Coronado National Memorial Historical Research Project Research Topics Written by Joseph P.

Sánchez, Ph.D. John Howard White, Ph.D. Edited by Angélica Sánchez-Clark, Ph.D. With the assistance of Hector Contreras, David Gómez and Feliza Monta University of New Mexico Graduate Students Spanish Colonial Research Center A Partnership between the University of New Mexico and the National Park Service [Version Date: May 20, 2014] 1 Coronado National Memorial Coronado Expedition Research Topics 1) Research the lasting effects of the expedition in regard to exchanges of cultures, Native American and Spanish. Was the shaping of the American Southwest a direct result of the Coronado Expedition's meetings with natives? The answer to this question is embedded throughout the other topics. However, by 1575, the Spanish Crown declared that the conquest was over and the new policy of pacification would be in force. Still, the next phase that would shape the American Southwest involved settlement, missionization, and expansion for valuable resources such as iron, tin, copper, tar, salt, lumber, etc. Francisco Vázquez de Coronado’s expedition did set the Native American wariness toward the Spanish occupation of areas close to them. Rebellions were the corrective to their displeasure over colonial injustices and institutions as well as the mission system that threatened their beliefs and spiritualism. In the end, a kind of syncretism and symbiosis resulted. Today, given that the Spanish colonial system recognized that the Pueblos and mission Indians had a legal status, land grants issued during that period protects their lands against the new settlement pattern that followed: that of the Anglo-American. The Pueblos base their land holdings on Spanish law, and apply it to Anglo-American legal procedures. Under Spanish governance, the “cane of authority” is still the symbol of authority, the once a year election of governors, the council and the written law are a part of the colonial heritage among the Pueblo Indians. Christianity is practiced among the Pueblos along with their religious and spiritual beliefs. Foods, language, governance, technology (and weaponry), farming techniques and irrigation systems and cultural exchanges today define the Native American domain that was once held by Spain and, later, Mexico. 2) Identify/discuss native peoples living in the San Pedro River Valley during the 16th century. Early Native American Settlement Patterns in present Southwestern U.S. prior to Coronado’s Expedition Of all migrations (inclusive of Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American) into the area, today commonly known as the Greater Southwest, none can match the slow but epochal marches of Native American tribes. Over many centuries, the ancestors of Native American tribes probed each valley for hundreds of years prior to the coming of Europeans, built towns, and spread their cultures beyond the confines of a vast territory within the Greater Southwest. Indeed, not only are they the first settlers of the Americas, they are the longest termed occupants of the land for thousands of years. When Spaniards first saw the Indian villages along the Río Grande, they commented that they lived in "pueblos" or villages, some of which were made of adobe or stone. The word "pueblo" distinguished these tribes from Plains Indians who lived in teepees. From west to east, the Pueblo People occupied a large area of land from northeastern Arizona to the Pecos River in eastern New Mexico. From north to south, many pueblos were located along 2 the Río Grande from Taos to El Paso. In western New Mexico, Hopi, Zuni, Acoma, Jemez, Santa Ana, and Zia maintained their cultures from times immemorial. Similarly, straddling the Great Plains of eastern New Mexico, Pueblo cultures ranged from the Piro and Tompiro villages behind the Manzano Mountain Range to the ancient pueblos at Paako, Galisteo, and Pecos as far north as Picuris and Taos. It is possible that the initial waves of migrants from northeast Asia began their movements toward North America earlier than 30,000 years ago. The first tangible evidence, a leaf-shaped flint spear point with fluted faces or grooves on both sides, has been dated to 12,000 years ago. It was found near Clovis, New Mexico, for which the Clovis Period site is named. The first spear points were discovered along with bones of a large prehistoric mammals. Since then other points have been widely discovered over much of North America in sites dating to at least 11,500 years. Other sites have been carbon-14 dated to 12,000 and 14,000 years ago. Sites in Mexico, such as that at Tepexpan, indicate a slightly different date, yet contemporary to the Clovis Period culture. Sites in Brazil and Chile indicate that stone tool and hearth remains may possibly date as far back as 30,000 years ago. Given the conclusive dating of Clovis and Tepexpan period cultures, and until a more remote date can be proven, however, most anthropologist hold to the conservative dating of 12,000 years ago. The earliest