peak region. Eight years ago, I came here from that large city to the north. As a self-proclaimed history geek, I spent my BOARD OF DIRECTORS noon hours walking around my new hometown – exploring its streets, its old buildings, its architecture Bill Nelson, President and its parks. On one of my first walks, I discovered the Museum, and figuratively, I never left. Through Jennifer Malenky, Vice President the Museum I discovered this wonderful place we call home. I discovered its rich American Indian history. Jan Martin, Treasurer I discovered our great visionary leader General Palmer. I learned about how Civil War adversaries Linda Sauer, Secretary came together to build a new future together. I encountered other amazing people, including Charles William (Bill) Cogswell Tutt, Helen Hunt Jackson, Alice Bemis Taylor, Spencer Penrose – this list goes on. Chrys Fotenos At about the same time as my arrival in Colorado Springs, CSPM was undergoing a large transformation Bernie Herpin to a public-private partnership. In 2013, the museum announced Vision 2023 (see page three), a ten-year Jarred Rego strategic plan, that strives to position CSPM as the source for igniting curiosity and inspiring discovery Barb Ferrill Van Hoy among all residents and visitors. As we enter the plan’s fourth year, the museum has experienced tremendous Dennis (Denny) Weber growth in visitation, exhibits and programs and philanthropic support, and so much of that success can CSPM FOUNDATION be attributed to your commitment! I would also be remiss if I did not take an opportunity to thank BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mayor John Suthers and former Mayor Steve Bach for their support, and equally deserving of CSPM’s Winn Demott, President appreciation, are all of the current and former City Council members whose commitment has contributed Sam Eppley, Treasurer to this thriving public-private partnership. At the end of 2016, we said goodbye to five board members– David Buckley, Secretary Dave Buckley, Harry Gautsche, Sue Grant, Sue Laabs and Marge Westbay–whose immeasurable Harry Gautsche contributions and leadership have been critical to our success. As much as we have achieved in a short Sue Laabs time, there is still much more to do. Working with the staff, the CSPM board has identified $1.5 million Jon Medved in needs outside of the annual operating budget that will allow us to realize Vision 2023’s lofty goals, Darryl Thatcher including Colorado Springs’ sesquicentennial celebration in 2021 (see page seven). A museum should not be a static place and the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum is anything but that. Five years ago, the Museum embarked on an ambitious, and indeed visionary, project to use state-of-the-art technology to bring our history alive through a series of interactive exhibits collectively called The Story of Us. As a new, revolutionary way for CSPM to tell stories, The Story of Us will continue to grow and unfold in the future. To my knowledge, no other museum anywhere is doing anything like this, and with your help, we can continue developing innovative exhibits and programs. Thank you for your generous participation at the Museum, and I hope your curiosity will be ignited and your sense of discovery will be inspired to learn more about all the Museum’s happenings. I encourage you to continue to be interested, involved and invested in making us a part of your story!

  • ETHNOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW DRAFT #2 Colorado National Monument Sally Mcbeth February 26, 2010
    ETHNOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW DRAFT #2 Colorado National Monument Sally McBeth February 26, 2010 written in consultation with the Northern Ute ETHNOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW DRAFT #2 Colorado National Monument Sally McBeth February 26, 2010 written in consultation with the Northern Ute Submitted to the National Park Service Cooperative Agreement # H1200040001 (phases I and II) and H1200090004 (phase III) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The generosity of many Ute friends, whose willingness to share their stories, remembrances, and recollections with me cannot go unacknowledged. I treasure their rich and profound understandings of ancestral landscape shared with me over the past three years. These friends include, but are not limited to Northern Ute tribal members (alphabetically): Loya Arrum, Betsy Chapoose, Clifford Duncan, Kessley LaRose, Roland McCook, Venita Taveapont, and Helen Wash. Their advice and suggestions on the writing of this final report were invaluable. Special thanks are due to Hank Schoch—without whose help I really would not have been able to complete (or even start) this project. His unflagging generosity in introducing me to the refulgent beauty and cultural complexity of Colorado National Monument cannot ever be adequately acknowledged. I treasure the memories of our hikes and ensuing discussions on politics, religion, and life. The critical readings by my friends and colleagues, Sally Crum (USFS), Dave Fishell (Museum of the West), Dave Price (NPS), Hank Schoch (NPS-COLM), Alan McBeth, and Mark Stevens were very valuable. Likewise the advice and comments of federal-level NPS staff Cyd Martin, Dave Ruppert, and especially Tara Travis were invaluable. Thanks, all of you. Former Colorado National Monument Superintendant Bruce Noble and Superintendant Joan Anzelmo provided tremendous support throughout the duration of the project.

  • Helen Hunt Jackson
    Helen Hunt Jackson By: Ashlyn Hauser American poet and writer, Helen Hunt Jackson, is currently making history with her recent non-fiction book, Century of Dishonor. Her book covers all the terrible injustices the ​ ​ Native Americans had to face with America from the time the revolution took place to 1881 when she published the book. After publishing, she sent a copy to every member in Congress, which called attention to the affairs, causing the creation of the Dawes Act in 1887, an act that separated members of a tribe into individuals. Later, in 1884, Helen Hunt published her second book, Ramona, a romance novel about ​ ​ an orphaned Native American girl and a wealthy owner of a sheep ranch. Although it sounds sweet, the novel emphasizes the government’s mistreatment of the Native Americans after the Mexican-American wars in South Carolina. Born on October 15, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts, Helen Fiske was born into a rich and religious family, her father being a professor. She was well educated, better than most women of her time, having been exposed to mathematics, science, and philosophy. As a child, she was described as a high-spirited, and fun-loving child; however, Helen ended up having a difficult childhood, for she was orphaned at 14 from the death of her mother through tuberculosis when Helen was 11, and her father dying only three years later. In 1852, Helen Fiske married Edward Bissell Hunt, a mechanical engineer in the U.S. Army. His constant changes in stations gave her the chance to connect with many writiers of her time.

  • LOS ANGELES LITERATURE and the RECONSTRUCTION of the PAST. Matthew Edwin El
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ERASURE AND REFORM: LOS ANGELES LITERATURE AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PAST. Matthew Edwin Elliott, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation Directed By: Professor David M. Wyatt, Department of English My dissertation is a literary and cultural history of Los Angeles from 1930-1950. I argue that this particular time and place——this era of Los Angeles history——provides a rich site for an exploration of American identity formations. It was during these years that Los Angeles experienced the extraordinary demographic and cultural changes that transformed the city from a place that in 1930 was still heralded by boosters as a small western outpost of white Americanism into what was by 1950 perhaps the nation’s most multicultural and multiracial city. Yet, this complex history of cultural change has been long invisible, for not only is Los Angeles among the most multicultural U.S. cities, it is also the most heavily mediated of places, and the pervasive images and myths of the city and its past constructed via Hollywood films and Chamber of Commerce postcards have functioned to erase this multicultural past. My study seeks to recover this hidden history of Los Angeles by examining the work of writers who represent and explore the lived complexities of existence in this dynamic setting. I focus on such writers as Chester Himes, Hisaye Yamamoto, and John Fante, who, I argue, not only portray something of the city’s lost past but also examine the process by which marginal voices are repressed and oppositional histories are erased. In addition, I discuss contemporary Los Angeles writers, including Walter Mosley, James Ellroy, and John Gregory Dunne.
