  • Copper Canyon ADVENTURES
    Copper Canyon ADVENTURES The California Native For information or reservations call: (310)642-1140 (800)926-1140 www.calnative.com 2 Copper Canyon Copper Canyon is located in northern Mexico in the Sierra Madre Mountains, a vast scenic area of pine-forested mountains cleaved by huge, deep canyons. The canyon complex known as the “Barranca del Cobre,” or Copper Canyon, is four times larger than Arizona’s Grand Canyon and almost 300 feet deeper. This is the homeland of the Tarahumara Indians, who in spite of encroaching civilization, have managed to preserve their ancient traditional lifestyle, living in caves and simple shelters while practicing subsistence farming. They are considered to be the world’s greatest long-distance runners, racing up and down the vast area of canyons for transportation and sport. The Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad, which traverses the area, took nearly one hundred years to build. It passes through 86 tunnels and crosses 37 bridges as it climbs almost 8000 feet into the rugged Sierra Madres. It has been called one of the most spectacular train rides in the Western Hemisphere. Since 1983, we have been operating the very best trips through Copper Canyon. Our guides are known throughout the area for their work with the Tarahumara Indians, and we have become a major source of information on this remote area of Mexico. November 2019 Call 800-926-1140 or 310-642-1140 3 Copper Canyon Fully Escorted Tours hese fully escorted tours are led by experienced bilingual T guides, who enjoy sharing their extensive knowledge of the area with our guests.

  • A Conference in Pre-Columbian Iconography Elizabeth P. Benson
    A Conference in Pre-Columbian Iconography OCTOBER 3l ST AND NOVEMBER l ST, 1970 Elizabeth P. Benson, Editor Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collections TRUSTEES FOR HARVARD UNIVERSITY Washington, D.C. Copyright 1972 Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection Trustees for Harvard University, Washington, D.C. Library of Congress catalog number 72-90080 Preface OBERT WOODS BLISS began collecting Pre-Columbian art because he was lured by the beauty of the materials, the fineness of the craftsmanship, and Rthe fascination of the iconography of the first Pre-Columbian objects he saw. The Bliss Collection has been, since its beginning in 1912, primarily an esthetic one-probably the first esthetically oriented collection of Pre-Columbian artifacts- so it seemed appropriate to organize a conference that would focus on a cross-cultural, art-historical approach. When we sought for a theme, the first that came to mind was that great unifying factor in Pre-Columbian cultures, the feline. Large cats such as the jaguar and puma preoccupied the artists and religious thinkers of the very earliest civilizations, the Olmec in Mesoamerica and Chavín in Peru. The feline continued to be an important theme throughout much of the New World until the European con- quests. We are indebted to Barbara Braun for the title, “The Cult of the Feline.” Pre-Columbian studies merge many disciplines. This conference was not only cross- cultural but cross-disciplinary-with contributions from anthropologists, archaeolo- gists, art historians, and ethnologists-since we believed that the art-historical ap- proach to iconography should be based on the knowledge of what has been found archaeologically and what is known of the customs of the present-day peoples who have been isolated enough to carry on what must be very ancient traditions.