known documented occupation of North America reaches back 10,000 to 15,000 years, and other evidence indicates that a change from hunting and gathering cultures took place about 3,000 years ago with the domestication of corn. Farming became a new way of life for many cultures leading to more sedentary lifestyles. Thus, in the final centuries before Christ, the ability to grow and harvest plants year after year made permanent settlements near small streams or rivers possible. Early settlements date to about 800 B.C. at a point when settlements began to spread throughout the continent. Nearly 1,000 years later, about 200 B.C., early settlers in Mexico moved from basket making to pottery. Given the durability of pots, the settlers used them for cooking and for storing water and foodstuffs. Slowly basketry and pottery spread from Mexico northward to the settlements within the present Southwest of the United States. Over the centuries, several prehistoric cultures, largely in Arizona, evolved in the Southwest: Sinagua, Mogollon, Hohokam, Hakataya, and Western and Eastern Anasazi. The Sinagua and Hakataya sites share many cultural traits with the Mogollon, Hohokam, and Anasazi. The Sinagua, Spanish for "without water," were located in central Arizona and represent the development of an 8th to 12th century Pueblo Period culture. A volcanic eruption in the 1060s forced them to evacuate the area, but they returned. Like the Hohokam, the Sinagua borrowed from their neighbors inclusive of such innovations as irrigation systems, ceremonial ball courts, and flag stone masonry to build their homes. By the 1300s, the Sinagua appear to have abandoned the area and their culture either disappeared or melded into other larger cultures in the area. Examples of their architectural styles are evident at Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument and at Wupatki National Monument near Flagstaff, Arizona. Also called Patayan, the Hakataya, a Yuman name for the Colorado River, occupied sites in present western Arizona, Baja California, southeastern California and southern Nevada. Both the Sinagua and the Hakataya, displayed varied stages of farming, 3 basket making, and the production of stone, shell, and turquoise ornaments for jewelry and other artistic or ceremonial purposes. The Mogollon culture appeared about 200-300 A.D. and had become virtually extinct by the time the first Spanish explorers passed through the area in 1540. The Mogollon culture is named for the Mogollon Mountains in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico as well as southwestern Texas and northern Chihuahua. The Mogollon people lived in pit houses on high mesas for protection. Pit houses roofed with poles, brush and dirt, were dug several feet into the ground for good insulation against the cold of winter and the heat of summer. The Mogollon people were farmers and grew corn, squash and beans. They ground corn in metates (stone grinding slabs) with manos (stone grinders). They were also hunters, fishermen, and gatherers. They were also among the early pottery makers and decorated their ware with geometrical figures and stylized wild animal figures such as mountain lions, fish, birds, rabbits, deer, Mountain Sheep and frogs. Sometimes their art included human forms. The Hohokam people made their home in an area that stretched from southern Arizona between present Phoenix and Tucson then south into western Sonora to a point near Flagstaff in the north. Similar to the Mogollon culture, the Hohokam spanned a time period from 200 A.D. to the middle 1400s. The Pimas and Papagos referred to them as Hohokam or "those who have gone." The perplexing Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, believed to be a Hohokam site near Phoenix, preserves the ruins of a massive four-story structure built of high-lime desert soil nearly 700 years ago. The Hohokam were farmers. They constructed canals to bring irrigation waters from streams or rivers to their small fields. They cultivated corn, squash, beans, and cotton. They also, similar to Mesoamerican cultures, played a ball game with ball courts and mounds. Their homes, constructed above ground were primitive, at first, made of waddle and daub. As their culture progressed, they constructed their homes of adobe. The Hohokam made jewelry, pottery and clay figurines. They used shells from the Gulf of California and the Pacific Coast, which they mostly acquired by trade. It is possible they undertook trips to collect shells for their decorative jewelry such as pendants. They made beads, rings, and bracelets. Like other cultures, they used animal and human figures on their designs. The Anasazi were largely located in northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico and adjoining parts of Colorado and Utah. Originally, the Anasazi were hunter-gathers who, by 3,000 years ago, began planting corn, squash, beans and other crops. Anthropologists commonly refer to the Pueblo pre-agricultural period as the Basket Maker I stage lasting up to 3,000 years ago.

My guest today is Dr. Sally Foote of Okaw Vet Clinic in Illinois, and I asked her to talk to me today a little bit about self-injuring behavior because that's a big problem and it's something that we do sometimes when we are attempting to cope with problems and it's not usually helpful. So welcome, Dr. Foote. I'm so glad you're here today. Sally Foote, DVM: Thank you. If you hear a few background noises, that's because of my veterinary practice. I holed myself off in the exam room, but you may hear voices in the hall and just to let you know. Colleen Pelar: It's all about real life here. Things happen. We typically start with animals and then we move toward people. So we do see self-injuring behavior in animals sometimes. Can you tell me a little bit about that? When does that occur? Sally Foote, DVM: Well, I think um the most common thing many veterinarians, veterinary staff, even probably, you know pet owners that have had [00:01:00] some uh, whatever little more educated or experience with pets, we can think of, say, the dog who chronically licks their front paw chronically, maybe if their paws or at a spot on the back of their foot, and this is called an acral lick granuloma. That's the technical medical term and oftentimes what gets them to start licking is some kind of like stress, some kind of anxiety trigger, and it becomes chronic and it actually is partly a compulsive behavior.

  • Ghost Town Trail in SE Arizona
    FIELD TRIP REPORT Date: March 3 - 7, 2014 Destination: Ghost Town Trail in SE Arizona Leader: Gail Schulz Number of Participants: 15 Fifteen SJBAS members enjoyed a warm and pleasant trip on the Ghost Town Trail in southeastern Arizona. Trip leaders Gail and Marlo Schulz took the group to the Patagonia AZ area on the first day. After a quick tour of the Patagonia Museum our first stop was the Marcos de Niza Monument on the Mexican border at Lochiel AZ. De Niza was the first European to enter the land that would become the southwest United States on April 12, 1539. His party, sent to search for the Seven Cities of Gold, was guided by Esteban, the Moorish slave who had been shipwrecked off the Florida coast with his master in 1528. The survivors built makeshift rafts and tried to return to New Spain by following what is now the Gulf Shore of the United States. They were shipwrecked on the Texas coast, and the four survivors were taken captive by local Indians. They were eventually released and spent the next eight years walking across what is today Texas and Northern Mexico, eventually reaching Culiacan, Sinaloa. These four survivors told stories they had heard from the natives of Seven Cities of Gold, which they had not seen. These stories sparked an immediate interest in finding these Seven Cities of Gold and Fray Marcos de Niza and Esteban were sent to find these golden cities. Esteban was sent ahead to contact the Indians and win their confidence. When Esteban reached Hawikuh near Zuni, NM, he requested food and female companionship as he had done on his eight- year trek back to New Spain.

Gutiérrez implied that New Mexico’s seventeenth-century Fran- ciscan missionaries routinely abused their Pueblo Indian neophytes. “New Mexico’s Indians,” Gutiérrez informed us, “were conquered and made mansos [submissive] by a technique for which Fray Nicolás Hidalgo was renowned. In 1638 the friar beat Pedro Acomilla of Taos Pueblo and grabbed him ‘by the member and twisted it so much that it broke in half.’” If, for a fact, grabbing Pueblo men’s penises had been standard procedure in the missions, I dare say that the Pueblo-Spanish War, fought between 1680 and 1696, would have been not such a long time

  • Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.

    Season 2, Episode 1 Jesus, Incarnation, and The Christ Resurrection Paul Swanson: Welcome to season two of Another Name for Every Thing. Casual conversations with Richard Rohr responding to listener questions from his new book, The Universal Christ, and from season one of this podcast. Brie Stoner: This podcast was recorded in a tiny hermitage on the grounds of the Center for Action and Contemplation, a nonprofit founded by Richard Rohr located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Because of that, you may hear neighborhood sounds such as sirens, dogs, and the occasional peacock scream. That’s a real thing. Look it up. We are your hosts. I’m Brie Stoner. Paul Swanson: And I’m Paul Swanson. Brie Stoner: We’re staff members of the Center for Action and Contemplation and students of this contemplative path, trying our best to live the wisdom of this tradition amidst broken heaters, calls from school nurses, and the shifting state of our world. Paul Swanson: This is the first of twelve weekly episodes. Today, we’re tackling your questions on the theme, Jesus, Incarnation and The Christ Resurrection. Brie Stoner: Well, Richard, we spent the first season of Another Name for Every Thing exploring the themes in each chapter of your new book, The Universal Christ. It was so rich and so deep that we realized this conversation is just far from over. There are way too many things we still want to talk about, and circle around, and spend more time with. So, we asked our listeners to turn in their most pressing and burning questions, and Paul and I were just overwhelmed with the vulnerability and the care, and the concern, and the curiosity to want to talk about these themes more.

  • Colonial New Mexico
    COLONIAL NEW MEXICO INTRODUCTION During the late evening hours of 15 July 1945, Enrico Fermi wandered among his fellow scientists at the Trinity Test Site soliciting bets. He wondered. Would the test bomb ignite the atmosphere? And, if so, would it destroy just New Mexico or destroy the world? A deafening roar, a brilliant orange ball of fire and a thunderous shockwave at 5:29:45 a.m. the next morning answered his question. In that same instant, the military future of New Mexico departed dramatically from its martial past. Very quickly, a territory and state that was often an outpost of empire and a battleground for Native Americans and Europeans, was becoming inextricably linked to a new ideological and imperial struggle being waged on a global scale. Despite that, two things remained constant. New Mexico would be just as it had been, dependant on a military presence for survival and stability. Secondly, those who would take part in modern conflict came from often diverse backgrounds. From the warrior traditions of the ancient Pueblo Indians to the significance of the state in the military-industrial complex of the atomic age, New Mexico's military heritage has been and continues to be defined by the contributions of peoples from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. For four centuries after the first Spanish expedition, New Mexicans fought each other in a prolonged struggle for control of the land, its resources and even its people before uniting together in the twentieth century against foreign powers. The legacy of these conflicts extends far beyond the fields of battle to an important and influential element in New Mexico's society - the veterans themselves.
